Anyone ever watch The IT Crowd? I think it's hilarious.

I absolutely LOVE that show. It's almost as much fun looking at all the Geek Swag on the shelves behind them as the show itself.

Geez, how long is TSN going to have John Farrell's mug as the lead story on their home page?!? And they're surprised when they're referred to as the Toronto Sports Network. Nobody outside of Toronto and Boston cares.

Hi.

 

[forty_three]

I was watching a replay of the Capitals/Penguins 24/7 thing on NHL network last night.


I sincerely could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that Sidney Crosby has a Lucky Jockstrap that is held together with duct tape. I would have been just fine never having that piece of information in my head.

LMAO!! This is pure gold!!

Crosby & the Pens should put the Duct Tape up for auction after every game. I bet they could make a fortune for Charity.LOL

Why Are States So Red and Blue? - NYTimes.com

I found this part interesting and never really thought of it but it makes sense:

The historian David Hackett Fischer traces the divide back to the British settlers of colonial America. The North was largely settled by English farmers, the inland South by Scots-Irish herders. Anthropologists have long noted that societies that herd livestock in rugged terrain tend to develop a “culture of honor.” Since their wealth has feet and can be stolen in an eye blink, they are forced to deter rustlers by cultivating a hair-trigger for violent retaliation against any trespass or insult that probes their resolve. Farmers can afford to be less belligerent because it is harder to steal their land out from under them, particularly in territories within the reach of law enforcement. As the settlers moved westward, they took their respective cultures with them. The psychologist Richard Nisbett has shown that Southerners today continue to manifest a culture of honor which legitimizes violent retaliation. It can be seen in their laws (like capital punishment and a stand-your-ground right to self-defense), in their customs (like paddling children in schools and volunteering for military service), even in their physiological reactions to trivial insults.

That's pretty interesting, and it makes perfect sense.

If the government folks in charge of this stuff actually knew anything about technology, we might not have these issues.
