To answer your questions Alison.

1)I have went out to investigate "weird" noises before. It was some girl bawling her eyes out because her boyfriend just dumped her. It was pretty loud I could hear it a block away. I didn't investigate alone, my neighbour was also curious and better yet he brought a flashlight. Someone called the police and they basically took her to the station to calm her nerves. So investigate if you like and as for what to do, I don't know I guess it depends on the sitiuation.

2)I've been slowly trying to turn people to go to gateway lanes on wednesday. It started with facebook and is slowly moving onto me telling peoiple to go there if I see them. Unfortunately I haven't sen you in a while so I must of forgot. Don't worry I just started 3 weeks ago so it is still in it's beginning stages. But I'm telling you now.

Where:Gateway lanes bowling alley, in the bar area

When:Wednesday, 8:00ish because we are old and tired and have to work early.

Who:You, me, and the Jason Lenko crew

Why:Wings are cheaper, bigger and they have teriyaki flavour! No Gayle, however you get to see akward anti-social behaviour from me. Also free pool, I'll be an extreme handicap if we play. You also get to meet new people!

animals are better than you.



(yes, i'm procrastinating... my paper will get done... eventually!)

oh, hey, question:


what is the proper protocol when one is awoken in bed by screams of terror from somewhere in the neighbourhood? ought i to have gone outside and taken a look around? or just assumed all worked out well when the screams stopped? a woman and a little kid... around the time most walk to school... i wouldn't really even know where to begin (was it in our cul-de-sac? down the street? noise carries far sometimes. or perhaps it was indoors, and what then? i can't go knocking on peoples' doors that i don't know, can i ?)




Gateway Lanes Albert? huh... was that the phone call i didn't get to in time to answer before the person hung up on my machine? or... how else would we have known about it?

Oh also:

Where: South Edmonton Commons

So don't know how many of you have seen Grindhouse but me and the Lenko crew are going to see it this Saturday at night. So the plan is:

When: Saturday, April 14- nightish (actual time to come)

What: Grindhouse, this is a 3 1/2 hour movie so prepare for it. Make sure to book off a adequete portion of your day to see this movie.

Why: Because you like bad b-movies! And you get to meet new people! You also get to see akward anti-social reactions from me! (You missed out on a good one yesterday night for all you people who didn't show up at gateway lane)

Dang.

The Coulter Hoax: How Ann Coulter Exposed the Intelligent Design Movement, by Peter Olofsson:

Coulter has very cleverly written a fake criticism of evolution, much like the way NYU physicist Alan Sokal in 1996 published a fake physics article in a literary journal, an affair that has become known as the "Sokal hoax." A self-proclaimed "old unabashed leftist," Sokal was disturbed by the sloppily antiscientific, postmodernistic mentality that had started to replace reason and rationality within the academic left and ingeniously made his point by managing to get his nonsense article published by the very people he wished to expose.

Coulter's aim at antiscience is at the other end of the political spectrum. An equally unabashed rightist, she is apparently disturbed by how factions within the political right abandon their normally rational standards when it comes to the issue of evolution. However, whereas Sokal revealed his hoax in a separate article, Coulter challenges her readers to find out the truth for themselves. Without claiming to do justice to Coulter's multifaceted and sometimes subtle satire, I will attempt to outline some of her most amusing and salient points.
