    Biased logic???

    If logic were pure, would not it be realized that there is no point to life or existence? What I do or don't do may have an effect on other people, so, logically, it can be concluded that it is in the best interest for others if I things that are beneficial to others. Ultimately, we are either...

    Asphalt vs. Concrete

    No, I've never noticed that, in actually can't recall ever having seen a concrete intersection of asphalt streets. That's not something they do around here. I guess it's a regional thing. I would have guessed that asphalt provided more traction, I guess because it looks rougher.

    Help me identify this Christmas song

    Gato_Solo, thanks, that's it! :) Do you know the name of the deep-voiced singer? Is that is natural singing voice or is his voice normally higher but he's singing lower?

    Asphalt vs. Concrete

    Just for the record, Glen Burnie is in Anne Arundel County, not Prince George's. But I didn't specifically mean Glen Burnie, although I was on I-97, a concrete surface highway, when it occurred to me that most of the other highways I'm familiar with around MD are asphalt (I-95, most of I-695...

    Help me identify this Christmas song

    I can't tell; I can't find him doing Silent Night on Kazaa. I did see some other song names I recognized, like "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen", and going only on my memory of those songs, I don't think it's him.

    Help me identify this Christmas song

    Just tried the Nat King Cole version...That's not it. I'm talking DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP deep. Think Michael Clarke Duncan singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (or whatever that song is called) in Armageddon. Maybe even deeper.

    Help me identify this Christmas song

    Clean voice, not like Armstrong's at all. I wouldn't have thought Armstrong's voice was actually that deep. I'm going to have to see if I can find those other two singers' versions. I would like to add that the more I try to remember it in my mind, the more I'm sure I remember that this deep...

    Help me identify this Christmas song

    A few years ago, I heard on the radio a few times a particular Christmas song that I'd like to identify. Actually, I know the song; it's Silent Night. But I want to know who sang it, so I can download it wthout having to download the millions of versions of this popular Christmas tune. It was...

    Asphalt vs. Concrete

    Around MD, asphalt is a much more common paving material than concrete. But I'm curious to know the differences between the two. One must have some advantages over the other, otherwise the other would always be used, and the one never would. Which is cheaper to pave with? Which lasts longer...

    Turd studies

    For absolutely no reason whatsoever, I have decided to undertake a study of turds. Please answer the following questions to help me complete my study. 1. What is the average amount of time it takes you to feel that you are finished unloading your turds? 2. What is the average number of turds...

    References: I love 'em!

    I love finding hidden (or even not-so-hidden) references to obscure things that I enjoy. For example, buried deep within Thawte's digital certificate extension configuration system is the following message: "You probably won't trigger a Vogon invasion of Earth if you press the wrong button..."...

    How to Stay Awake at Meetings

    Interesting. There are a few I could probably safely remove, and there are some I'd need to add. People in my company are fond of some of these sayings at meetings: "We will discuss that offline." Offline meaning one-on-one (or including only the relevent/involved/concerned parties) at...

    7 office party no-nos

    My company's Christmas party was Dec. 2, for some reason. Families are not disallowed; actually, each employee is allowed and encouraged to bring a guest, typically the "significant other". We have an interesting gift exchange. Each person attending (guests included) need to bring a gift worth...

    Christmas Quiz

    I got 7. I was expecting one of the possible answers to #9 to be pawnbrokers, for I know St. Nick is the patron saint of them. I know that the traditional symbol of a pawnbroker, the three balls tied together, is connected somehow to St. Nick, but I forget how. Is there a list of correct...
