I can’t say I was offended by any of the content in Freddy Got Fingered since the things you see on the Internet desensitizes you to about anything real quick, but I was disappointed and expected something more than a ragtag collection of bad, extreme Farrelly Brothers-style gross out jokes and recycled Tom Green Show sketches. If you must go (it’ll certainly be a memorable experience), be sure to bring a parent, grandparent, or date. They’ll never forgive you.

i got sidetracked a bit and instead of doing real work, i ended up going through my icq message archives a little (i’ve had an almost continuous archive since i started w/ icq. i have 39651 sent and received messages recorded, with the first on 11/20/1997.

i was halfway there looking up the numbers, so i decided to make a little percentage chart of some of the people i’ve talked to most (more than 1,000 events, ordered by oldest first message). actually, i wonder if there’s a icq stats tool that will generate all this useless stuff automagically?

Therefore, sixty men can dig a post hole in one second. this may be called the syllogism arithmetical, in which, by combining logic and mathematics, we obtain a double certainty and are twice blessed.” -Ambrose Bierce

  Resources for Teaching and Research relating to the History of Christianity

How can a Christian, for example, feel confident at the idea that non-Christians cannot conclusively disprove Christianity, when it is also true that Christians cannot disprove Judaism, or Islam, or Hinduism, or any of an innumerable variety of other religious faiths? How can Christians be so troubled by Atheists, with whom they are in perfect agreement as to the nonexistence of all god(s) but one?
