Brittany Murphy Overdose

Best known for playing the “I’ll never tell” girl, and the chick who humped Eminem in the factory during 8-mile, former Clueless star Brittany Murphy has died. Oh nos! Drug overdose? Show of hands…

The Pizza Proof

i <3 za! nom nom nom

The problem at hand is essentially this: “Suppose the harried waiter cuts the pizza off-centre, but with all the edge-to-edge cuts crossing at a single point, and with the same angle between adjacent cuts. The off-centre cuts mean the slices will not all be the same size, so if two people take turns to take neighbouring slices, will they get equal shares by the time they have gone right round the pizza - and if not, who will get more?”

The visual break down of the proof is this, in a nutshell:

Pretty slick stuff…NewScientist reports the details in a lengthy feature.. “He [Rick Mabry] suspected that someone, somewhere must already have worked out the simple-looking sums at the heart of the new expression, so he trawled the online world for theorems in the vast field of combinatorics - an area of pure mathematics concerned with listing, counting and rearranging - that might provide the key result he was looking for. Eventually he found what he was after: a 1999 paper that referenced a mathematical statement from 1979. There, Mabry found the tools he and Deiermann needed to show whether the complex algebra of the rectangular strips came out positive or negative. The rest of the proof then fell into place (American Mathematical Monthly, vol 116, p 423).”

Awesome. I need to tear into the guts of this guy…pretty sweet (and asinine) math. For the non-math inclined, here is a sweet picture of Freemo, the Talking Pizza. He is funny.

The Perfect Buffalo Burger

If there is one thing I like more than animated GIFs, it is buffalo burger. And I love me some animated Gifs…following that line of reasoning, I really love me some buffalo burger.

How about that slick guy^ ? And those slick burgers ^ ? Here is The Perfect Buffalo Burger recipe:

  1. Step 1: Place 1/2 lb ground buffalo in bowl
  2. Step 2: Add a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce (feel free to substitute Gloucestershire, Dorchester, or any other German-sounding sauce)
  3. Step 3: Toss in some bread crumbs…this will soak up what little fat there is, and keep the burgers from drying out
  4. Step 4: Fire up the George Foreman Grill…knock that sucker out
  5. Step 5: Cook until desired “done-ness” is achieved…I like my buffalo mooing, so two minutes per side is about perfect.
  6. Step 6: Assemble, and enjoy.

[!NOTE] DO NOT OVERCOOK BUFFALO… order/eat it a full level of done-ness below how you would beef. Trust me on this one.

[!TIP] UBUNTU RULES… try tossing an animated gif together using the trial version of Corel Paint that comes with your stupid Windows machine. The Gimp is free as always with Karmic Koala. Linux rules. Trust me on this one, too.

From Inept RA to Inept Sex Offender

I fired up the Bozeman Daily Chronicle today to find a treat. As luck would have it, my corpulent former RA from the dorms is in some hot water. Good stuff…

From the Cronicle:

A Belgrade man pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to attempted sexual exploitation of children, U.S. Attorney Bill Mercer said in a written statement. Rayne Allen Wolery, 30, was accused of corresponding with a 14-year-old girl on Facebook beginning in June. According to prosecutors, Wolery had met the 14-year-old girl briefly in a chance encounter at a marina near Helena, then looked her up on Facebook and contacted her. When Wolery’s conversations became sexual, law enforcement in Helena began posing as the girl on her Facebook account. Wolery sent pictures of his naked penis to the girl’s account and asked her to show them to a friend, prosecutors said. Wolery also asked the girl and her friend to take sexually explicit photographs of themselves and send them to him over the Internet. Wolery was arrested, and a search of his computer and Nokia cell phone showed they had been used to communicate with the girl and undercover police. When questioned, Wolery admitted sending the pictures of himself, thinking they were going to a 14-year-old girl and her friend. He also admitted to asking for explicit photos of the girls. Sentencing is set for March 18, 2010. He is currently detained. Wolery faces up to 30 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and lifetime supervision. The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Montana Division of Criminal Investigation.

The Cronicle staff didn’t include a picture of this piece of shit…I will

rayne

That beady-eyed creep was too inept to carry out his RA duties with twenty of us honors students…I’m not surprised in the least that he botched his attempt at child predatorialism. I don’t have any patience for this type of shit…with any luck Rayne will sit in prison for a long, long time. I’m glad the girls weren’t hurt, aside from damage incurred by viewing the picture of his “naked penis”, of course. Gross.
