Our Military

Published by Peter under Daily Life

Thanks to Pepe for sending me this!

A United States marine was attending some college courses between
assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of
the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of
the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to
the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you
to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The
lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went
by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It
got down to the last couple of minutes when the marine got out of his
chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him knocking him off
the platform.

The professor was out cold. The marine went back to his seat and sat there,
silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there
looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably
shaken, looked at the marine and asked, “What the hell is the matter
with you? Why did you do that?”

The marine calmly replied, “God was too busy today protecting America’s troops who are protecting your right to say stupid shit and act like an asshole. ……………. So, He sent me.”

Excellent list of Windows Apps!

Published by Peter under Computers, Daily Life

I was reading ArsTechnica this morning, before work, and I ran across this fantastic list of Windows utilities. More of them are geared towards programmers and power users. If you aren’t one of them, please, move along!

Scott Hanselman’s Ultimate Developer and Power Users List for Windows

I use many of these but I am also excited to try some of these that I’ve never heard of!

Corvette Z-06 Chasing a Ford GT

Published by Peter under Cars, Daily Life

Thanks, JT$, for sending me this sweet video. It’s not often we get to see a video of a car chase, other than cops, through the streets and highways of Metro Detroit.

Chief Designer of the GT, Camilo Pardo, being chased by a Z06 down I-94. 160mph+

The Z06 runs out of gas and has to get off at Middlebelt.

I think there’s a Lambo in there somewhere, too…3 cars total.
