The essense of the problem is one of detection. There is a whole area of signal processing called SIGNAL DETECTION THEORY. Its an interesting course. I took it from Doug Cochran as ASU. So how do you pick fly shit out of black pepper? You can not do it. The joke infers that the 2 things are identical. Being indentical they can not be discerned. So stop worrying. You won’t taste the difference.
The following is cut and paste from a comment about WIKIPEDIA Poster #1 Infuriating features of Wikipedia practices are: 1.The ease with which an article can be torpedoed by half wits. 2. Failure by Wikipedia to recognise the validity of a topic that only the writer has published and worked on in any depth, and by its archaic rules that disallow referring to one’s own work which provides detailed theory to be followed up. 3.The sheer bureacracy involved in submitting an article for it to be retained by the system. Poster #2 One of the principal problems with Wikipedia is its Read more…
I am atheist. COMPLETELY!!  Yet I get extremely tired of members of the press talking about religion versus evolution. In superior tones you can hear them pontificate that only a backwards bumpkin would aggitate for creationism to be taught in schools.  These are the same guys who push Man Made Global Warming (MMGW) every chance they get. I find this extremely ironic. They poo poo one religion shortly before pronouncing MMGW to be indisputable. They merely swap one article of faith for another and call it a day. I will convert to Islam before I believe the farce / hoax / Read more…
I was walking home from shipping a package and I notice a pretty girl walking between the main building of a pet shop supply store and a house next door. I was enjoying watching the best part of her as she walked when it appeared something hit her in the face. She screamed, ducked and ran for the door of the house.  I stopped, looked and wondered what had happened. Then I saw it. A butterfly the size of a baseball glove when fluttering by. It was huge. I starting laughing loudly and looked at the girl peeking out the door. Read more…
Emarketbrasil is a portuguese language free classified site. Its targeted at Brazil but since it gets most of its traffic from google search results any portuguese speaker in the world is likely to catch one of its pages. The Alexa distributions below shows this distribution. There is some obvious bias in the numbers due to Spanish speakers.  There is also obviously Alexas country bias. That said it shows a reasonable estimation of where Portuguese speaking people live.
I am totally athiest. That is the assumption of this article. Before the currency of the USA had natural and animistic beings and deities on it. Now they only have Caesar and his mausoleums. The photos in the left column show coins before 1925-ish. The photos in the right column show currency after 1925-ish. What does this say about our Democracy? About us? I think it says the people at the top of the power structure are more given to command / control society and they constantly push us in a Read more…
I was in Banco do Brasil waiting to pick up my automatic teller card. They do not have you stand in line when waiting for this non-teller type of assistance. The do not have you take a number either.  Thus you are stuck sitting there concentrating on who got there ahead of you. In walked a girl. She was not attractive. She was not wildly ugly.  However she just looked a little weird.  Somehow I knew that she was going to try to cut in the erstwhile waiting que. She had 2 books. I could see both were on astrology. In the set Read more…
 Spammers and Phishers use the fact you can send an email and make it look like it came from any email address. You can do this too if you if you want. However I like using it for humorous purposes such as when someone flames you for some nurdy geeky reason by sending you a nasty-gram email.  You can email them out of the blue from TERMS-OF-SERVICE.  Another application is the BAT LOW page to cell phone prank.  If you send a BAT LOW page to a friend and it comes from your email address then its not so effective.

The following events occurred between 1:20 and 1:35 pm, February 15,2001 After class today I felt a large movement coming on.  I wanted a chocolate muffin too so as I was near the MU I decided muffin first.  I got the muffin and then decided I really needed to go….but it just does not look right to take a poo while eating a chocolate muffin. I then calculated that I would get about to the bookstore by the time I finished the muffin and then duck in to use the banos ( bathroom). My calculations were inpecable as always. I tossed the Read more…
I have a friend who is the master of poop humor. Poop humor of all types. No one else I have ever known has shown the prowess with this genre that my friend Mark demonstrates. Yes he is the king. Thus in the vein of parodying several recent DrudgeReport news link outs I wrote this and sent it to him. You know you are in trouble when you are on the drudgereport…..                                                             Mark Von Fudgen indicted on Poop Porn Charges Claims to be able to tell the difference between male and female poop It was only Sorbet !!!!
