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. (more…)

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

August 8th, 2008

alf.jpg

  • “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.
  • Because of a mistake in translation, the show was advertised as a sort of a German version of “Dawson’s Creek“, but ALF’s short stature and fur made him difficult to take seriously.
  • 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 consistant manner, 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.
