The most entertaining trial ever

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I don’t know if it’s actually the most entertaining trial ever, but it’s certainly the most entertaining one I’ve ever read about. And that’s saying something, because I seem to remember a certain trial scene in a book by Douglas Adams…

Signs you may be a Geek parent

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Philangelus has posted 25 signs you may be a geek parent. I thought they were good enough to quote.

Signs That You Are A Geek Parent

How many of the following have actually happened in your household?

No, really — be honest. Go through the list and don’t fudge.

1) Your one-year-old makes the Mac startup sound when waking from a nap.
2) You switched to cloth diapers “to see what that washing machine can really do!”
3) Your three-year-old sees a pack of playing cards and exclaims, “What a pretty iPod!”
4) Your seven-year-old is stunned that you can play solitaire with that pack of cards.
5) The baby coos happily for the Nazgul but stares in confusion at Barney or Elmo.
6) Not knowing an answer, your seven-year-old says “No report.”
7) Your three-year-old asks you to “pause the book.”
8 ) When the baby poops, your husband tells you she’s “completed a download.”
9) Your child pushes a knot in the woodgrain and is surprised the kitchen table doesn’t play music.
10) There are so many light-up toys that your house is visible from space.
11) Your nine-year-old is familiar with Minesweeper, Snood and the Macigame, but has never played checkers.
12) Your oldest gets frightened when he makes a mistake because “Mom might put that on her weblog!”
13) You accidentally refer to one of your children by his internet handle when talking to a real-life friend.
14) Half the people your family prays for are online friends. It is perfectly normal to pray for “SingingCrystal99? or “that woman on EtiquetteHell.”
15) Your oldest thinks all research starts at Wikipedia.
16) Your youngest knows in detail how to clean a CD or a DVD but has no idea that dirty plastic cups go in the sink.
17) The youngest child can’t zipper his jacket and tells you, “It crashed!”
18) Your children all speak LOLcat as a second language.
19) So many of your purchases come from online stores that the kids think the mailman is Santa Claus.
20) Your children recognize and can sing several anime theme songs.
21) You child was able to recite the opening monologue to ST:TNG before she was 14 months old.
22) Her godmother’s child, at the same age, was in love with Mr. Spock.
23) Your son can recite pi to the 34th digit but isn’t sure how many kids are in his class.
24) Your children can hold a reasonable discussion about five reasons we need a manned mission to Mars, but don’t remember which city has the Red Sox.
25) You don’t call it graduation: you call it an upgrade!
