Back to My Roots
It is important to get back to one’s roots occasionally. To that end, I give you a TALKING BABY! (Okay maybe it isn’t a talking baby but he is quite expressive.)
Can programming be funny? Nobody knows.

Did you ever wonder what was in Crispin Glover’s case when he appeared on Letterman? One rumor is that it was replicas of diseased eyeballs.
I found this new “web site” on the Internet yesterday. If you would like to check it out yourself, the URI is http://www.facebook.com. Apparently, the idea is to make virtual friends and to expand your “social network”.
I think these guys are on to something.
Previously, I thought I was too old for Facebook. It turns out, there are people even older than me friending, etc. I can’t wait to get back in touch with all my Snobson High friends again so they can give me virtual wedgies in the locker room. I will reciprocate by virtually looking down and muttering to myself. Maybe I’ll be allowed to enter the virtual smoking area for some quality time with the stoners.
For me, Facebook is a healthy dose of fresh shame. Next week: MySpace.

As soon as your children are able to talk, they will start asking you questions that you do not know the answer to. For example, “Daddy, why did you just end that sentence with a preposition?” or “What is a preposition?”
I think I have a pretty good strategy for these types of questions. I always answer, “Nobody knows.” This is better than “I don’t know,” which makes you look dumb. Nobody knows implies that even our greatest minds have not figured it out yet. This strategy also helps you take an educated guess. For example:
Q: “Daddy, why is the sky blue?”
A: “Nobody knows for sure. Maybe someday scientists will discover blue chunks of ice floating in space that reflect the sun’s rays.”
Q: “Daddy, I need help with my math homework. What is a coefficient?”
A: “Nobody knows. I think the math guys are still working that one out.”
Q: “Daddy, can God make a rock so big that even he could not lift it?”
A: “Nobody knows, go to bed and maybe God will tell you in your sleep.”
You might be asking yourself, “self, aren’t my children too smart for this trick to work?” I think you already know my answer to that one.
What do I love about this video? I love how it is okay with the health department as long as the monkeys wear clothes.
