if it's worth doing...

"If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing."

- the narrator of MythBusters during yesterday's episode where the gang went to Moffet Air Base's BIG zeppelin hangar to prove it is possible to fold a square piece of paper more than seven times, provided said sheet is 200 feet on each side, and provided that you have a steamroller with you.

Wow!

You can say that again. Since there is no roll of paper that's 200 feet wide. They had to take the widest rolls they could find, unspool them side by side, and tape the edges together. Still, it was worth it, if only to watch Kari Banyon expertly running the steamroller over the growing stack. (Of course, it's worth it to watch Kari Banyon no matter what.)

I never seem to have much time to watch television these days, alas.

How's the Project from Hell?

I was rather prtial to the gang's grasemonkey, but Scottie isn't on the show anymore.

The PfH currently is a tad less infernal. For now.

Ah well, what can I say?

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

That's good.

Besides NOT pointing out that the post you responded too had two typos? You could say that I obviously am not blind.

You obviously are not blind, Serge!!!
