Did you think that just because I am on another coast I would not post the following rant about your use of the term "guesstimate" ? Guesstimate is not a valid word. You are either guessing, as in pulling it out of your ass (which I didn't see listed in the survey as anyone's favorite sex act) or estimating, which is making an assumption based on data. If you take this survey into account then you are estimating how common your favorite sex acts are. If you are guessing, then don't bother clicking on the link, you don't need any information to guess. I suggest the AE team change guesstimate to estimate or I am going to go all medieval on their ass all the way from DC.

Valatan, This comment from the video comments section should be able to clear up all those silly questions.

"A couple of the preceeding comments suggest that the lack of a theory which would support the observed effects is part of the problem of acceptance. Well, there is a theory which is based on a volumetric fractal that progressively fills space, creating electrons, protons, neutrons and the elemental isotopes. Mass and volume are 1:1. The electron mass is 1/1822.5, and the proton mass is (sqrt 0.75) * pi / 2.7= 1.007666313... All atoms are described as spinning arrays of electrons. The constituent protons and neutrons are also spinning arrays of electrons. This neatly supports E=m*c*c, unifying mass and energy through the electron. In the assembly of this fractal, a single geometric spatial arrangement, and a single volumetric compression, repeated several times creates everything. The elements that result are a volumetric binary code of attractive and inert volumes. If you count the attractive volumes as ones (1)s and the inert volumes as twos, (2)s they add to the atomic number of the element. The elemental models exhibit correct bonding potentials (number and angles), you can SEE the different covalent and ionic bonds. All elemental bonding is the continuation of the single geometric arrangement present in fusion. Perhaps I have been claiming too much, because no one will look at my work, perhaps I am just too old, or perhaps I am the Susan Boyle of theoretical physics? So, there is a theory that explains Pd absorbing vast ammounts of H,D, T, etc. It flattens these simple atoms into a spinning 2-D array. I will meet with any open minded physics or chemistry department, stateside, and travel to your university on my own dime."

Ok, it was that next to last column I was missing. Got it. Good job Ben :)

2009 Mar 27 09:17 (#4125.12478):
I meant, what school won the tournament.

2009 Mar 27 09:17 (#4125.12477):
wait, is it over? Who won? Are there more games or am I just completely out mathematically? I don't like basketball.

2009 Mar 26 05:23 (#4125.12473):
Ok, I'm confused. If we aren't counting Doncarlo's second bracket, then aren't I in second to last? I'm so confused. When does this thing end? Can we tie for second to last?

2009 Feb 26 02:40 (#4115.12418):
Good one!

2009 Feb 26 11:20 (#4115.12416):
Well, lets reverse the question. Who is the most recognizable least famous person. Like who would you say, damn I know that face, and have no idea their name. I'm thinking someone from a famous commercial. Like the woman from the "Head On" commercial or something. Or maybe an actor that has made their living being a Law and Order/Cold Case/Without a Trace/Bones extra.

The cockles of my heart became infect around age 12 and I was force to have radical surgery to have them removed. Since then I have failed to enjoy the trite, sappy, "tear jerking" drivel that is the bread and butter of today's movie industry. You may call my cynical, but really, it is a serious medical problem.

2009 Jan 18 10:31 (#4095.12352):
um, now that I'm over thirty are you calling me an "older woman" ??? And for the record, this "older woman" thinks Nicholas Sparks should be shot and burned.

2008 Nov 28 06:43 (#4053.12190):
MrFlip, That is clearly a knock off Burberry. Take a closer look.

2008 Aug 28 10:47 (#3971.11824):
Um, gospel had more butt than country and as much as rock.... and I think I can name the country songs that had "sack" in them....

2008 Jul 16 01:38 (#3925.11617):
having just come out of the system and jumped ship I would like to point out a few things. Flip is dead wrong about Reichl and DeWitt. It is Paban leading the charge and doing a good job of it. Reichl is one of the worst profs to women. She is of the "it was hard for me so it will be hard for you" camp though she will go on all day about we need more women in physics but she is know for forcing them out of the program. I have only seen DeWitt on one occasion and it had nothing to do with woman stuff. Paban is amazing. She is tough but supportive and doing a good job helping the women in the department.
I do agree with nate in one aspect. Title IX doesn't work here because everyone is competing against everyone and the competition is not inherently separated by gender as is the case with sports. But whatever the system is right now in physics, it isn't working. There needs to be something to force the old white men to change. Yes, they think that they are not biased, but we all know they are.

2008 Jul 02 09:46 (#3905.11521):
Ned, I like to help little lost puppies..... that's why I'm an "F" and your a "T". How the hell are we married? I guess your "T" keeps my "F" from being the crazy cat lady.

2008 Jul 01 04:48 (#3905.11490):
INFP 33/62/75/33. I like that Mary, mother of Jesus is also INFP. I wonder who got her to take the test....

2008 Jun 11 08:09 (#3886.11421):
well that was a hard quiz!

2008 May 21 08:39 (#3859.11321):
I disagree with MrFlip. I got one and two, as well as the repeat artist each time, other than that, I got nothing. For the kids I totally guessed wrong, but I stand by the fact that the fans for the artist I guessed would look just the same.

2008 Apr 03 12:44 (#3800.11130):
Oh, the musical that nate linked to was German, I know Hugo's French!! Who they hell else would write like 4000 pages about the french revolution!!!!! Are you talking about my meter or the onion's?

2008 Apr 02 07:43 (#3800.11125):
Oh natedogg, believe that Disney has really not sinned
That show is not based on a word Vicky penned
They first take the book and they slash and they hack
And create a movie that is hopped up on crack

The musical is based on this movie, a hit!
And Germany did not mind, did not mind a bit!
So Quasi and gang sing as Germans all look
not knowing that he once came from a book

So know that as Hugo quietly slumbers
He can not get mad at the musical numbers
for his will has been followed right down to the letter
And I'm sure kids all think that Disney did better!

2008 Mar 16 11:21 (#3772.10999):
For the first time ever I have done a braket. I picked mostly randomly with the exception of religiuos schools, most of the time I picked them. God has to be with one of them, right?

2008 Mar 07 11:59 (#3763.10956):
Alright, just to be a twit, do you have permission to use that chimp photo? We just had to ask someone to take one of our pictures down because they used it without permission and we had already had copyright issues with it.

2008 Feb 19 01:11 (#3739.10883):
Man, that last link that habcous posted just scared the hell out of me. I am so white!!!! Two last names and everything.... At least my bike isn't worth that much. I have to say I am really embarrassed. Quick, what is something less typical that I can take up as a hobby?

2008 Jan 30 05:15 (#3713.10803):
who honestly thinks this was made as an exercise machine??? "Massage wand" anyone?

2008 Jan 17 01:00 (#3692.10766):
You should use the part where the guy flies through the air to discuss torque.

2008 Jan 14 04:07 (#3692.10736):
I know you guys can kick ass, which is why I posted it. I want my friends to be the proud owners of the nanotrophy!!!! y'all might have to buy me a beer with your winnings though.....

2007 Dec 11 10:46 (#3656.10626):
Do you think any of the musicians would find the person sending the letter and sue them? That would be funny and sad.

2007 Nov 02 01:00 (#3602.10489):
Oh no Carl, it looks like "The Big Bang Theory" might be hit hard according to the article! My "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Making the Team" however will not be effected.

2007 Oct 24 04:54 (#3592.10445):
Its not dog concepts that are failing, it is things Flip likes that are failing. Remember what he did to mustashe Pete's, Bollywood Calling, and that other place he made run out of food? :)

2007 Oct 16 04:59 (#3574.10376):
So how accurate is that list now? Has anything changed?

2007 Oct 13 02:20 (#3566.10358):
I originally saw it CCW and then when I was reading the information on the left, it flipped. Now I can get it to flip pretty regularly by not looking directly at it. When I first see it though, she is going CCW.

2007 Oct 09 06:47 (#3559.10339):
And then there are the the other prizes. Note the one in physics. Also note that I am referencing all of these papers in my dissertation. The work my work is based on is on the same level as sex in an MRI machine.

2007 Oct 01 03:53 (#3554.10321):
1. Whiffing machine. Whiffle Balls move very differently than baseballs and my guess is that he can't hit anything.

2. Freestyler wins, no question. Its more about technique than strenght.

3.Greene wins, unless that is one hell of a fast moving walkway.

4.Pete wins with dumb luck. I think the hop at the end is the key to the game and if you don't practice with that, your not going to use it.

5.Torn between b and c

6.Rocco kills him.

7.Close but no cigar

8.Paez smokes him.

I am all up for doggy paddle vs. freestyle, but it has to be longer than 50m. Flip, at 50m your freestyle could beat mine, but at 75m you would loose. So there is no way my doggy paddle would beat your freestyle at 50m. 100m, now were talking...

2007 Sep 18 09:38 (#3534.10269):
Also, look at the google ads at the bottom. Now that I now how I can be hurt by them, I'm glad I know where to buy them!

2007 Sep 16 10:24 (#3531.10260):
So when are we having the party?

2007 Sep 12 12:11 (#3519.10231):
We have a fridge at Kung Fu that sells water on an honor system. My guess is that it is NEVER short. Of course it helps that the guy managing it could kick your ass.

2007 Sep 01 11:10 (#3502.10166):
Ok Flip, it looks like you found some site with interesting commercials. So far you've told me to not push my kids into an academic career and now you want me to buy Cadbury Dairy Milk candy bars. Ok, you got it. I'm on my way out right now to buy some gorilla endorsed awesome chocolate. You have any commercials for a company that writes your dissertation for you? Post it.

2007 Aug 22 12:25 (#3487.10141):
I just read nate's link. Ummm that definition defines a fucking guess! Even the definition says it isn't any different from "guess." Its just a way to say "I'm guessing, but believe me damn it! I'm trying to sound smart here!" Morons.
Ok, I think I'm done.

2007 Aug 22 12:22 (#3487.10140):
You knew this was coming.... My aversion to the word guesstimate is nothing like these people's aversion to the word "moist". I don't like that word because it is useless, not because it sounds ugly. It is just a wrong useless word and it is stupid and only stupid people don't know whether they are "estimating" or "guessing" and therefor have to resort to a mash of the two. Learn the fucking definition of the work "estimate" you idiots! I do have the same aversion for the same reason to the phrase "my bad". It isn't even an extra syllable to say "fault" instead of "bad". Use fucking correct english you morons!
As for words I find ugly, I hate the word "Knoll".

2007 Aug 22 10:02 (#3485.10133):
Well its not going to hurt you. Its already fermented so what else could happen. I once drank a Sugar Free (not diet mind you) Dr Pepper from 1978 and I lived. This was in 2000. It might taste bad, but whatever. I think you should bring that stuff to HH100 to celebrate afterward.

2007 Aug 16 02:37 (#3484.10126):
Don't forget that we talked about the best way to kill a fly (other than trapping it in Carl's soda cup).

2007 Aug 16 09:44 (#3482.10123):
Who's going to do the ice cream eating contest with me?

2007 Aug 08 11:55 (#3473.10112):
He is also rather skilled with cows and chickens.

2007 Jul 13 09:25 (#3441.10038):
Nate, I think it is more that NOBODY lives there.

2007 Jul 11 04:45 (#3440.10027):
Oooh do you still have Carl's art test pirate?

2007 Jul 06 09:08 (#3425.10007):
I did finally get my donut at the 7-11 that Nate talked about. I was a little upset because the owner was Indian and said "thank you" but I was denied my "come again."

2007 Jul 05 01:23 (#3427.10003):
I got 19/20 too. I missed the last one, but I got lucky on the one Flip and Ziggy missed. How the hell should I know what form I'm supposed to fill out? I guess I actually learned something in my Congress class....

2007 Jul 04 10:31 (#3425.9999):
I have a bit of a thing for unnaturally pink donuts. I stopped at a 7-11 on Oltorf and I am sad to report that they did not have all the Simpsons goodies, most notably my beloved donuts. They did have Buzz cola and Squishys though but no Krusty-Os either.

2007 Jun 29 05:32 (#3424.9993):
The cat died of natural causes, right?

2007 Jun 26 03:30 (#3420.9984):
So this person wants me to pay $134 for her credit card bill because she is such and idiot that she racked up $7,000 in credit card debt and now needs help. WTF! So I guess one might say it is a statement about consumer culture. It is internet begging and I always get really annoyed by it. I think I'm going to go sell my boobs for advertising on eBay.

2007 May 25 05:41 (#3384.9859):
I was a veg. for three long months my junior year of college. I love meat. I gave in and I've never looked back. Yay meat!

sites we love to love
