Apparently the Japanese have a Bear that can twirl sticks and baseball bats.... I can't wait to see him with Nunchucks... http://video.nbc4.com/player/?id=254281
Ok... so walking into the Death Note theatre.... my friends looked at me like wtf did you get us into... needless to say it looked alot like an anime con... Now back to the movie... it was ok... it would have been way better subtitled instead of Engrish Dubbing...
Google trends is one of those things that with a bit of imagination and zing.. you can generate some pretty hilarious comparisons... for instance... here is a mashup of Global Warming vs Marijuana.... maybe its just me... but I see some pretty convincing correlation between the two pre-mid 2006 =p....
So I was sitting in my Options and Futures class... and it came to me that maybe... just maybe when Solar energy is tractable and completely ubiquitous.... that we will see trading in futures of sunlight... in the same way that the price of energy is based on the price of coal for instance... i'm imagining this analogy will hold for solar energy. For instance... I can see solar speculators tracking the internal fluid dynamics of the sun to determine when the 'big one', a monster solar flare will hit... which will result in a huge surplus of radiant energy.... or maybe some Mr. Burns will build a huge reverse Dyson Sphere of some sort and corner the market on incident solar goodness....
well anyway.... the next thought is getting Tim to do his Angry Money spot... or maybe the website for kyle's dog island.
