How very interesting…

I scored 22… the average female is 15. The average man, 18. That’s far from an Aspergers’ diagnosis [32], but it’s apparently above the average male or female computer scientist…

It’s no wonder, really…I’ve always been a bit of an oddball… and I kinda like it like that.

I have the Asperger’s Quotient of an average female scientist. I don’t know how to feel about that. So maybe the results are wrong.

AS Test Results

i’m a 25. above the average math contest winner. which means, i SO should have won a math contest at some point. errrr….

twelve. this is shocking to me.

laura, i think of you as the most socially inspiring person i know! is it tough on you sometimes?

Republican John McCain said on Monday if elected president he would challenge American experts to develop a futuristic battery to power cars and win a $300 million prize.

(via Reuters)

I bet initially McCain wanted to make the reward $100 and two Werthers Originals, but his advisors made him change it.

// new batteries for old men. i love it.

ellebelle: “Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological. This is a large statement, and it is dangerous to make it, for almost anything you say about Southern belief can be denied in the next breath with equal propriety. But approaching the subject from the standpoint of the writer, I think it is safe to say that while the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted. The Southerner, who isn’t convinced of it, is very much afraid that he may have been formed in the image and likeness of God. Ghosts can be very fierce and instructive. They cast strange shadows, particularly in our literature. In any case, it is when the freak can be sensed as a figure for our essential displacement that he attains some depth in literature.” -Flannery O’Connor, “The Grotesque in Southern Fiction” (via toomuchawesome) See also this, this, and this. (via mills) ooosh, i love flannery o’connor’s words.

“ Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.

heathershae: lauriebreaker: 2 references to weezer’s “heart songs” out of what, 10 folks? nice guys, nice. i love my friends. As I just read this post I was listening to Heart Songs on a train to Baltimore. Potential song if the summer? I shared Bill&#8217;s away message for a solid week after first hearing Heart Songs. Love, love, love.
