- yay!
You are ð (okay, it's supposed to be pi, but something went weird)
Of all the irrational numbers, you are the most famous. You have many friends and fans. Like many people, non-Euclidean geometry makes you feel uncomfortable. You are involved in so many things that it seems like it would take two of you to make ends meet.
You are particularly close to the rational number 22/7. However, you and e have been called "remarkable."
Your lucky number is approximately 3.14159265
Eternal Sunshine... sounds good. and I can go for free! (yay christmas presents!)
Well Par, I'll probably call you later to get a ride then.
And face, like I was going to think of a bike as the main focus of the pic.
I didn't even think of that as a reason for you to enjoy the picture
so I thought of the first thing that I could see that would make that pic "interesting"
so there. you who posts the nasty stuff anyway,
it made sense to me that you'd be looking at it for that reason.

- On the topic of nostalgia (sort of... bear with me, it kind of works), CBS is developing a TV series called Vinyl Cafe. For those of you who listen to CBC radio, you may know Vinyl Cafe as a radio show hosted by Stuart McLean, where he details some misadventures of Dave and his Toronto family, as well as spinning some of his favourite music. (If you ever turn on CBC radio and hear someone talking about "Dave and Morley," you've heard this show.) Apparently, CBS is interesting in developing the stories of Dave and Morley, and their children Sam and Stephanie, into a television show.
While I found this new show, I also found that Lewis Black (of Daily Show fame) is developing a show where he stars as a "frustrated and angry" high school principal (Lewis Black frustrated and angry? Never)
And, in the area of lame titles, and East Coast Indo-Canadian comics (you know who I'm talking about,) a show called (I can't believe they would stoop to this) Never Mind Nirvana is being developed by NBC. It stars Shaun Majumder (if you missed that first reference) as an Indian-American doctor.

- Actually... I'm not sure if I'm entirely correct in assuming that the "Big Cool" scenario would result in the dissipation of matter into eternal nothingness at 0 degrees Kelvin. I admit I don't have a clue what happens to the background radiation of space (which is 3 degrees Kelvin) if the universe drifts apart... but I'm guessing it'll disappear to zero too (or follow an asmyptote to become infinitely close to zero, which is basically the same thing as far as I'm concerned)... or maybe no one really knows.
Actually, this stuff is all pretty fascinating. Did you know that if the total mass of the universe is enough that it's gravity overcomes the forces of expansion set in motion by the Big Bang (as well as the gravitational forces of dark matter which some postulate is causing the universe's expansion to accelarte), then sentient life (as we know it) will experience time backwards? In other words, they'll live 'backwards' through time right up until the Big Bang. That's some CRAZY SHIT eh?
And apparently our only known route of escape from the destruction of the universe lies in Superstring Theory. Unless we can harness the power of the universe itself we're basically fucked. Also, it's been determined that the universe is about 14-15 billion years old... and if the Big Crunch is to take place it will happen within the next 20 billion years. So basically our universe is already half-dead.
Man, how do they come up with these things? Reading about this stuff seriously just blows my mind.

- Cosmological Eschatology
(an ode to the Big Crunch)
Ultimately we realize
that at some point we'll vaporize
unless negative alibis
equals asymptotic horiz-
ons which means that (not in four-eyes
terms) all matter forever flies
through inf'nite zero-Kelvin skies.
But if perchance 0 complies,
then we can breathe collective sighs
(if a neutrino never dies).
