No More Stinky Poo

My favorite thing about Facebook is "status changes", where my "friends" and I can write one-line sentences describing what we're doing, what mood we're in, etc. It's fun tracking people's one-sentence updates on life.

Here are current statuses of some of my friends:
Leah is doing okay.

Liz finds Palin's personal attacks off-putting.

Grant cares a lot.

Hannah is beating up the East Coast! No, wait, that's Hanna.

Pamela wishes that we could have fall, skip over winter, and go directly to spring.

Christopher is at a ten-day Vipassana meditation retreat.

Heather is waiting for banana muffins to come out of the oven.
I'm particularly fond of Leanne's version of the Liar Paradox:

Leanne is status-free.
Here are some of my recent statuses:
J. Michael is undergoing mitochondrial respiration.

J. Michael is chewing gum.

J. Michael hopes the Red Sox will win.

J. Michael has a sore foot.

J. Michael is extracting mouse brains.
Here's my status for today, making fun of the departing Republican National Convention that happened in my home town this past week:

J. Michael is trying to avoid the pall of noxious fumes still hovering in St. Paul.
Facebook also lets people comment on other people's statuses. Craig inveighed against my insensitivity:

You know, John McCain was *denied* the sweet smell of liberty for five years in service to this great nation. Where were you? You have no right to talk about his gases and odors.
In addition to updating my Facebook homepage, the comment also gets sent in an email to my Google mail account. What greatly amused me was the ads that Google placed next to the email, based on key words in Craig's comment (I swear I am not making this up):

Envirolet Cabin Toilet

Can You Cross Your Toes?

Katie and I had a heated discussion the night before last. We were sitting on the couch watching Jon Stewart when she noticed a large, apparently cancerous growth sticking out of the bottom of my foot. She asked what the big lump in my sock was. "That's my toe," I responded, nonplussed. I had crossed my first and second toes, causing a lump to protrude from the bottom of my sock. Katie was quite alarmed. "You can cross your toes?" "Sure, can't you? Everyone can cross their toes!" "Of course I can't cross my toes. Who can cross their toes?" And I confirmed that Katie could not, in fact, cross her toes. Even manipulating her toes with my fingers, I could not get her toes to stay crossed. She just has very short toes. That led, of course, into a discussion of who was the freak. Were my long, crossable toes abnormal, or were her stubby, uncrossable phalanges the outliers? In case you're confused, here are some pictures. First, of my v

Leagalize drugs!

The Economist has a wonderful editorial this week about legalizing drugs. I wholeheartedly agree that the world will be better off by far if the United States legalized, taxed, and regulated illicit drugs such as cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. The goods that will come from legalization: 1. We will save the $40 billion the US spends trying to eliminate the supply of drugs. 2. We will save the costs involved in incarcerating so many drug offenders (as well as gain their productivity in society). 3. We will gain money through taxation on the legal drug trade. 4. Legalized drugs will be regulated, and thus purer and safer to take. 5. With all these savings, we will have lots of money to spend on treating drug addiction as a public health issue rather than as a law and order issue. We will have lots of money to fund treatment programs for addicts that are ensnared by the easier availability of drugs. 6. We will prevent tens of thousands of killings in countries that produce drugs when proc

2017 Prognostication Quiz FINAL POST: Questions 10 and 11, Stocks and Quakes

In the last post , I pointed out that Matthew D. and I were in a two-way tie at the top of the leaderboard with me holding the edge over him in the tiebreaker. For Matthew D. to have a chance to come from behind and grab the win, some significant December movement would be needed in one of three areas: the stock market, world earthquakes, or a convenient death. Here's what happened: 10. Stocks (December 29) How will stocks do in this first year of Trumponomics? Will the Dow Jones Industrial Average be up or down compared to the final close of 2016? Which way will the Dow go? a. Up b. Down The Dow Jones continued to rise throughout the month. I maintained my advantage in the tie-breaker. 11. Earthquake (December 31) How many big earthquakes (magnitude 8.0 or larger on the Richter scale) will there be this year? (Big earthquake counts from this millennium are indicated in parentheses.) How many big earthquakes will there be this year? a. None (2) b. One (7) c. Two (4) d. Th
