Or something much worse!

Even though he's shy, he has a wicked sense of humor and a very acerbic tongue. He just makes sure the main recipient is out of earshot, especially when they are grading him.

Didn't the boss revoke your Geek card for being on a trapeze without screaming?

Actually, contrariness aside, the original movie ("Episode 4" AKA "Star Wars: A New Hope") is quite good. I would recommend watching the unaltered version, however, not the silly re-release. (The extra ground traffic in scenes was cute, but changing certain events, not so much.)

Really. It was a good movie. I promise I won't tell anyone you've seen it.

The other two "original" movies were ok. I liked the ending of the third one ("Episode 6")

I could not, in good conscience, recommend any of the "new" movies ("Episodes 1-3"). They could have been great, if not crippled by gross commercial pandering and absurd casting. One blog I used to follow actually published instructions for how to fast-forward to the "good" bits, reducing the time for the whole trilogy down to about 1 regular movie length. If such an edited version were made available, I'd probably buy and watch it, as there was some cool stuff in there.

Plus, the "Robot Chicken" Star Wars parody won't really make sense until you've seen the original movies, and that's a real motivator.

Even though Zack is a computer engineering major and certified geek (he received his membership card along with his caffeinated shower gel from ThinkGeek), he has no interest in seeing the movies.

....3 & 4 here ....

I humbly stand corrected.

I think my cube mate gave me swine flu. She went off to DC with her daughter and sister, all 3 came back with horrible hacking coughs and assorted icky symptoms. Today I'm coughing and feel "tight." Avenge my death!

badgoodDeb · 06-16-2009, 04:45 PM

Aiiayiiayiiay! I'm on it. I'll avenge your death, my lady.

Leave your cube mate's name and address on a small shred of paper tucked under your pillow. When you're gone, we'll be sure to find them and beat them with Grandma's stick. In the meantime, drink one ZCD and two chocolate treats every hour. You should be dead by morning.

(hope you're better soon)

Thanks! I'll scribble a little something for you both in my will.

Ok corrected that. Now:

If we assign Death a numerical value based on total of all day in all of time/days lived. We will call that : D
Then life can be based on the total number of breath taken /years of life : L

Your death average would be D/L

vivaldirules · 06-16-2009, 04:56 PM

I'm pretty she DG would prefer a more complete statistical treatment of her death, don't you? She's hardly "average", huh? How about at least a standard deviation and kurtosis?

I was thinking along the lines of average death but what an exceptional life
