...who wouldn't want to breed with Mr. Bird?
c'mon. Really. You're killing me.
Guys would grow uteruses (why can't the plural be "uterii"?) in the hopes of birthing little Birds. Post-menopausal ladies would invent time travel to go back to their fertile years for a chance.
It's National Puppy Day! Show us the cutest puppy you can find.
Mine.
why?
WHY????
Let me refresh your memory:
Got it?
Now, WHY?!?!????
Students at every level, from grade school to grad school, face
dramatic changes in the institutions they attend thanks to new digital
technologies. PCs, the Internet, whiteboards, presentation software,
and other high-tech devices, once considered educational aides for the
library, the media lab, and the home, are increasingly a central part
of the classroom curriculum itself, with results that have yet to be
fully understood.

MIT's great lecture series on the classic Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest Introduction to Algorithms content. All software developers should be required to review the lectures in this course.

it's, like physics... yo.
the water washed away everything
but the chance to begin again
so we came from cities & towns,
from long golden fields
& we stood side by side
until we made a bridge to dry land,
back to a place
we have promised to hold safe
for each other's children,
back to a place
called America
the situation:
- water rising well above the 500 year flood stages. flooding on all fronts.
- buy a massive amount of sand (actually something that looks more like kitty litter)
- buy a massive amount of bags (burlap, plastic, etc.)
- buy a massive amount of plastic ties to tie off the bag openings
- put up 20-30 stations of sandbag manufacturing, each station consists of:
- two saw horses
- a wood panel with 3 holes cut out
- three traffic cones turned upside down in the holes
- the bagger: the bagger sits in front of an inverted cone and places an empty bag beneath the cone opening
- the digger: shovels the sand mixture into the inverted opening of the cone
- the finisher: twists the bag and ties it off with a plastic tie
- the pitcher: throws the completed bag into a forklift so that it can be loaded into a truck for distribution
- large machinery, dump trucks, forklifts, etc.
- heavy gloves
- lots of gatoraide, food stuffs
