Assorted Thoughts 11: I Will Post This Even Though Nobody May Ever Read It

• I believe my sanity is somewhere on the Island of Stability.  That is to say, it's theorized to exist, but despite a great deal of time, money, and nuclear reactors, has not yet been discovered and nobody knows if it ever will be.
• I very much enjoy shooting down "deep" questions, like "what is the meaning of life?", by recourse to basic biology.
• It's really quite amusing how every NHL team, regardless of how deep in America it is located, seems to have at least one Canadian on the broadcast team.  Do people really emigrate to Nashville to provide color commentary?
• Some people lose their days to Cracked linking to other Cracked articles.  I lose my time to Cracked's links to Wikipedia.  I'm now researching derelict satellites orbiting Earth.
• Oh dear gods, now it's on to spacecraft in general.  Somebody help me.  I cannot stop myself.
• Wow, I almost totally forgot to read the rest of the article that started all this.
• As I started my car to drive home from Safeway, the radio didn't immediately come on, and I wondered why I'd turned it off as I put the baseball game back on.  A few minutes later, a particularly obnoxious credit score ad came on the air.  "Ah, now I remember," I said, as I reached down to turn off the radio.
• I got a fortune cookie that said something along the lines of "You should be able to achieve anything you desire."  That's possibly the worst affirmation of all time.  It's like saying "It's theoretically possible you can tie your shoes!"  Well, thanks.  Could you be a bit more concrete about whether I can do things or not?
