Well, not personally. But I have visited the zoo exhibit where they raise them many times. Depending on which batch those were from, I could have seen those very ones!

I normally never share personal stuff but this caught me so off guard I Tweeted it as a knee-jerk reaction. Stupid mistake I ever made. But now I know. And knowing is half the battle!
- Mona Nomura
so you're NOT getting married? damn, it would have been a fun wedding to go to :)
- Tudor Bosman
No I'm not, but when I *DO* get married, you bet your butt it'd be fun. And all my FF peeps are invited. Wedding favors would be like conference schwag: t-shirts and totes. Food would be like conference food: gummi bears and Swedish Fish. FTW.
- Mona Nomura
*lol* A conference themed wedding would be totally awesome! Would the groom be required to attend Mona 101 earlier in the day before the ceremony?
- Rachel Lea Fox
No, his only duty would be to make sure there are enough power strips and the WiFi is working ok LOL
- Mona Nomura
Oo. I want a badge.. and a title. We'll toss our business cards in fishbowls to see who gets the center piece.
- Rodfather
lol that's not nice, Mona. If you did marry Chris, you too could have two 30" monitors connected to a tricked out Mac Pro. Not a bad deal, there.
- Danny Minick
I would have an MsSurface for folks to exchange contact info. And quit bringing up Pirillo - seriously, I'd rather eat a tub of year old bacon grease (like I said up there) or even a garbage bag full of popcorn jelly beans (which I HATE with a passion) than marry him. Seriously. GROSS.

Just watched the video... WTF kind of place is this, where there's random fights on the streets, with hundreds of people around, and nobody doing a damn thing about it? I've never seen anything like that in my life. Not the fighting, but the complete disregard of the people, as if that sort of thing is in any way "normal"... Try and pull that type of thing around here, and *everybody* will move to stop it, and cops will be on your ass in about 8 seconds flat.
- Otto
Kind of reminds me of how it used to look when all the clubs would let out at 2am near Fenway.
- Veronica
Amy: Geez, that's just sad. Why do people over there put up with that sort of thing? Or is it because here in the US, people don't do that because they might actually get shot? I mean, say what you want about gun control, but nothing calms down a situation like a cap in the ass. :-D
- Otto
Otto: You guys don't (seem to) have the same drinking culture. Some guys actually go out to start fights here (I'd like to add it's only in certain places). Tbh I'd rather not have the guns though, people are bad enough with knives.
- Amy
You're nuts. I'd much rather be up against a guy with a gun than against a guy with a knife. The guy with the gun probably has no skills or knowledge of how to use it, whereas the guy with the knife has to have developed some rudimentary fighting skills (since he's still breathing). Plus, if he has a gun, I can have one too. Only makes sense. And I guarantee you that I'm a better shot than him. :)
- Otto
Otto: A guy with a gun has the chance of killing you with one shot at close range, it'd take more precise actions to kill someone with a knife. Although, we thought the same thing (wondering why no one was helping) when we were in Vegas coming back from my cousin's wedding and there was a guy having a seizure on the ground when we got to the hotel...and a whole taxi queue (at LEAST 20 people) just standing watching. All they needed to do was put him in the recovery position!
- Amy
Oh, there was a cheerleader-type hysterically screaming in her mobile (who clearly wasn't with the guy) and the guy's friend (who seemed to be in shock) but it was the queue of people just watching from about 5' away that was just plain scary.
- Amy
A guy having a seizure is a bit different than people having a fight. For one, that's a medical condition, and many people wouldn't know what to do and would be scared of hurting the guy or something. What I mean is that I can understand people not *helping*. I can't quite understand people just walking around the people fighting without, you know, stopping, looking... hell, even placing bets would be something... :)
- Otto
Meh. Potentially getting punched (or worse) vs. potentially saving a life?
- Amy
You're assuming that people know *how* to save a life. I haven't the faintest idea what you meant by "recovery position" above, and I suspect 99% of the populace doesn't either. If you don't know what to do, most people generally just watch instead. This is normal.
- Otto
I'd say most people here know the recovery position (we had classes in school, people in the workplace get training, and there used to be a really popular show about how to help in emergencies). It's REALLY basic first aid. *shrug* Different cultures.

haha - just a screenshot..LOL! Someone please make this though, I want! :)

I thought about having such a frame displayed in a corner of the room each time we throw a party with my friends. So that everyone can see what the others are FFing or brightkiting from the party. Using a special hashtag and the search function to display it in the frame, for instance.
- Brome
Bryan - very cool!! It would be nice to have a couple of those to throw information on :)
- Mike Bracco
Saw this monitor before and thought what could I use this for? Friendfeed would be the perfect App for this!
- Bryan Lee
Mike, what's the make & model of that thing? I'm curious about the size & resolution as well as cost. That option Bryan shows is pretty cool too. I've thought about doing something like this but you my friend have done it. Nice job.
- Mark Krynsky
Mark: I wish I actually had this. I actually just took a screenshot on my computer and placed the screenshot on my Brookestone digital picture frame. :)

I like how the fox is just trying and trying, then does it and runs away, like that was seriously the only reason it was around the dog. "I wanna make that saying come true, dammit!"

"The small squid, which is the size of a large orange, is normally found more than 320ft (100m) below the ocean surface, meaning little is known of its behaviour. Measuring just 4in in length the species has unusual pigmentation and acquired its name from its tuft of arms and tentacles, and rotund shape. Because of its deep water habit, little is known of the behaviour of the squid, although not surprisingly, judging by its body shape, it is known to be a sluggish swimmer. Properly called Helicocranchia pfefferi, the animals are also noted for the light producing organs known as photophores located beneath each of their large eyes."

According to recent Samuel Johnson prize winning book Leviathan by Philip Hoare, whales were not photographed underwater until as late as 1975. We photographed Earth from space earlier than that.Amazing creatures. I wonder if there's a connection between human observation and destruction though... http://www.guardian.co.uk/books...http://www.guardian.co.uk/books...

I still think an angered Big Bird could kick this giant birds ass. Big bird has those long legs that go on forever that can deliver a swift kick to the beak.

For a while now, I've been thinking that Betty was wasted for a lotta years, playing the smiling ditz. It was incredibly fun watching her play the screeching harpy on That '70s Show.
- Roger Benningfield
i adore that woman. i had the chance to hang with her for a day for a charity event. she's raunchy as all get out. i'd love to see her and etta james together. i may even blush.
- Admiral Anika
She did a cameo on Ugly Betty recently and she got to show the claws a bit. It was awesome. I love Betty White. Always have.
- ♥patricia♥
Roger: she played 'the tramp' on some show during the 70s. My mom mentioned this to me one day while we were watching Golden Girls because she said it made it harder for her to see her as Rose.

she was pretty catty on the Mary Tyler Moore show if I remember correctly.

Diary Survives 37-Mile Fall To Earth, Belonged To Israel's First Astronaut, Victim Of Columbia Shuttle Disaster; Going On Display In Jerusalem - CBS News - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories...
"A little over two months after the shuttle explosion, NASA searchers found 37 pages from Ramon's diary, wet and crumpled, in a field just outside the U.S. town of Palestine, Texas. The diary survived extreme heat in the explosion, extreme atmospheric cold, and then "was attacked by microorganisms and insects" in the field where it fell, said museum curator Yigal Zalmona."

I used to have a coin that said "It's a bug" on one side and "It's a feature" on the other side. Came in quite handy in defect triage meetings.
- Andy Roth
By the time it gets dressed up the bug probably has a few more legs ;)
- Mathieu Ayel
Bahaha, kind of reminds me of how WoW players talk about Bliz "Its not a bug; its a feature" and "Its working as intended!"
