Randomness

[Bookworm]

Another random thing. I saw a car today that had a little sing "Risa" on it. I don't know if it was the name of the car model or what, but you can guess what was the first thing that came to my mind
Another thing if it's the name of the car model then it's a bit stupid name here in Finland.
Friend: "Mikä auto sinulla on?" Translation "What car do you have?
Car owner: "Autoni on Risa." Translation "My car is Risa"
Friend: "Ikävä kuulla, mikä siinä on vikana? " Translation "Sorry to hear that, what's wrong with it?"
If you didn't guess Risa means broken in Finnish.

[Distracted]

Maybe the car was broken and someone labeled it as such.

Here's my new backpack

Very nice. Is this a successful Amazon purchase?

[TPoptarts]

Yep

This is very cool:

Cool! I guess I can see why they'd need that Verteron Array.

(Which my kid and I originally thought was the Bergeron Array, named in honor of one of the guest stars...)

[Asso]

Hey!Very cool!

I kind of want a pet platypus. A female, 'cause males have poisonous spurs. (Yes, I know it would be a bad thing for the platypus. I didn't say I'm actually going to try to sneak one home with me when I leave. I settled for a little stuffed one.)

The Sydney Aquarium dimmed the lighting around the platypus so it was hard to photograph, but this little creature is absolutely adorable!

[Escriba]

Ah! So I suppose your trip to Sydney has been satisfactory?

[JadziaKathryn]

More than satisfactory, it was excellent! I climbed to the Pylon Lookout of the Harbour Bridge (starting to remember to put the u in), took a day trip to the Blue Mountains where I got to hand-feed King Parrots and see gorgeous scenery, stood in the Pacific Ocean, took in a great museum, shopped, saw the Australian Ballet in the Sydney Opera House, went to the Sydney Aquarium, and explored a replica of Cook's Endeavour. These among other things.

Hey, an Aquatic!

Don't forget that this Sunday is Geek Pride Day!

[Alelou]

I went to the site. Kinda cool, though alas I am not a geek, just a nerd.

Douglas Adams died? I didn't know that.

Douglas Adams died? I didn't know that.

Dude. Even I knew that and I don't even read.
