B: Why is it that none of the hand towels in our apartment ABSORB WATER?
me: Because that isn’t their intended behavior.
B: ::looks at me skeptically::
me: They’re from IKEA; they’re meant to be decorative, not useful. If you want water-absorption, file a feature request.
B: But then I’ll have to pay for the upgrade!

Civilization showdown March 17, 2008
Today, I had a most edifying conversation with my good friend Erica. I was showing her the brackets for the March of Time Madness.
Me: Victorian Era or Enlightenment?
Her: Enlightenment, for sure!
Me: Elizabethan Era or Dark Ages?
Her: Elizabethans!
Me: Viking Era or Minoan Greece?
Her: Vikings!
Me: Nooooo! Minoan Greece!
Her: Dude, the Vikings buried their dead in FLAMING SHIPS!
Me: Dude, the Minoans had the MINOTAUR.
