“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

C+= – the feminist programming language

If you are at least somewhat conversant with a modern programming language- and in particular with C++, Java, or C#- then you’ll have some idea what I’m talking about when I say that this is quite possibly the funniest damn thing you’ve seen so...

The Law of the Jungle by Rudyard Kipling

I must have first read The Jungle Book when I was maybe five or six. I’ve loved it ever since. This is one of my personal favourite parts of the Second Jungle Book- the exposition of the Law of the Jungle. Reading it is a very good reminder as to precisely what...

Ghost Rider

In 1998, Neil Peart, the greatest goddamn drummer of all ti- er, I mean, the drummer and lyricist of RUSH, lost his daughter in a freak accident as she was driving to college. Shortly after that, he lost his wife to cancer, though he maintained that she died from a...

Another year goes by. And as usual, one is left to wonder where the hell the time went. Didn’t seem like all that long ago that I was just starting out with this place. It’s been challenging, it’s been fun, it’s often been cathartic, and...

The secret origin of President Jackass

The s***storm of stupidity that is Obarmy actually makes complete sense now: And now for something completely different: Hot Asian chick with a sniper rifle. You’re welcome. Hey, Obarmy annoys me. Nothing better to cleanse the palate after dealing with something...

Enough already with the Strong Female Lead

Doubtless some (if not most) of you have already seen The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug by now. I saw it a couple of nights ago. Judged in isolation, I suppose it was a decent enough movie- at least 30 minutes too long, somewhat pretentious, a bit too far up...

Settling an age-old debate…

At last, the answer to one of the most challenging questions of all time- one that has challenged the greatest minds, the most erudite philosophers, the most skilled rhetoricians with its sheer importance! Batman IS better than Superman! (Hell, I didn’t need...

“Maw, fetch mah huntin’ rifle…”

Can someone please explain the appeal of this idiotic new phenomenon to me? Yes, you saw that right- reindeer antlers and big stupid red nose ON A FREAKIN’ CAR. I’m all in favour of Christmas spirit, but this is going a bit bloody far. I’ve been...

Happy Christmas

From the Gospel of Luke: Mary’s Song  And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has...
