Being a nerd is hard work. Despite this, I give you top of the line humor every week! I do the work so you don’t have to.

Anyway, here’s an article:

Toxicology Report Writer Hates CSI

by Joel

August 18th, 2008

Dear Adam,

I recently read about the position for toxicology Report writer in the Canadian Job Bank and I was more than interested in it.

A career in regulatory toxicology report writing has been a dream of mine as early as I can remember.

As a child, growing up between the hedgerows of the summer baked shores of Victoria BC, I would lay back, my head in the sand, dreaming of anatomic pathology and plasma compositions. This dream was never realized, as I went to school and failed every biology class I took.

Sadly, I took up art instead. Art college led me to believe I would one day grow up and leave behind my foolish dreams of toxicology report writing. They claimed that a career in toxicology report writing would be anything but useful. “A dying field” they boasted as they slowly drew closed theirs rough hands around my wallet squeezing out every last penny. “Stick with art, be smart” was their motto; almost a war cry at times.

A successful career in graphic design during the late 90’s led me to believe perhaps that they were right all along; and I could finally leave behind the dreams of youth and peruse the lucrative career I was destined to succeed in.

Then came CSI. That show ruined my life. Glorifying the life of a toxicology report writer, and reopening the festering infected wounds of a lost youth, spent wasted in pursuit of money and power instead of fulfilling my dreams.

This was about the time the drinking set in. My blood alcohol level was at a constant .043, .062 on the weekends. I was desperate for quick solutions and diluted my cohesive thoughts with cannabis at levels exceeding 14 milligrams a day, blood levels exceeding 2ppm, showing a drop in white blood cells by 12% compared to the average male my weight and build. I was a wreck, my iron intake was 14% lower than normal, and I was not receiving adequate vitamin D. Hemodilutuon was noted due to lack of mobility and general laziness. In short my blood told me I needed to write about blood. How can you ignore your own blood?

It is for this reason I feel I would be an excellent fit for the position and a team player. I already have a lab coat.

Thank you for your time.

A Giant Meteor is Coming, I have 5 hours to Live.

by Joel

August 11th, 2008


My internal dialogue as I try and figure out what will I do with my time.

  • Shit! A meteor… I have to do something!
  • online checkers? no.
  • I could try out that Thai restaurant I’d regret not going to.
  • Shit! I should return my copy of ER volume 3 to the video store… They can’t charge a late fee, can they?
  • I could watch it again.
  • Have a nap? may as well…
  • Learn a some card tricks!
  • Write an angry letter to the government stating my displeasure at being in the brunt of a meteor, and buy stamps.
  • I’ve always wanted to make photo copies of my butt. In 5 hours I could get a lot of copies.
  • Rent a car? Yeah. but not the Ford… I’ll get something nice like a Mercury. And a CD player! On my credit card! hah, suckers.
  • Read a book? what if i don’t finish it…
  • Read a Kids book?
  • I still have that ER Volume 3 DVD…
  • Crossword?
  • what’s on TV? Oh yeah, meteor coverage.
  • Why didn’t I get cable? 5 channels of meteor is not good TV

*Plugs in ER Volume 3.

Why “ALF” was never popular on German TV

by Joel

  • “ALF” in German pronounced out loud is “Up”. The Germans never understood why that direction was so important to the show.
  • The frequencies ALF speaks in directly resonate with the frequencies German TV sets are designed to self-destruct in.
  • In the show ALF kept attacking, and trying to eat the cat. The Germans never understood why the father never put a muzzle on ALF or restrained him using a leash.
  • Alf is an acronym in Germany for “AufLiberFrugzgarten”. A version of the boy scouts. ALF was viewed as a caricature for small children, it was never understood why he ate cats.
  • ALF’s short stature and fur made him difficult to take seriously, which the show was advertised as… Sort of a German version of “Dawson’s Creek”.
  • The actor who played the Father in ALF was looked exactly like German actor Gunheim Koontz. Famous for playing the villain in a German kids show “Kunky and the Gunfhaarts” where Gunheim plays a personified toilet stain.
  • ALF was up against Germany’s first hit reality TV show “Whas In der ufenfauxhaufflaven, Ist un Gumharden?!?” or in English loosely translates to “What’s in the box, are you Stupid?!?”
  • ALF the video game for the Nintendo, was a rip off of Burger Time, the game Germans hold most dear.
  • They never showed the the legs of the characters in any one episode, this is a social mistake, as the legs of Germans are an important body language indicator and a key to giving the character’s motivation and cues to the characters likes and dislikes.
  • Guen Stefani, Germany’s favourite pop star, never made an appearance.
  • Financial Planning is important to Germans. ALF never shed light on the trappings of a middle class Americans’ financial decisions with a dependent alien.
  • Not enough fingers on ALF. A German superstition, like the number 13 here.
  • No leather clothing.
  • No Nudity

Hello, Blood Bag!

by Joel

August 5th, 2008

Robots are the coolest things that walk on two metal legs and have laser beams for eyes. Unlike cellphones, robots have a cool factor that increases proportionally to the size of the robot. Add on some grasping pincers, and explosives and you have one awesome machine.

Today I present to you a small list of my favorite robot sites.

Steamwars - If electricity hadn’t been discovered, this would be what a robot would look like today.

Gigantor Movie - Gigantor the space aged robot from the 1960s cartoons is now going to be in a live action film. It looks like fun!

Plustech’s Forest Walker - Like a bulldozer with 6 legs, and a saw instead of a scoop.

Asimo - Honda’s Asimo is everyone’s favorite walking robot. Now he can run.

Robot Diary - Robot Frank and his ubiquitous pal Red Robot log their adventures.

Diesel Sweeties - Red robot makes guest appearances in one of the funniest webcomics about robot love.
