Tonight, I'm just sharing some links I've found recently.
- Here's a column in case you're ever in need of a song with Pittsburgh in the lyrics.
- Here's a column about a guy who got caught with a fake Carnegie Mellon University ID. The key paragraph is five from the end:
"You don't target the specific robotics section ... to meet girls or for something innocuous," Mr. Dembosky said.
Frankly, you don't target any section of the campus to meet girls. For that, you'd have to steal a Pitt or Duquesne ID.
- Funny how, about a month or so before Stephen King and JK Rowling are scheduled to make an appearance together, a possible future scenario appears where someone could go all Misery on Rowling.
- I always find it interesting how some people find words offensive and others don't, simply because the meaning of a word has evolved. Another example is that I know my parents still link the word Bastard with the definition "illegitimate child" and find it really offensive. Most people I know would more match it with "an offensive or disagreeable person" and probably find it less offensive. Of course, calling someone an illegitimate child nowadays isn't really offensive.
- I actually like this idea. Growing meat in labs would take away alot of the arguments against eating meat that vegetarians use. Of course, animals that are only in existence to feed human, which would include most farm animals, would end up existing only in zoos and maybe as pets. Of course, there would be protests. Possible protesters might include those who protest "frankenfoods", those who protest cloning, and those who think even messing with stem cells is trying to play God.

Here's another pittsburgh song, albeit not mainstream.
John Gorka is "big" on the folk circuit and had his guitar stolen in pgh once. "Pittsburgh has the Steelers and the Pirates and the Thieves."

They left out Alabama's 40 hour week. "Hello Pittsburgh, steel mill workers, let me thank you for your time."
