Neat trick

This video was created by overlaying 1000 plays of a racing video game, to show the range of possible play sequences all at once.

Home sweet Kwik Trip

There's a Kwik Trip about two miles north of our place on 494. It's only the 2nd one I know of in the TC Metro - the other being down in Eagan or thereabouts. They're all over Rochester, and they have no-fee ATMs, so finding one so nearby was nice. What I didn't expect was that sort of nostalgic feeling one gets when experiencing a familiar comfort that one has lost. It kind of creeped me out at first, but then I just figured, wtf, I'll just roll with it.

What!?

I'll be brief:
"UFO Hunters" on the History Channel (which has pretty much hit the same quality of programming the TLC achieved long ago)....
Two people, allegedly contacted by aliens.
One of them has a rare blood abnormality.
How can we prove that there's a connection between them, and therefore they really are being contacted by aliens?
... wait for it:
Blood tests for both. If both people have the same blood abnormality, BAM! Aliens are real, and they're visiting Earth to conduct anal probes.

Oh, and even better: Close the show with a reference to Voyager I.

And then, a program that opens with the following (I paraphrase):
The following program provides theories about an historical event that is shrouded in mystery. We use reenactments, dramatizations, and old tyme footage (can you tell which is which?) to provide information, and then you, the American public, with your 5th-grade education and your pear-sharp wit, can draw your own conclusions.

[EDIT]
I'd like to add that Stanton Friedman is one of the freakiest looking guys I've ever seen, and may serve as evidence of an alien-human hybrid operation.

I'm trying to visualize...

a Jehovah's Witness dressed up like a blood transfusion.

Seen on a t-shirt

Saw a girl on campus yesterday wearing a t-shirt that said:
Don't make me think
it hurt's too much

Srsly.
