Well, nearly got run over twice on the way home from work, nearly got in a fight, got called tons of horrible names for no reason, left my door pass for work on the bus and tripped over some uneven paving...

Ahh, Lancashire....I highly recommend it for a vacation

Yesterday afternoon I got a knock on my door and it was a cop going house to house in order to warn people that "the gypsies" were back in the area and asking if I'd seen any. I kid you not, that's what he said. After looking past him to see if maybe I'd wandered into the filming of Borat 2, I said I hadn't seen any gypsies, so he cautioned me they were active nearby and so to bring in my pets and outdoor items, especially items that might be made of recyclable metals they could steal and sell, to make sure all my doors and windows were secure, to bring my cars in at night, and to exercise caution if I was walking alone at any time of day. Then in the most uber-bizarre part, he advised me that if I encountered anyone at my door who was offering to sell me purfume, incense or "magically charmed items like bracelets, necklaces and rings" to be very careful how I dealt with them because they probably weren't actually charmed. I said, I, uh, would, and the officer thanked me and went on his way.

I live in a weird, weird place.

Actually, most gypsies are like that. I don't want to sound racist, but they do steal anything that's made out of metal.
In Hungary, anyway.

The last two Sunday mornings were somewhat interesting. The Sunday before last three deer of fairly considerable size ran out in front of me as I walked down to the bus stop, they ran onto the road causing several drivers to brake pretty quickly.
  Yesterday I walked past two completely flattened roadkill hedgehogs on my way upto the local shop first thing.

Ronnie James Dio has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. It's in an early stage, so it's treatable.
I hope he'll be allright.

Six Stages of Irish Grieving:

Step 1:  Shock. Genuine and mournful dismay at the person's passing.

Step 2: Humor. Like a child scared of the dark, spit in the face of cruel death by making jokes about what a funny barstard the deceased was.

Step 3: Emoting. Weep, wail, rend clothing, pull hair at funeral. Get it all out of you.

Step 4: Washing Away Sorrow. Commence to become blind drunk at the departed's wake.

Step 5: Healing. Proclaim that so and so was a good soul who is now going onward toward Heaven, where you'll one day meet again.

Step 6: Resume normal life of praying, drinking, fighting, and making babies.

Anyone remember that movie The Abyss?  There's like a part near the end where the main character is down in a deeeeep trench (as in, so deep he has to breathe a special pinkish liquid to keep his lungs from collapsing deep) and he's trying to disarm a nuclear bomb that's lying nearby.

I'm curious though, even if it went off, would a nuclear weapon really do a hell of a lot at that level?  I mean, yes, nukes are powerful, but with all the pressure of the ocean, would that contain the blast radius?  Granted, I don't remember how many megatons the nuke was supposed to be, but still...

Anybody here a physics expert?  :)

My parents and brother do the exactly the same thing.

Interesting question.  I've seen underwater nuclear tests on TV, they're truly spectacular.  Like a cubic kilometer of water thrust straight up into the air at a thousand miles an hour.  Of course that was probably a gigantic nuke, I seem to remember the one in The Abyss being very small.  But I'm sure if you were in an underwater habitat a mile or two from the blast, you'd stand a very good chance of dying.  Water can't be compressed, so the blast wave would hit you pretty much intact.  It would weaken the farther you were from it, as the pressure wave spread out over a larger and larger area.  But I'd be prayin' to God

Got a foot (at least) or snow last night.  And it's still snowing  Luckily our driveway has a hill on either side, and is perpendicular to the direction of the prevailing wind (which is gusting to 50 mph).  Yeah, perfect setup for drifting.  My car looks like a cartoon car, with snow drifted up in a neat pile on top of it, like a VW Beetle.  Whole driveway's 2-3 feet deep, down to where they plowed me in at the bottom.

Guess I'll get a good workout today with the shovel

We had a small snowfall last night but now its a rather vicious rainstorm.  I'm hoping for a mild winter.
