Just a question

This photo was taken from CNNs front page, presumably from a press conference announching that Al-Zarqawi. What I wonder is, where did they get a frame on such short notice.. and more importantly, why did they think a frame was needed??

Mark your calendars

In the spirit of the oranges, I’d like to report that this week I have eaten 4 apples!  Two more remain on my desk for today and tomorrow.  I think this breaks a 10 year apple hiatus.  Amazing.

In related news, I also ate a serving of oatmeal this morning at my desk.  That’s probably a 12-15 year record.  Hopefully I won’t be so hungry later this morning.

IM at Work

So at work we use Windows Messenger, the idea being that we can communicate quicker.  This should be the case, but I’ve found that the vast majority of people here (mostly those older than myself) use it for:

Got a minute?  Stop in my office.

or

 Got a minute to discuss X?  I’ll call.

or

Are you there?  I’ll be over in a second.

Sigh.  Come On people!  Don’t be afraid to use IM.

Here’s a first

I just purchased a bag of oranges and actually ate one here at my desk.  I’m 99% sure that’s the first time I’ve eaten an orange.  I’ve had a piece or two from others that were eating them, but never a whole orange.

That, combined with my first eating of eggs at a restaurant a couple weeks ago… Sheesh! What the heck’s going on?!?

Pope

The following is from a CNN article regarding the burial of the Pope:

Vatican officials say it is likely Pope John Paul II will be buried in the grave once occupied by Pope John XXIII in the grotto beneath St. Peter’s Basilica. Spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls says the pope will be buried there “unless he left other instructions in the will. … But we don’t know because we haven’t read the will yet.”

Now, I’m no expert, but shouldn’t they have taken a glance at that will by now? I suspect there’s an explanation in the “…”, but I still found it pretty funny.

NBC

My suspicions are correct. 42.85% of NBC’s Prime Time lineup consists of Law and Order shows of some form (9 hours out of 7 days * 3 hours per day). And they are adding a new series to the lineup.. when does it end!

eVoting

I ran across this article over at CNN. I think what Nevada is doing is a very good idea, but I first chuckled at thought of how appropriate it would be if people were lining up at slot machines to cast their votes for office.
