Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

-  I have the sense of humor of a 12-year old boy. (HT The View from Lady Lake)

- Interesting - The World's Top 50 Endowment Funds. Stanford overtaking Harvard shows how the power of Silicon Valley has overtaken old money influence.

- And just like that - Florida and Texas added Portland Maine to the list of cities they'll be busing illegal immigrants to. (HT Feral Irishman)

- Heh Heh - this is great! Reminds me of how a guy made lots of money by simply selling generic toilet paper by naming it Shit Be Gone.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Perspective - the history (and scope) on pandemics through the ages

- Military wants to replace the Reaper drone. It went from the Predator drone to the Reaper drone but if the next drone is named the Terminator drone then I might be a bit queasy.

- Heh Heh

- The dirty secret of coaxial cable broadband

- I've said it before - Randy Quaid is a guilty pleasure

- Wait - Franz Kafka was a workout nut? Who knew?

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

One potential silver lining to the Wuhan virus is hopefully this crisis will finally convince places to get rid of their air hand dryers in bathrooms for the more hygienic traditional paper towels... Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters postpone their tour with the most Foo Fighters announcement possible... I think the run on toilet paper is clear proof of the Patriarchy. Every grocery store I've been to these past two weeks the toilet paper aisle is decimated meanwhile you go over to the tampon aisle - fully stocked! It's not the women who are panic stocking up on non-perishables... Heh Heh... Out - people stealing towels from hotels. In - people stealing the extra roll of toilet paper in hotel bathrooms... Good advice from C.S. Lewis...
