From this term’s PDEng 225 final cumulative assignment marking rubric, under the description for a ‘strong’ response:
Explanations include more than one pieces of evidence to support perspectives
I’d have to give that explanation a grade of ‘weak/incomplete’, but then again, it’s never been the PDEng custom to reward good writing.
Bugzilla quips are really coming through for me today as quotes on my favourite topics. First computers, now religion.
Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

I found this quote in the Bugzilla quips at work. Brilliant.
If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer,
a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

Check this out. Google now allows anyone (with a Google account) to create their own custom search engine. You can make Google search only sites you specify, or you can give it some sites as a starting point and let it choose related sites to index into your search. This one’s for all (public) sites hosted on the White Raven Network. I think the White Raven Network Archives will use this as well as (or instead of) Drupal’s painfully slow search engine. If I combine it with Google’s AJAX Search API, that could be really slick, as well.
Sorry Drupal, I love you, but searching’s not your strongest suit.
