The explanation is not for that exact bot, but for a long time winner of the Roshambot contest, “Iocaine Powder,” whose name I’m sure you all know is taken from “The Princess Bride.” You’ll know why when you read it.
I don’t know. This is the kind of stuff that makes me happy to be alive. Hope you find it interesting.
I don’t believe in paranormal experiences, but I had one. Several months after a very close friend of mine died, I was walking across my living room when I suddenly stopped in my tracks and heard my friend speak to me in my head. He said, “Everything is exactly the way it’s supposed to be.” Somehow I knew that although the dead are not forbidden to speak to the living, there is a good reason why they generally don’t. I had to laugh, because Frank always was such a stubborn willful SOB.
I have no explanation for my experience. I only know that it happened.
There is a website that advocates “setting books free”. You register a book that you like, put a label on it asking people to read it and pass it on, then leave it in a public place. Then the people who find the book can log in and post their impressions, as well as where they left it for someone else.
Well, I don’t know about everyone, but I found this interesting.
Want to know what the world looks like where all those lines cross on your map? Check out the Degree Confluence Project. Photos of the world at the exact crossings of lines of latitude and longitude. Interesting way to both look at and see the planet.
I did a search on “megaphones” on ebay (I work at a school) and this was one of the hits. The advertisement and descriptions are so hilarious! Obviously written by someone who doesn’t speak much English. And I love the cartoon man with the megaphone hanging around his neck–it hangs awful low!
Anyway, for a laugh, check it out…
Okay, so I’ve been on vacation for a while here, so I don’t know what has been posted and what hasn’t over the past week or so. I haven’t seen this posted yet, though, so here goes.
