NARF!!!!!!!


The theme from my favorite cartoon:
Pinky and The Brain with a BIIIIG magnet
They're Pinky and The Brain.
Yes, Pinky and The Brain.
One is a genius, the other's insane.
They're laboratory mice.
Their genes have been spliced.
They're dinky.
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain,
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.
Brain.

Before each night is done,
their plan will be unfurled.
By dawning of the sun,
they take over the world.

They're Pinky and The Brain.
Yes, Pinky and The Brain.
Their twilight campaign is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth,
they overthrow the earth.
They're dinky.
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain,
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.
NARF!

Since I'm also a big fan of Star Trek, it's fun to see this splicing: K'Pinky and the Brain
- and I do love cocktails, so this splice is cool too: Pinky Brain

And here's a little brain-food for those who like The Beast (online game that followed the movie A.I.) and in particular the riddle-side of all those ARGs (Alternate Reality Games), that are roaming the internet these days.

I finished next stage of my chapter on Social Interaction theory: a Danish book on basic sociology used at the Danish Universities as introduction to the subject.
This gave me the chance to work out the frame of my project and put other theories I know into context. It's heavy stuff to do as self study, but also very rewarding...now I only need to make the appropriate notes :)

The weather is indecisive today...one second the sun shines brightly and the second after it's hailing....the wonder of nature? I will as precaution sit on the balcony wearing sunglasses and bulletproof vest.

Even I got sick and tired of that disappearing cursor, so it should be back to normal now...(sorry!)
