Well now seems like we have a hot peppered pickle here now don't we...

Assignment #3
An impolite response to http://iamshane.com/2009/05/09/of-atms-iphones-and-911/

As I read about the vegen atheist known as Shane Becker, I decided that although he may not have had malicious intentions he was however brash, condescending, and (for lack of a better term) disrespectful.
I am in no way saying that Mr. Becker doesn't bring up valid points on the matters of corrupt corporate and societal flaws and policies. I am merely trying to correlate that as a member of a community one shows support of said community by frivolously spending monies in a favored establishment and further if one does not wish to abide societies and corporate policies and bylaws then perhaps they shouldn't:
A) Complain to the establishment in turn making matters worse for themselves. Or,
B) Disrespect persons of authority whilst they work by way of perpetuating the altercation to begin with. Or even,
C) Try to force their way of thinking and or opinions AND then get upset because everybody doesn't agree with your Point of View, thats why there is a such a thing as an atheist(for example) in the first place.

So just as much as Mr. Becker has rights so does Loomis and REI. So who really is at fault? Personally I blame capitalism and corporate greed. C'est le Ve.

Assignment 8

I find Google to be more user friendly, like most people I go with what I know... but wolfram seems to work well enough. Both engines have there own idiosyncrasies. Wolfram is a bit more straightforward and I will use it in conjunction with Google to make a more informed synopsis.

1. All english words containing the letters "eue"

12 words found.

a. banlieue
b. banlieues
c. feued
d. queue
e. queued
f. queueing
g. queueings
h. queuer
i. queuers
j. queues
k. subfeued
l. unfeued

according to wordnavigator.com/contains/eue/, results for all english words containing "eue". Wolframalpha unable to compute question.

2. How much potassium in 4.7 oz of banana?

477 mg.

Both engines turned up results, although Wolfram showed no irrelevant info as Google did.

3. How old was Barack Obama on the day you were born?

Wolfram was more accurate on this one...Google has a copius amount of results and I did not want to search through to find the results that I am almost certain were there.

He was 19 yrs 11 mo. 4 days old the day I was born.



4. Date and time of the next total solar eclipse in Eugene?

I wonder if I will remember to look up in the sky at 11:25 PDT, Monday, August 21, 2017.

Both engines delivered accurate results.

5. What is the minimum and maximum price of google stock since it went public?

Wolfram could not churn up any results for a minimum figure. Google's initial price $85. The both agreed with the stock high of $741.79.

Watch out... that's all I keep saying.

The internet in all of its glory is like a pivotal universal highway truckstop complete with pasty pink urinal pucks.

Free Gun?

Everybody everywhere is withering their lives away wastefully on the wantons of the necessity of needlessly poking, prying, and prodding, reporting, covering, and exploiting of other people's lives... its just idiocracy in real life. Ow my Balls!

Maybe just maybe the humans will place in the top 3 in the big race?

And now for something completely different!
I do like to peruse sites of shocking and tasteless plaque like buildup on the enamel we call humanity... but I also like to maximize on the potential for converging multiple stones and birds
all the whilst remaining mostly full of almost witless wit.
FailBlog.org has been a humorous and copious source for spite and laughter. One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish.
Cheerio and all that, Pip Pip, there is no need for any of that noise there then now is there?

Check it out!

I can respect the countless hours athletes of this caliber put into not only their training but also what they sacrifice in order to achieve what seems unattainable to most. But these athletes serve as beacons of hope to the fledgling masses of martial arts... who one day hope to achieve a glimmer or shine to their respective discipline.
Its just sometimes even monkeys showoff.
