Don't blame me. Blame Alanis. She's the one who put the image in my head. It's not my fault I can't understand Canadian...

In fact, in a conversation 4 days ago, I was using that line as the ONLY example of irony in the song...

Headlights and speed traps
 

Um, sorry. Penske is the irony freak, not me. Thanks for playing, though.

On a brighter note, I found the Beckett lines:

VLADIMIR:
(Silence. Estragon looks attentively at the tree.) What do we do now?
ESTRAGON:
Wait.
VLADIMIR:
Yes, but while waiting.
ESTRAGON:
What about hanging ourselves?
VLADIMIR:
Hmm. It'd give us an erection.
ESTRAGON:
(highly excited). An erection!
VLADIMIR:
With all that follows. Where it falls mandrakes grow. That's why they shriek when you pull them up. Did you not know that?
ESTRAGON:
Let's hang ourselves immediately!

This would be disturbing even if it wasn't Ted Williams:

SI Report: Williams' body decapitated; DNA missing
By Associated Press, 8/12/2003

Ted Williams was decapitated by surgeons at the cryonics company where his body is suspended in liquid nitrogen, and several samples of his DNA are missing, Sports Illustrated reported.
...
After Williams died July 5, 2002, his body was taken by private jet to the company in Scottsdale, Ariz. There, Williams' body was separated from his head in a procedure called neuroseparation, according to the magazine.

The operation was completed and Williams' head and body were preserved separately. The head is stored in a steel can filled with liquid nitrogen. It has been shaved, drilled with holes and accidentally cracked 10 times, the magazine said. Williams' body stands upright in a 9-foot tall cylindrical steel tank, also filled with liquid nitrogen.

So why seperate the head from the body in the first place? Anyone think that these people have more than 67 cats?

New Poll
 

I have evaded the police.

On a tortuous, hilly road in my little town, he saw me coming in the opposite direction, flipped his lights on and pointed at me. I may have been doing 40 in a 35, but that's enough in our town. (It's like 5000 residents, so the police don't have very much to do.)

Rather than get into the right lane, knowing he needed to find somewhere to turn around, I drove another quarter mile and turned into a strip mall and hurried into a GNC while I waited for him.

I think I waited for weeks for him to pick me up, every time I drove down the main thoroughfare.

I accidently drove through the bus lane on the Bay Bridge once and didn't realize it until I was on the bridge having not had to go through any toll booths. For weeks afterwards, I had convinced myself that it was a matter of time before one of the cops on the bridge stopped me and ticketed me after showing me the video tape.

0 cats, down not too long ago from 1 cat (cf. conversation on the old board about euthanasia)

Cryogenics - Is it Science day on the FB?
 

Not that I've done any research into doing this for myself but... I thought they always severed the head when doing the cryogenic freezing? I think I saw this on one of those 20/20/dateline type shows.

Thank God! I was worrying there that I didn't have enough cats, but I didn't realize I could cover this way.
