Soap 3

Random thought

If I were a mad scientist, or just someone looking to cause a lot of chaos and destruction (but let's not use the T word here...), I would totally create some new germ weapon or disease and makes it's carrier bars of soap.

Think about it. Not only would I manage to infect millions super fast, but I'd cause even more destruction once the public realized it was the soap that was the danger and everybody stopped cleaning themselves. Think of the germs! Think of the disease! It'd be like the black plague all over again...

Sometimes I scare myself with what I come up with in my head...









Oh, and an update on the epic.

So Shuffle

So just about everyone else is posting about their jobs (makes sense, that is what we're all doing right now...), so I figured I'd join in a little bit.

My job, on good days, keeps me busy enough to not start watching my watch hands move while not bringing me to the point of a full body shut-down. However, a lot of it is still far from mentally stimulating, so I often find my mind wandering to whatever it used to wander to in my old ADD posts.

That being said, I can only remember on thought I've had recently at work right now.

If there is ever a zombie apocalypse, or we all need to get out and fight guerrilla-style against some sort of common enemy other than zombies, i call being the guy that gets to wield the shotgun. Most awesome-est weapon ever.

My job also allows for a fair bit of iPod listening, making shuffle songs one of my new favourite options. However, I think there's a little too much coincidence in Apple's shuffle option as opposed to another devices random. To prove my point, i have nearly 2764 songs right now...

1) Within one hour of one day 3 of the songs played were by The Hush Sound, of which I only have 19 songs...
2) That same day also played two songs by k-os one after the other (I only have 26 songs): Neutroniks and Papercutz. They were both from "Joyful Rebellion" as well...
3) Another day the shuffle option played Apollo I: The Writing Writer and Apollo II: The Telling Truth, both songs by Coheed and Cambria, within twenty minutes of eachother. Although I think that those two songs being played at all in the same day is pretty strange...
4) I have three versions of Kidnap The Sandy Claws on my computer: the movie version, Danny Elfman's original demo version, and a cover version by She Wants Revenge. One day two of those three songs were played...
5) There have been a bunch of other Hush Sound-style coincidences where a bunch of songs played in one day are by one artist who I don't have a lot of (Coldplay: 17 songs, 3 played; The Hush Sound: 19 songs, 4 played; Incubus: 15 songs, 2 played; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: 13 songs, 3 played, and two were of my six ocarina songs...)

And yeah, that's my job and how bored I am with it. Enjoy the links (I added links!)
