Hey,

So in a world with Superman and other incredibly powerful superheroes who do general rescue work along with stopping crime, are people more foolish? If you have a reasonable suspicion that if you get in a jam a magical man will show up to save you, do you take bigger chances hoping for a bigger payoff?

And I figure your general visibility must coincide with your willingness to gamble on a super-rescue. If your dangerous failures make it to the general news, that must mean a greater chance for a hero to hear about it and come to your aid. So maybe you only take big chances if it would make big news on success or failure.

This is what got me thinking about all this:

Hey,

It's a big step up from prepositions:

...'cause I'm the God-Damn Pope!

When cardinals are trapped in long, boring meetings, I wonder if they ever doodle their "Pope Name" in the margins of their notebooks?

Hey,

So I was introduced to this over the weekend:

Hey,

Stop whatever you're doing and watch this video. Pure, unadulterated, joy and laughter:

You're welcome
Tom

Hey,

A bit long, but an awesome display of ADD guitar playing:

whee!
Tom

Hey,

This is easily the greatest thing I've seen all weekend on the Internet:

Seriously, it starts out with an instrument you'd associate with a Lovecraftian cult and when you reach the dancing...it only gets amazing.

Also -- bonus surprise near the end!

Hey,

I...I don't care if she is a frackin' Cylon...

Call me!
Tom

...you'll love this.

I dunno, I was charmed:
