Not A Bad Friday

No caption necessary

1) Cute dog pictures on Reddit

There are 60 or 70 pictures, here’s a few more:

“N-ope, I don’t think so…”

Wait for it…. you’ll “get” it…

2) Brazilian doctor charged with killing 7 patients to free up Intensive Care Unit.

Not knowing where else to put this, I have a girlfriend from Penang who recently brought her mother over here for a second opinion after being treated for depression back home. The revelation of an error in the original prescription was horrifying and in the wake of my naturally furious friend saying to spread the word, if you are worried this might be happening to someone close to you, drop me an email.

The Buzz

3) Buzz Bissinger’s shopping addiction. It wasn’t LV, it wasn’t Dior…. Gucci must be secretly thrilled at all the extra publicity. What I want to know is how this guy has USD 600,000 to spend on clothes in over 2 years.

5) Science is Awesome and I F*ing Love Science are run by a woman. Shock! Horror! Happiness In Geekland!

Linked by someone who is neither awesome, particularly thinks science is awesome or particularly “f*ing loves science”, but is mildly amused because years ago she had a pretty strict (without seeming to be) dress code for herself because she knew she would be judged and have credibility problems especially at the times when she found herself the ranking derivatives dealer and occasionally only female. She may then have gone overboard (just a tad) with the pants and work shirts and very short haircut, until a well-meaning RM suggested a little more effort be put into not being seen as “butch” and this entire paragraph is all manner of sexism including when Kings had me grow my hair long the moment I quit.

6) So are we very surprised President Obama picked the first woman Head of Secret Service? Part of it being a shake up image change following the prostitution scandal that rocked the agency.

Erm, it’s great women are continuing to go places (is there any un-horribly sexist way to say these things)? What I want to know is why no one thinks women might also indulge in male prostitutes? See? Sexist again.

Lemme try that again: They picked her because she was the best person for the job. There. Hope I got it right this time.

Q: What if you want to get off halfway?

7) This one’s a picture of a waterslide in Germany, part of a bunch of em commemorating World Water Day 2013.

Do you see fun, when you see that slide? What I see is Wow There’s A Ride My Elder One Will Never Get On. Rockstar….. has to be able to measure the depth of the landing pool and consider all possible outcomes that could possibly end in him not landing on his feet before he gets on.

This one? His major thought will be What If I Want To Get Off Halfway? Which will likely end in him stopping right in the middle and refusing to slide on because he wants to get off halfway. Mine will be What If I’m Stuck On This Thing With The Child Who Wants To Get Off Halfway? Seriously, there is like, no visible way to extract Children Who Want To Get Off Halfway. How do they do it?

8) From that child, to The Child Who Will Be All What If I Don’t Want This Ride To End?

The Child Who Will Be All What If I Don’t Want This Ride To End (Featuring Rockstar’s forearm; NOW what are they up to? Stay tuned…)

And it’s almost the weekend………
