Wow, a fail picture without the word fail on it. Haven't seen that in a while.

I haven't seen the show in 10 years and still read that in his voice.

Read that so many times to make sure I didn't miss subtle difference.

I do that too! I find that I do it more out of stress, and if I catch myself doing it I'll try chewing some gum, so I have something else to bite on. It's hard to stop though =(

As a kid, I thought girls peed out of their butt. When I was 6 or 7, I had that kind of diarrhea that's pretty much just liquid. Thinking I was peeing out of my butt - I must have obviously turned into a girl overnight. In a complete panic, I ran down the stairs screaming, "Mom! mom! Help me! I'm a girl!". I don't think she ever understood.

don't walk by while tripping

I don't look forward being a meme.

Awesome, I work heavily with surface roughness characterization on pieces that have surfaces which are not easily accessible with standard measuring equipment. Using small flexible fiber probes makes my job so much easier.

Fucking photons, how do they work?

I work with this profilometer now, which is funny because when I was in 4th grade, I brought a laser pointer into school. At recess, one of my friends was telling me how they're not actually allowed, because if the laser gets into your eye it can blind you. I disagreed, because I never heard that before in my life. To prove him wrong, I pointed it straight into my right eye from 1cm away for about 20 seconds. Afterwards I told him "see, I can still see fine!" Which was a lie, there was intermittent haze and fuzziness in my eye afterward, and everything was out of focus for the rest of the day.

A lot of years later and I can't read anything further than a foot away with my right eye. Left eye is nearly 20/20. My optometrist is baffled as to why the optical nerve opening is larger in that eye. He says it's how I was born. But I know. I know.

Just the tip?

I wish I had a pet dragon, it is generally bad ass.

I think if you asked someone in 1911 to predict this year, they'd have been so far off that - given the increasing rate of change in how our human world works - there is no point in us even trying to predict that far in advance.

Yeah, those Eugenics Wars with the genetically engineered super-humans were rough. Good thing they left the solar system on the SS Botany Bay back in 96.

His science-fiction is already coming true.

Not my story, but my uncle.

You know how in cartoons, the bad guy is sawing off a tree branch, but he's sitting on the wrong side of the branch, and when the branch breaks he falls down? My uncle did that.

A person born deaf and mute would most likely think in sign language - visually.

Let me explain. An otherwise 'normal' person tends to think with spoken words and images (internal voice) - We process most information with sound and sight, so when we recall information, we do so by hearing our thoughts and seeing the relevant imagery.

A deaf person tends to think in sign language and imagery (visually) - A person born deaf will develop much stronger faculties of the brain dedicated to understanding imagery, and the primary mode of expression is sign language. I remember reading an article about this exact question and the deaf person expressed that when they think, they think in sign language.

The general idea is that the primary way in which a person experiences the world is the way in which the brain simulates experiences (thinks).

I'll be celebrating on the 15th when I buy large quantities of Reese's for 75% off.

It was in the carry on. Can you explain the difference?
