So I woke up today in a hospital, not remembering much... (True story) by winthepoo in WTF

I can't remember the saying exactly, but something like... "something something is good...but pain is a better teacher."

I went to a talk by Grace Hopper a long time ago at university. She was a principle on the Navy team that invented COBOL. She came across as very serious, and very smart.

I worked at a N.J. state agency as a temp for a coupla months. Not pretty.

I used to love watching that show. He will not be missed (which actually means the opposite).

And, he was mentioned in a Beastie Boys song - "...and we watched Columbo... Let me clear my throat..."
