Engage your brain!

This completely boggles my mind. Why do people refuse to engage their brains? How could any sane person think this was a good idea?

Romney's Cruel Canine Vacation
The incident: dog excrement found on the roof and windows of the Romney station wagon. How it got there: Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus's rather visceral protest.


WTF? Why did the border worker ever let this car in to Canada. I feel like Canada is a worse place for them just having visited ... even if it was 1983.

Keyboard Shortcuts (Part I)

People often notice that I don't use the mouse as much as most people. Personally I find it much quicker to do a lot of tasks using the keyboard. Therefore I've decided to post a list of keyboard shortcuts from time to time. Hopefully you'll enjoy them and and find them useful like I do. When editing text: ctrl + arrow (Left or Right) > Move the insertion point left or right entire words. ctrl + shift + arrow (Left or Right) > Highlight entire words (left or right of the insertion point). double click > Highlight an entire word. triple click > Highlight an entire line (not sentence). shift + home > Highlight from the insertion point to the start of the line. shift + end > Highlight from the insertion point to the end of the line.

Something that perplexes me....

I just came across this bit about asteroid Apophis and the chances of it impacting earth . "NASA scientists have recalculated the path of a large asteroid known as Apophis and now say it has only a very slim chance of banging into Earth.. The Apophis asteroid is approximately the size of two-and-a-half football fields, and updated computational techniques and newly available data indicate the probability of an Earth encounter on April 13, 2036 for Apophis has dropped from one-in-45,000 to about four-in-a million, NASA stated." So here's the bit that rubs me wrong: "four-in-a million". Why not say "one-in-250,000". If the authors are really stuck on the whole "four-in" thing then they should have said four-in-180,000 to start with. I really find inconsistencies like this baffling, I wish I knew the author and could understand what they hoped to gain by reporting the number in this way.
