What do you know 002

Growing Tree Toys and I shared a link, like your girlfriend:

“ ♪ Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad ♪ ”
Sexy profs face potential career setbacks - Holy Kaw!
“Attention all drool-worthy professors, it might be time to invest in a sweater vest collection, some nerdy eyewear, and front pleated pants. According to a new study, ‘professors who are considered too good-looking can be cast by their peers as lightweights, known less for their productivity than ...’”
Christopher Hurt knows that ‘staff’ infections are not funny.
Bacteria Have Eaten Giant Gulf Oil Plume, New Study Says | Popular Science
“The massive plume scientists announced last week might already be gone”
I ‘moat’ have thought that I was king of using single quotes.
wordwizard.com - View topic - guarantee vs guaranty
“Thus, the only difference left between the two is that ‘guaranty’ includes the act of providing the security and ‘guaranty’ doesn’t.
What I really suspect here, though, is that the use of the word ‘guaranty’ in 3b) was actually a boo-boo and the intent was to say that the ‘something’ in the ‘guaranty’ is ‘material’ security, whereas in a ‘guarantee’ it might be as little as a signature.”
However, one needs the Urban Dictionary for some phrases:
Check your Totem
“A reference from the Christopher Nolan movie Inception that suggests that a person should examine their totem (small personal object) in order to ...”
Strangely, the Urban Dictionary did not make the list for this year:

“Business bloggers at Harvard Business Review discuss a variety of business topics including managing people, innovation, leadership, and more.”
Christopher Hurt thinks that Chevrolet is taking a new lead in the business.
Chevy Orlando: A Small Minivan for Europe - KickingTires
“Is there a big market for SUVs in Europe? For some reason I thought SUVs were only popular in America and I always associated SUVs with America. I grew up in Europe during the 80s and don't recall seeing too many big cars like that back then. Plus the roads in European cities like Amsterdam are VERY narrow, I don't think a SUV will even fit on some roads.”
This model is based on the same platform as the Chevy Cruze and Chevrolet Volt.
Translogic Episode 5.4 - Chevrolet Volt Test Drive
“We finally get our chance behind the wheel of the much anticipated Chevrolet Volt. Bradley hits the test track at GM’s top secret proving grounds to see what Chevy’s new electric ride is made of.”
Each wheel on the Volt is driven by its own electric motor. Used to power a generator, which charges the battery pack, an internal-combustion engine is also on-board the Volt. Christopher Hurt again wonders, “Where was this in Back to the Future Part III, huh, DeLorean Motor Company?”
“Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor. But the internal-combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline; it always has. There’s not going to be a gas station around here until some time in the next century. Without gasoline, we can’t get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour.
So what’ll we do?

“Check out this awesome airplane hotel room conversion in Costa Rica.

I would take a walk in this incredibly nice weather, but I am too tired and burn easily in the sun. So much for that plan.

“The Rock Band Pro instruments look interesting, but most of my budget for plastic things is reserved for anime figures”
Watching BBC America, washing clothes, and doing homework will suffice for today, I suppose, but after a nap.

“If you're experiencing stress on the job or in your marriage, you're likely to see that turmoil play out in your dreams. Why does your brain make you relive the drama in your sleep?”
