Cory-ism of the day

Unintentionally wonderful quote from bOING bOING:

“Adjust your tool so that it subtracts bad social interactions, instead of adding to them.”

I’ll get right on that, Cory!

We have a wet cleanup on.. downtown...

TAIPEI (Reuters) - The decomposing remains of a 60-ton sperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.

The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a university earlier this week, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.

The whale had died after it was beached on the southwestern coast of the island.

Dispatches from the inexplicable

This is something from my brother’s research work. He’s a physicist. I don’t know what it is, but it looks like something Syd Barrett saw in a dream in 1970.

To Hoag Hospital and my insurer

Fuck you.

I obtained medical care fully covered under my insurance plan. You, the insurer, made up insane reasons why you needed unavailable additional information to pay the claim. You, Hoag, dropped the ball. Now you, Hoag, have sold the $280 debt to a collection agency instead of collecting it from the insurer.

I pay my premiums and give you the card for a fucking reason. Do not trash my credit rating because some of you are dishonest and others of you are lazy.

Fuck you.

On the phone: “We just bill the insurance and if it is rejected it is your responsibility.”

This after the nurse said that California law requires the insurer to pay.

Hallmark holidays

Is there a 15-day waiting period on ammunition before Valentine’s day?

You know, because of people shooting into the air. And stuff.

I’m just asking.
