Some details I absolutely missed when the Jack, Locke and Sawyer encountered Zeke. Man I would have been pouring out questions if I were Jack! “Where is this island?” “Keep the island! How do we get off?” and so forth.

White House: DOJ Request For Google Data Is ‘Narrow’ January 20, 2006 12:16 pm

Today’s headline regarding Bush’s realization of Orwell’s world:
“White House: DOJ Request For Google Data Is ‘Narrow’”

You know… “Narrow” like a wedge is narrow on one end. Remember, the goal here is to censor the Internet on the premise that we are fighting child pornography. So far the government’s approach online has been to scare people in the pornography industry (or anything that might have to do with nudity) into self-policing but that would be like scaring Borders into not selling any books that show a baby’s butt (most parenting books and magazines) for fear of prosecution.

I had fun with this test. Got 16 17 18 19 20 out of 33 (without cheating) before I had to give up and get back to work. I think I can get to 19. Is this really a mensa test? I don’t know. But it is fun!

According to MENSA, if you get 19 + of these, you are a “genius”.
Only 2 MENSA members achieved full marks. See how well you do.

It looks like a good day for a meltdown said the ice cube to the sun.
