It seems to me that there are two types of banana people in the world: those that prefer them yellow with brown spots, and those that like 'em yellow with just a tinge of green. Rarely can you find a banana that's 100% yellow (with neither brown nor green) because they ripen so quickly, and no one wants to do anything with a completely black one except to make banana bread out of it. Of course, there are probably those that don't eat bananas, but they obviously wouldn't identify themselves as 'banana people', now would they?

It seems to me that the problem with "Internet Time" isn't the time, it's the date. If it's "@699" (pronounced 'at six ninety-nine') everywhere in the world at the same time, that's great, but what day is it? You can't really tell someone in China to 'email me @699 on Friday' because Friday there wouldn't be Friday here. They need to come up with a corresponding "Internet Date", as well, for the whole scheme to work.

It's amusing to me the rogue snow lanes that develop after a snowstorm, and how very different they are in contrast to the regular painted line lanes on the road. Where there are usually two lanes, now there is only one. Corners that normally have strict or tight cornering suddenly become quite liberal in their angles. My favorite is the fact that you can now park in the middle of the street and everyone is okay with it. And who said having this much snow on the roads is a bad thing?   =)

NASA's Deep Impact rocket blasted off today, which is interesting. They had a one-second time window in which to launch the rocket, and apparently they pulled it off. Now let's see if their trajectories and calculations were correct - and lets just hope that splitting a comet in two isn't going to cause a Hollywood-style deep impact of it's own here on Earth. Where's Bruce Willis when you need him?

Okay, but did anyone else hear about the idiot that ate a raw duck, drank filthy bayou water, and waved his underwear around on his gun recently when he became lost while hunting? He was rescued 12 hours later, but apparently felt the need to eat a raw animal and drink bacteria-laden water "just to survive". After only 12 hours? I think I'd do a week-long fast before I'd eat a raw duck and drink some filthy water that would probably kill me a few days later... What's this guy thinking?
