I just witnessed Charlie Sheen spell out the phrase "hash tag" on twitter.

I guess he got bored of coke.

So a few weeks ago I used a big staple gun and a big thick towel to near-completely cover up the only window in my room. It blocks 99.9% of light, for all intents and purposes.

Cause I work at night and have to sleep in the day, this is the largest improvement to my sleeping ability that has ever happened. I feel a toll on my sanity has been taken though, since now when you're in my room, it's virtually impossible to tell whether it is night or day.

It just bothers me that when I'm sitting here at my computer, and I see the clock says "2:50", I have to consciously tell myself "That's AM Josh, no matter how awake you feel, that's AM and not PM".

Yeah, graveyard shift gets old really fast.

In which case you need you some chlorine trifluoride.

Why did I just go look up chlorine trifluoride?

Chlorine trifluoride and gases like it have been reported to ignite sand, asbestos, and other highly fire-retardant materials. In an industrial accident, a spill of 900 kg of chlorine trifluoride burned through 30 cm of concrete and 90 cm of gravel beneath.

It ignites glass on contact.

Just in case there are a few people out there that haven't seen this yet:  Sand Won't Save You This Time.

Nobody mentioned yet how it EXPLODES when it touches water?

Looking up more information at least yer sorta ok with a CO2 extinguisher....  It won't actually DO anything because it seems to be self oxidizing, but it won't make it worse at least.

Screw magma, Chlorine triflouride solves all problems.

It's weird to me that murrican grocery stores like Giant Eagle are open all day long.

Must be a regional thing, because that's the first time I've heard of that store.

I don't.... It doesn't.... There's too.... Really?

I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with what might be the least obvious and entirely skip the article's purported point: Fox News has an article suggesting there should be gun control.  Then let's move to how the article has to specifically note that Stevie Wonder is blind. Now now, we'll skip right over the initial pun, because we don't want to encourage this, "No one could see this coming," gargle-mesh.  Ooo, vomit educing level of punny, my favorite....

This is one Fox News article where the average reader's emotions are impossible to predict. Ordinarily, safe bet most Fox News readers would respond to an article liking gun control with the standard, "Shut up you stupid hippies, hands off my guns." Interestingly, some of them are going around saying the gun control laws making sure you can see what you are shooting is ok. Clearly this is a sharp departure from the usual "gun control is the devil and screw you too" network policy."

Wow

After a day of petty bickering (happens to the best of us) I make one more stab-veiled-as-a-quip. 10 seconds later:
Wife: "DIVORCE! *pause here*
... is a tv-series that I want to watch, can you download it for me?"
Me, after my heart started beating again: "Djeez can you not say words like that on our friggin honeymoon?" (yes I swear like that)

One of my favourite quotes is from a youtube channel I enjoy called "Iraqveteran8888".

"Hell, I sold a gun to a blind man once."

Isn't it generally considered important what is being shot at?

I bought the Civilization IV: Complete Edition on Steam.

I somehow got it double. Now I have two Civ IVs in my Library o.O

[Putnam]

The second one is an uninstallable mac version, AFAIK.
