Dante Hall going to run back another one this weekend?

W-I'd be stupid to bet against it
 
tkurcno. them packers have too much hair to get tangled in
tkurcand its at slow lambeau
 
W-That almost rhymes
W-Yay English, where ow = eau
 
tkurcit DOES rhyme
tkurcacually, the "eau" is french
tkurcin fact, eau means WATER
 
W-Hmm, you're right... the proper thing to say is "Stupid America"
W-Nevertheless, Dante Hall does not obey physics or penalties
W-Also, the people talking about Dante Hall as the MVP are idiots
 
tkurchair.. he must obey
tkurcyeah, they forgot about stephen davis
 
W-To decide the MVP, they should just see who is drafted the highest over all of the fantasy drafts
 
tkurcI think Ricky Williams may have that honor
 
W-If you had an end-of-season fantasy league
W-Or, rather, take the highest fantasy scoring player, thats the idea... since in theory, an end-of-season fantasy draft would draft the player who had the most fantasy points that season.

CNN's Latest Election Results

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-07 19:54:55 [#543]
W-The question now is who will finish last out of 130+ candidates
W-Pawlik and Lewis are the early winners for losing
W-With 8% of precincts reporting, we are calling Todd Lewis the losingest loser of this election.
W-Och that might have been premature...
W-We'll declare for sure in the morning
W-No, the call was correct! Lewis got just 166 votes. Forte was runner up to loser with 188.
W-Interestingly, one of Arnold's top campaign promises was to revive the Bay Area and Silicon Valley economies, but in Santa Clara county (where Silicon Valley resides), the majority voted No on the recall, and more voted for Bustamante than for Schwarzenegger. Basically, we don't want your help, you monster.

Hilarious commercial statistics

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-07 01:27:16 [#542]
W-Carl's Jr. commercial
W-For those who don't know, they're a fast food chain, burgers & fries
W-The commercial's narration: "Some guys eat 5 burgers a week. Thats 11,000 burgers in a lifetime. You may want to pace yourself."
W-5 burgers a week, at 52 weeks a year = 260 burgers per year
W-11,000 burgers per lifetime divided by 260 burgers per year = 42 years per lifetime
W-Basically, their burgers kill you.
W-... However, if you care to assume you eat zero burgers until you're 18 and you eat zero burgers after you're 60, then their statistics don't really demonstrate burger lethality. But they didn't really state all their assumptions up front, so I remain in a state of hilarity.
W-I have to be inducted into the Total Dork Hall of Fame, I swear to you.
W-First ballot, no doubt.

How do Yahoo photos become "most viewed" ?

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-06 23:50:41 [#540]
W-When all photos are posted they have zero views
W-Then someone views one of the zeroes
W-That photo is now the most viewed
W-Then people follow the most viewed link
W-Basically, is it randomly determined by the behavior of the earliest visitors?
 
tkurcthere are pages other than the most viewed with pictures
tkurclike "Entertainment Photos"
 
W-Those are a small select set... so basically the candidate set from which the Most viewed come from are picked by someone?
 
tkurcso either they go by "page views"
tkurcor link follows
tkurcif they were smart, they would count links that come from !most viewed
 
W-I just find the idea of going from thousands of photos a day to a selecting consistently good photos by a purely peer-based self-motivated method to be very interesting
W-And doing it without their consent
W-Or at least, their active participation
 
tkurci concur
 
W-Elections should be held that way
W-Oh wait

Wacky British scientists

posted by (tkurc) on 2003-10-06 23:45:09 [#539]
tkurcIn a bite-sized sandwich using pre-sliced white bread lightly buttered with margarine, a slice of cheddar needs to be at least 2.8 mm thick, the study found.
 
W-If its subjective, its not science.
 
tkurcsomeone was telling me that "if its judged, its not a sport"
 
W-This man is not a scientist; he is a cheese aficionado.
 
tkurc Tests done on the contribution of tomato and pickle found that tomatoes boosted the cheesiness flavour whereas pickles did not
 
W-I also love the scientific accuracy juxtaposition of "lightly buttered" and "2.8mm thick"
W-Serious problem with significant digits there.
 
tkurcI didn't think the brits were down with metric
 
W-Fantastic point.
W-There's also a major inconsistency in this where it says he was commissioned to study maximizing aroma, and then later talking about how they could boost flavor. Those are not synonyms.
 
tkurcwell, in all fairness its a summary of the study
tkurcmaybe its a corollary

Little thought experiment

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-06 22:44:46 [#537]
W-Black holes have enough gravity to pull in light
W-Surely for some gravity < x, this is not true
W-So, what if a black hole had gravity exactly equal to x
W-What happens when its x + 0.00001 and x - 0.00001 ?
 
tkurcdabbling in astrophysics now, warren?
tkurcI think when you are that close to being a black hole, you just become one
tkurcbut that begs the question, how close is "that close"
 
W-As a space systems engineer there's something forbidding me from pondering astrophysics? Or is my intellect not keen enough?
W-And whether the question is how far away, or how great the gravity is, my issue remains: What happens when you're exactly equal to that value
W-Would like just gather up in a tidepool?
 
tkurcconsidering you enjoy science fiction, it makes sense that would enjoy astrophysics
 
W-Or at x + 0.000001, would light just inch along very very slowly, just barely making progress?
 
tkurcbut at x, gravity would just pull more matter in
 
W-After a bit, yes
 
tkurcso there is just a tiny instant when you are equal to n
tkurcer, x
tkurcwhich is why I say x - 0.00001 = x
 
W-What if you placed three black holes at distance (or gravity magnitude) x, equidistant and equispaced, around a light bulb, and turned it on
 
tkurcthe black holes would smash into one another
 
W-Fantastic
W-Thats like the John Madden explanation of cosmology
W-"They go boom!"
 
tkurcnow if you have 3 black holes orbiting each other...
 
W-On the idea of whether or not its a magnitude of gravity or a distance at which point you're inescapable, I know that for an atmosphere-less planetary body, light can pass infinitely close and not get drawn in, which means there is some value of gravity, x, for which light does not escape during an infinitely close pass to the body
W-I just find that boundary situations with black holes to be immensely interesting
 
tkurcbut you're never going to have a black hole operating in a vacuum
 
W-Same with Dyson's Spheres, but I'll talk about those another day
 
tkurcbecause black holes are surrounded by matter, there is no "black hole == anything"
 
W-I'm more interested in the theory than the practical examples in this situation
 
tkurcfair enough
 
W-Interesting, barely related, Googlefight

W-"Their posessions have been 3 plays and punt, a 4 plays and punt, then a 5 plays and punt
W-I'd love to understand what a combination of four plays in a series results in a punt to end the series
 
tkurc1st play: 1st down. 2nd-3rd-4th plays then punt
 
W-Och
W-I am stupid
 
tkurcyeah, I sure thought so
 
W-I should hide this thread
 
tkurcI thought you would catch it before I was able to describe it in a meaningful manner
 
W-I had a long day and my central nervous system isn't working
 
tkurcfaulty medula oblongata
 
W-Yes, its not oblong. Its circular.
 
tkurcI'm sure that there is some penis joke I could make at this point
 
W-I guess I was mainly confused because I was unable to understand how Manning could get a first down
W-Frankly, I believe its possible to make a penis joke at all points. The loci is infinitely wide and infinitely dense.
 
tkurcI can't watch this game. Manning angers me. So much chicken dancing. So much play clock wasting.

ESPN.com: GEN - Prep schooler kicks 62-yard extra point

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-04 23:04:22 [#530]
W-Following the TD return, Rosenbaum and his teammates drew 15-yard penalties for excessive celebration, unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting. That put the ball at the 45 for the point-after, and Rosenbaum split the uprights in the third quarter to highlight Wilson High School's 41-0 victory over Spingarn on Friday night.
W-Oddly, Rosenbaum's longest field goal is only 27 yards, kicked last week. He will attend Virginia next year on a soccer scholarship.
W-Nothing Tony couldn't do.
 
tkurc62... I could probably kick that with a low probability
tkurcI have kicked a soccer ball in the air that far

My Theory: Overtime In Any Sport Is Compelling

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-04 22:40:50 [#529]
tkurcyou ever watch college football overtime?
 
W-I can't stand watching a baseball or hockey game, but if its in overtime, I can enjoy it
 
tkurcI can't watch college football overtime. it takes FOREVER
 
W-Interesting note: the motorsports lack overtimes...
W-Golf overtime is interesting as well
W-The whole do-or-die concept entertains me greatly
 
tkurcwhich is why college football OT sucks so much
 
W-Best part about baseball overtimes: running out of pitchers
 
tkurcin the postseason, they'll play starters if need be
tkurcbut then, you have the intrigue of a starter with a reliever's warmup
 
W-I need a way for my TiVo to record all the overtimes :)
W-So if you stumble upon a college football game that's gone into overtime, you aren't interested in seeing the result?
 
tkurcno. I immediately change the channel. I seriously cannot stand it
 
W-Your psychological quirks are unending
 
tkurcits "who makes the first mistake" versus "who can do it better"
 
W-Another great thing about overtimes: Seeing the fans who want to go home because its really really late, but can't because its such a compelling end of the game

NFL First-Quarter Picks

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-04 17:08:09 [#526]
W-This time last year, I predicted the Oakland/Tampa Bay Super Bowl... time for this year's edition
W-NFC: Odd set of contenders: Minnesota, Seattle, Carolina and Tampa Bay looking the strongest
W-the NFC East is a crapshoot
W-AFC: Kansas City is the obvious winner here
W-I don't think either Denver of Indianapolis can avoid the injuries or sucky QB action to make it far
W-So for the NFC, Minnesota has the easiest path to the playoffs, having such a wimpy division
W-Don't know if they have what it takes to make it deep into the playoffs
W-I don't think Carolina can keep it up
W-Seattle would just be too weird
W-I think the key factor this year in the NFL is being able, and willing, to run the ball a lot
W-ok here it goes:
W-Kansas City over Minnesota is my first-quarter super bowl pick
W-I think Tampa Bay will look better but just barely lose a playoff game
W-Miami will fade as usual
W-Tennessee will suffer injuries as usual
W-For reference, my pre-season pick was Tampa Bay and Miami
W-Buffalo coudl still surprise, but I think they'll split their division games
 
tkurcI predict it won't be BEARS vs. BENGALS
 
W-I'll bet $10,000 its not Bears Vs. Lions :) hehehehe
 
tkurcyeah, the chances of 2 NFC teams is low
 
W-Especially two bad teams from one division
 
tkurcbarring injury, MIAMI looks pretty good
tkurcNFC is so cloudy... maybe it'll be the Redskins
 
W-I'd rather let Shaq.... ahem before Spurrier gets in the Super Bowl in his 2nd year
 
tkurcIt'll probably be Tampa
tkurcI think the Vikings could do it if they manage a first round bye
 
W-They got great line play and are willing to run the ball
W-And if they get behind, they can muster a mighty passing game
 
tkurchow well do they do if Moss goes down?
 
W-Moss ain't going down, he's a fucking noodle... he's never been hurt
 
tkurcIt hurt my feelings when the Lions took Pinner instead of Onterrio Smith
tkurcI would have taken Suggs or Smith over Pinner
tkurcmy preseason picks have had serious injury problems.
tkurcBroncos over Rams could still happen!
 
W-Yes, they have not been mathematically eliminated yet...
W-Jake Plummer CANNOT win, its ridiculous
 
tkurcThey said the same thing about DILFER
 
W-But at least Dilfer is a man
W-Plummer is a whiny little boy with a learning disability
 
tkurcDenver's Linebackers are X-Tra fast
tkurcgood special teams
 
W-J A K E P L U M M E R I S H O R R I B L E

tkurcI think they made a lot of those "Shaggy Dog" movies
 
W-For completeness... Beethoven 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
W-Is there any movie series that has more sequels than Star Trek?
W-I guess if Star Trek 10 counts, do you have to count all James Bond movies as "sequels" ?
 
tkurcFriday the 13th had a lot. So did Halloween and puppet master
 
W-Now the James Bond/Star Trek sequel debate is one to have the next time you get around with all your dork friends and act like you're cool and drunk.
 
tkurcyou looking in Foiba's direction?
 
W-Omnidirectional.
 
FoibaTrek never went to ten movies. There were six for TOS and four for TNG
Foibaand technically the Friday the 13th series went to 9 movies. "Jason X" is a new series
Foibaeven then, the original Friday the 13th saga ended with part IV, so that can be considered a series unto itself
FoibaV through IX just kinda happened when people weren't watching
Foibayeah, "Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan" more like, "Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Wants to Take Manhattan but the Budget is Restricting So He Spends Most of the Movie on a Boat. He Kills a Bum in Manhattan in Like the Last Five Minutes"
 
W-Bond, James Bond?
 
Foibayou really have to consider each Bond actor as his own series
Foibalike Dalton took the series back to its gritty nature, especially after Roger Moore
Foibathe Roger Moore series of Bond movies got ridiculous
 
W-So how many Batman movies were there then?
 
FoibaBatman's the movie that proves my point. There's been six "Batman" "movies," one was from the 30s, one from the 60s and then the four recent ones from the 90s
Foibanot to mention the animated movies that went straight to video

Tony's comparison of PS2 Madden 2004 vs GC NCAA 2004

posted by (tkurc) on 2003-09-28 11:08:30 [#516]
tkurcSome notes: Madden 2004 for PS2 is at most half as good as NCAA 2004 for gamecube.
tkurcNCAA has much better animations. Smoother and more realistic
tkurcMadden has madden. VERY annoying
tkurcNCAA's dynasty mode is at least as good as Madden's franchise
tkurcNCAA's AI is better
tkurcIt is very possible to run the ball in NCAA (you can run the option AND run up the middle)
tkurcit seems that the best play in madden is the bomb to Randy Moss. Viking are hence the best team in the game
tkurcmusic is better in NCAA. College fight songs versus some very BAD rap
tkurcand its not like I don't like rap!
tkurcloading times are not noticable on GC. they are very tedious on PS2
tkurcthe difference is smoothness of gameplay is not even fair. PS2 is soooooo choppy. GC is silky smooth.
tkurcthe PS2 does have 4 shoulder buttons. ease of stiffarm is helpful
tkurcnetwork gameplay in Madden is nice
tkurcin conclusion, if they made NCAA 2004 for Gamecube network playable, it would be the best game EVER
tkurcthe feature that madden (and all pro games with a draft needs) is better draft pick trading
tkurcthe way the draft works is you target a player (or some players)
tkurc(i mean in real life)
tkurcand you can trade up or down to get that player, seeing how the board plays out
tkurcin madden, you have your draft slots, and the computer picks until it gets to your slot
tkurcwhat I would like to see is a more interactive draft, where you can slow down the draft, offer trades, and so on

I got a yellow card playing soccer yesterday

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-09-25 00:06:59 [#513]
tkurc|homeI asked the ref why I got it, since I was quite surprised
tkurc|homehis response, "You're a big guy, you could hurt someone!"
tkurc|homemy response, "being big is no reason for a yellow card"
 
W-That could be the opening line to a porno.
W-The ref's line, that is.
 
tkurc|homehis response, "oh, yes it is!"
tkurc|homesoccer porn?
 
W-There's another kind?!
 
tkurc|homethat GOOOOOOOOAL guy would be an interesting porn announcer
 
W-He's got an "O-face", I assure you.
 
tkurc|homeyou can do better that that!
tkurc|home..
tkurc|home..
tkurc|home..
 
W-Unfortunately, its difficult to riff off of such a horribly flawed premise. Since when does porn have announcers?
W-Thats some fucked up shit right there.
 
tkurc|homewas that last comment faux porn announcing?
 
W-No, it was an observation about how insane porn with announcers would be.
 
tkurc|homeinsane good, or insane bad?
 
W-Insane atrocity
 
tkurc|homeah, insane clown posse bad
 
W-What part of porn is so complex you need another human to explain it to you play-by-play?
 
tkurc|homethe second part
 
W-<wink>
 
tkurc|homeI think the word bad should be replaced with this picture
 
W-I'm starting to think the idea of exceedingly complex porn intrigues me
W-We need a transcendent artist to take us to a new level, an MC Escher of Porn
 
tkurc|homelike porn that continues to infinity?
 
W-and porn that is geometrically impossible in a euclidean universe
 
tkurc|homeI thought we lived in a Newtonian universe
 
W-Physics are Newtonian, but the Geometry is Euclidean
 
tkurc|homeso we live in 2 universes?
 
W-We live in one universe, but it has many proper name adjectives
 
tkurc|homein any case, I wasn't able to talk my way out of the yellow card
 
W-Perhaps if your penis could behave like a klein bottle with enthusiastic Spanish announcement in an alternate universe portrayed by a transcendental artist, then you could get out of your yellow card!
 
tkurc|homewhy didn't I think of that?

There is a need for more Suzy Kolber on the web

posted by (W-) on 2003-09-23 23:27:40 [#511]
W-If this was 4 years ago, I think we could pitch that business plan and get some venture capital
W-Time machine?
 
tkurcshoot, we could get venture capital for wacky website logo design
 
W-I'd like to try and get some capital for something related to "1000 nintendo Characters Babies 2004"
 
tkurcyou know, that sounds like a more solid business plan that pets.com
 
W-In the sexy battle between Suzy Kolber and Alex Flanagan, Suzy is the winner, but there is no nude
 
tkurcI'll invest $40
 
W-I could photoshop a nude for $40!

tkurcnote to future leagues... PLURALS SELL!
 
W-So do things that are tangible
W-Or can be easily drawn in a game of Pictionary
 
tkurclike ET for Atari?
 
W-"Courage" and "Beat" ... not so much drawable
 
tkurcdrawing a Packer is just so WRONG
 
W-Psh
W-Depends on what he's packing
W-packing 'cheese' into a 'box' isn't so despicable, is it?
 
tkurcsee, draw that, and someone ain't guessing that on the first try
 
W-Quicker than they'd guess 'Spirit' or 'Freedom'
 
tkurcor was I missing some metaphor with cheese and box?
 
W-Nothing says 'Freedom' like a man packing cheese into a box
 
tkurcwhat about a man packing cheese into two boxes?
 
W-Well now thats just questionable labor practices!
 
tkurcanother sign your league will fail: too many teams for which OPERATION IRAQI <insert name here> seems like a reasonable name for a war-like initiative
 
W-If you can't go as it for Halloween, its probably a bad team name
 
tkurcif i recall correctly, warren went dressed as a brown just last year

posted by (W-) on 2003-09-23 22:29:24 [#507]
W-Thats not good for business
 
tkurcapparently he would have needed to break even more to be considered injured
 
W-Why can't that happen to Manning?
W-Preferrably, all of them!
 
tkurcVanderjagt voodoo curse side effect. Manning will never be injured.

Brilliant Idea for a Simple Invention

posted by (W-) on 2003-09-21 22:28:34 [#501]
W-So my phone is one of those fancy electronic jobbies, so instead of a metal-on-metal real bell ringer, its one of those electronic noises
W-Much less audible
W-I'd prefer a nice metal bell
W-So you add a metal bell in between the phone jack and the phone... it sits on the line in-between, intecepts the ring signal, and rings like a sonofabitch
 
tkurc|homei think a device that deploys a stop sign at a traffic light when power goes out would be a good invention
 
W-I'd imagine this could sell decently on the late-night TV-ad circuit, considering its simplicity
W-For all you aspiring young electrical engineers who want to use this for some quick cash, leave a web comment and I'll hook you up :)
 
tkurc|homemine could be sold in cities after disasters strike
