Things I learned today (23)
As Stephen Stills once noted, “There’s something happening here / What it is ain’t exactly clear.” The following will almost certainly not help.
- Apparently some flash drives are machine-washable.
- Personally, I prefer Pensoderm.
- Shaving your legs entails certain risks.
- The emoticon turns twenty-six. :)
- Photoshop comes into its own as an anti-smoking tool.
- Forget those black holes. Is the Large Hadron Collider destroying the nation’s economy?
- DNA can be used to trace dog doo, assuming that’s what you want to do.
- Nobody expects the
Spanish InquisitionUnited States Illuminati. - At long last, the official Privilege Pecking Order.
- What could possibly be more heinous a crime than murder? Why, selling cocaine, of course.
- Coyotes did not eat Paris Hilton’s dogs.
- Shouldn’t we have lost an airline or two by now?

I couldn’t read that whole thing, so could anyone tell me where “Not Bat(guano) Insane Privilege” falls on that continuum?

The Not Insane don’t worry about such considerations, therefore they are not included in the rankings.
It’s some catch, that Catch-22.

Indeed. That puts us simultaneously at the top and the bottom of the list.

Some flash drives can survive a trip through the washing machine? Live and learn. (That’s one of my minor worries - that some day I will come home with the thing still in my pocket, throw whatever it was I had on in the wash, lose the easiest way to transport the information I use in my lectures. [I'm not foolish enough to have just one copy, so I wouldn't permanently lose it, but the flash drive certainly is handy.]).
I’m not quite willing to go “Mythbusters” on that one, though. (It would be kind of a fun test, if you had a bunch of flash drives you didn’t mind sacrificing…and a computer USB port you wouldn’t mind gumming up.
