Did you hear our sysadmin removed rsync from the environment? Yeah, he said he didn’t like the syncing feeling it gave him.

We highly recommend The Rejection of Pascal’s Wager: A Skeptic’s Guide to the Bible and the Historical Jesus. It is an incisive display of unpretentious, serious scholarship and it is the only word needed on the debate.

The Birds and the Beasts declared war against each other. No compromise was possible, and so they went at it tooth and claw. It is said the quarrel grew out of the persecution the race of Geese suffered at the teeth of the Fox family. The Beasts, too, had cause for fight. The Eagle was constantly pouncing on the Hare, and the Owl dined daily on Mice.
It was a terrible battle. Many a Hare and many a Mouse died. Chickens and Geese fell by the score—and the victor always stopped for a feast.
Now the Bat family had not openly joined either side. They were a very politic race. So when they saw the Birds getting the better of it, they were Birds for all there was in it. But when the tide of battle turned, they immediately sided with the Beasts.
When the battle was over, the conduct of the Bats was discussed at the peace conference. Such deceit was unpardonable, and Birds and Beasts made common cause to drive out the Bats. And since then the Bat family hides in dark towers and deserted ruins, flying out only in the night.

Re^2: Nerd humor, cf rsync
That’s how I roll. Jokes falling into one of 1) instigating civil lawsuits and hate crime charges, 2) painfully childlike, 3) stoopid n3rdy.
Speaking of hate crime. The kids were shouting, “Nickers!” and giggling uncontrollably last night. I was grateful there was no one to hear so I didn’t have to carefully explain they were yelling, “Ni-CK-ers,” no really, because of a Wallace and Grommit short they saw and not because of something they overheard at the dinner table.
I could write you but it’s more fun here instead: a friend of mine from Taos just got a job at Blizzard in Austin, TX doing WoW game mastering. Full time and benefits.
