Speaking of librarians…

Captain Kirk should have been a librarian

Leave it to Mr. Spock to speak the logical truth.

A Barracuda Networks study, based on an analysis of more than 1 billion daily e-mail messages sent to its more than 50,000 customers worldwide, found that 90-95 percent of all e-mail sent in 2007 was spam.

Wow. I knew it was bad, but not THAT bad.

And in case anyone doesn’t know how email spam got its name…

A Christmas Story House

Now open for tours, A Christmas Story House. “Restored to its movie splendor… Directly across the street from the official A Christmas Story House Museum, which features original props, costumes and memorabilia from the film, as well as rare behind-the-scenes photos and a gift shop.”

I wonder if the museum has an ice-cold flag pole you can put your tongue on? Go ahead, I triple-dog dare you!

Avast! Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day. So shiver me timbers.

If ye mateys will be plunderin’ and pillagin’ and on ye computers, better to use the ergonomic keyboard for pirates, than to suffer the fate of the scurvy dogs with the dreaded carpel tunnel syndrome.

Arrrrrrrrrr!

Death Star conspiracy theory

This is too funny: Was the Death Star attack an inside job?

“Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?”

“Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t?”

“How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? …analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?”
