I've never seen the undead look so precious, metl. 

Those toes look like the have been stubbed a million times over and over again...makes me wince (>_<) 

make sure he has eyes 

make sure he's listening to Westwo0o0o0od. 

The legs should be more emaciated. I can see the knobs at the ends of my own femurs for goodness' sake. 

I've never seen the undead look so precious, metl.

Kind of like Young Frankenstein's monster with a flower in his hand, just before being rejected. 

quality stuff, Metl 

you global-conditionally ignorant swine!

I'm normally bored off my ass by politics, socio-economic data, and most forms of history in general, but that was pretty cool.

Screwed around at gapminder.org a bit too with their graphing software. Good stuff. 

Nice watch yeah. 

sounds like the problem opera users have when "referer logging" is disabled. Does that help? 

But the Swedish accent was rather horrible 

yes, that fixed the problem. why on earth would you disallow login without a referrer? 

I sent you an email reply Friday night, did you get that? 

received and bizzy exploring.
you did a great job! 

the head is way too rounded!
I demand square top 

so I`m at the new job, setting up the shizzle
all is cool and ppl are nice
seems like no IRC... but we`ll see about THAT :) 

you will make them wish you had irc!

this is maybe a little bit off topic, but
sounds very interesting. unfortunately at

This seems to imply a really weird kind of determinism. Too late do I realize that I should have just deluded myself with spirituality. 

which brings up lots of messy and interesting questions. Though this article implies heavily that issues of genetic determinism are extremely clear cut, and I don't know that reliable neuroscience actually says that at all.

Unfortunately at the end he wigs out and seems to conclude that science is going to rip itself apart looking for certainty...what? Dude, put down the Nietzsche and go and read Kant and Hume.

Still, worth the read. 

Isn't there some inherent unpredictability in all systems though? When we talk about brain chemistry we're talking about molecular interaction, between neurons and neurotransmitters. Isn't there an arm of science that states there is an indelible 'chanciness' in all such things? 

Quantum Mechanics states that everything is based on probability rather than predictability, but at molecular levels the probability of something acting 'odd' is pretty small, and on larger levels like animals, planets, cells, etc the probability is so small that most oddities would happen once every existence of the universe or so, if that. But, there still is always the chance that a particle could disappear from its system and end up somewhere else, no matter how small the chance. 

Yes and no. While there is chaos at all levels in our universe, there is also a force that creates order within that chaos, or else there would be no order at all (second law of thermodynamics). If you are interested and wanna read up, there is a fantastic introduction into this relatively new field of science. The book is called "Complexity" by Mitchell M. Waldrop: http://www.amazon.com/Complexity-Emerging-Science-Order-Chaos/dp/0671872346/sr=8-2/qid=1171052891/ref=pd_bbs_2/002-9067434-7020044?ie=UTF8&s=books
