. . . maybe that would be a good idea? Why do you need to go to a dentist . . . ? All you need is a Black & Decker drill from Lowe's and a can of spacthel . . . right?

My teeth are kinda sorta important to me, and I would like for them to be handled by a professional.

Oh? Computer systems that are handling my money . . . ? Ditto!

I mean, a picture of a black woman or a white woman breast-feeding her baby wouldn't interest me.

A picture of a black woman or a white woman simultaneously breast-feeding both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton would interest me. That would be a hoot and a half.

Quotes from the romp . . .

"I did NOT suckle on that woman!"

"Who said anything about breast milk costing $4 a gallon?"

I've tried to offend both major political parties in the US with this post. I could try to also offend the Libertarians, Greens, or Tea Party folks . . . but there don't seem to be enough breasts to go around!

Yep! Porn is rather sexist, and still seems to do very good business on the Internet.

I could imagine that game developers might see this as a challenge . . . who can get the highest sexism score on their games?

When I look at the world today . . . I see Obama threatening to use dictatorial powers . . . which will cause the Republicans in Congress to shut the government down . . . while ISIS is making a mighty romp . . . and no Muslim countries seemed to be concerned about that . . . Putin, is, while just being Putin.

And, and and more and. I'm trying hard do decide why I am not committing suicide myself.

Oh, I need to teach a class at TU Darmstadt in a couple of weeks, and need to create a presentation. Never mind.

Well, I have heard of Hogsheads as a unit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...

But an ant's forehead . . . how many Libraries of Congress or size of Wales is that . . . ?

Maybe they meant "aunt" instead of "ant" . . . ? I don't know about youse guys, but if someone tried to print something in 3D on my aunt's forehead, they would be in for more trouble than they expected . . .

Actually, the cruel joke here is that the German rail drivers have been striking now. Which is an important lesson . . . if a train *can* go that fast . . . it doesn't mean anything if something else prevents it from doing that.

Also, serious info for serious Slashdotters here . . . the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, has a PhD in Physics. Can any other country boast a top political leader who has a STEM leader . . . ?

She has a tough job . . . a scientist turned politician! But that is the message here . . . it is not about technology, but politics.

I think that's great advice for anyone, no matter how old they are.

Remember, today is the last day of your life, so far!

Life, is a very dangerous adventure . . . no one has survived it yet!

I was hoping for Echo and the Bunnymen, actually. I guess the Bunnymen cost extra.

Imagine every battery replaced by a canister of jet fuel. It would be the Terrorist Industry's dream.

Well, when Clinton tells me that he did not have sex with Reagan . . . I'll believe him.

Yes, but you probably need to change the battery every few million years or so. That's where they will make their money . . . kinda sorta like printer cartridges or iPhone batteries.

You get the atomic clock cheap, but those extras cost you!

I read the print edition of The Economist, actually. It's an excellent source for deep analysis of the news.

For instance, rumors in Central America of the coming Obama amnesty are what drove the surge in illegal immigration this year in the first place. The Obama administration could have taken actions to quell these rumors . . . which would have stopped the surge . . . but they didn't.
