Sometimes you have to be a little mad to make science progress... who would have believed that time was not a constant and could run at different rates depending on the physical conditions of space before Einstein went on with his relativity theory? Everyone just knew time was a constant, nothing could affect it.

You see? The universe itself is mad. How can science be otherwise and still...science?
Thomas Dolby just popped into my head. "Science!"
@Arvia , Your Oots excerpt there started driving me nuts trying to remember it after I stopped laughing, so I went straight to Google. Looks like between the two of them, Red Cloak and Xykon got it right, sort of, when you put what they both said together.
@BelgarathMTH, tsk tsk, how could you *not* remember? I'm disappointed... I can actually *hear* Yoda saying it...
Although maybe I shouldn't tell others that I hear Yoda's voice in my head.

Nahhh it just means you're in the right forum. We're all normal like that around here
Children's honesty is amazing, I love it. Even when it's used against me.
I got a haircut today (didn't have time for that in months). My son hates all kinds of sudden changes. I came home, he took one look at me, screamed "Gah! You look terrible!" and ran away.
I found an article in Popular Mechanics about a popular robotics video with the rather ominous title,
Boston Dynamics: New Robots Now Fight Back. It's actually kind of hilarious.

I saw this in the comics this morning and got a good chuckle out of it. This comic strip is usually just basic "Far Side" style wry humor about life, but it was a D&D joke this morning. I think it's cool when D&D becomes such a part of our culture that you can see jokes and satires that refer to it all over.
That reminds me that I saw a speedrun through the very first Prince of Persia game. And seeing the whole game so quickly made me realize how both the dungeon and the palace itself is this surreal, impractical nightmare, made by some deranged architect. Imagine trying to live in these places and having to keep track of the kids so they don't run into some spike trap. https://youtu.be/USv8OQbg73M
Had the rare opportunity to play a multiplayer game of IWD recently. Fellow forumite @Skatan and I rolled our characters and were all ready to go. We went to the taverns basement, ready to do some exterminating. I walk my character up to the closest beetle, and it immediately rolls a critical hit and kills me. What a way to start an adventure.

Hah! That's what happens to Xzar every time I think I might want to take him along this time...

Today, after an incredibly chaotic morning with the children, I left the house in a hurry at 7:10 to go to work. I had been driving for 5 minutes already, just staring at the road because I know the way, when I looked up and noticed that the trees looked a lot blurrier than usual.
I had forgotten my glasses!
Of course I had to turn around, call my boss and tell him I'd be late, and of course I told him why.
He seems to have told everyone, because I had to listen to silly remarks about it for the whole day. For example, a nurse told a patient: "She's going to stick an 8cm needle into your back. Be glad she went back to get her glasses!"

They even have the mandatory kill the rats in the cellar quest:

Mad, not mad, its all science. Who can distinguish?
Well, some of the mad ones do experiments...

I love John Turturro. It feels like it's been forever that I've been excited about a movie.

Nah, it's probably just a safe bet these days.
It recommends "cooking fever" to me. I guess it had a secret conversation with my husband.

My favorite part is when the whip came out.
I won't be surprised when they ACTUALLY fight back. Poor things suffer all kinds of abuse.
Put him in time out in his chair: "Whoah! I'm so high up! This is AMAZING!"
Put him in the corner: "Wow! Look at this corner! I could watch it for hours!"
Put him in bed: "Hey look! I can push my bed across the floor!"
Hah! That's what happens to Xzar every time I think I might want to take him along this time...
Gave me a very, very good (and loud) chuckle!
Good ol' Team Rocket. Blasting off since 1996.
