A final exchange with those prophets of FAIL, Paul and Victor.
Previously: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Robert,
Whether you score a 6 or a 60, without justification you have played the part of an antagonistic, caustic adversary. In other words, in the vernacular of our day, you are acting like an asshole. We don’t need a [...]

Today my inbox received another shining example of Christian Love from Paul Cohen. (Can you shine a turd?) Paul is second-in-command to “God’s anointed” and snake-oil huckster Victor Hafichuk. Paul also appears to be in charge of Victor’s Department of Failed Curses.
Our previous exchanges: Part 1 Part 2

Robert,
How is your tongue, now that your specified [...]

I have just added an awesome new entry to my Argument from Food post: The Argument from Pickle!

If you’re a Mac person who’s upgraded Mac OS X 10.5 (”Leopard”), you’ve encountered this snazzy opening video after you rebooted:

Severance:
The birds of leaving call to us,
Yet here we stand
Endowed with the fear of flight.
Overland
The winds of change consume the land,
While we remain
In the shadow of summers now past.
When all the leaves

You are afflicted with a congenital disease that is 70% or more likely to kill you: Aging.
Interested in a cure? Aubrey de Grey is working on one… or rather, a cocktail of several cures called SENS that will, when perfected (quite possibly within your lifetime) effectively reverse all the damage caused by aging, resulting [...]

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
