Keep those milestones coming...

18st 9 lbs this morning, which is exactly 2 stone since I started.

You don't exist!

I'm sure most of the folks reading this have created characters, be it for online RPG's, face-to-face RP, or just fiction. I also suspect a lot of folks, like me, can roughly describe the character. I do, though, often find myself saying 'I don't know exactly what they look like, but if I ran into them in the street, I'd know them.'

astraether, and maybe a few other folks I never knew played there, will remember Maera, my feisty red-headed barmaid from CryptMUSH. I met her on Wednesday! Working behind the rental counter of the place I hired a van from to transport Anne's birthday present: *exactly* the height, build, hair, face I imagined. Very uncanny.

Statistics 101A - Failed.

From rec.music.filk:

The menu at the Coffee Garden at 900 East and 900 South in Salt Lake City has included a scrumptious selection of quiche for about 10 years.

The recipe calls for four fresh eggs for each quiche.

A Salt Lake County Health Department inspector paid a visit recently and pointed out that research by the Food and Drug Administration indicates that one in four eggs carries salmonella bacterium, so restaurants should never use more than three eggs when preparing quiche.

The manager on duty wondered aloud if simply throwing out three eggs from each dozen and using the remaining nine in four-egg-quiches would serve the same purpose.

The inspector wasn't sure, but she said she would research it.

Sometimes, I despair of my fellow men.
