funny

Sometimes, something just makes you laugh

Today, it was this book (and its cover), which was highlighted in a BookBub newsletter I got this morning:

The full title is 3000 Orgasms: How I Went from a Sexless Marriage to a Multi-Orgasmic Wonderland.

I am happy for Rebecca and her (strangely specific) multitude of orgasms. I worked it out and at one orgasm per day, that’s about 8.2 years of daily orgasms (not accounting for leap years). In that light, it doesn’t actually seem like that much.

Well, maybe daily orgasms is being greedy. What if it’s just one colossally amazing orgasm per week? That works out to nearly 154 years (not accounting for leap years), which, given current life expectancy, seems a bit unrealistic.

OK, daily is too much, weekly is too little. Maybe twice a week? Frisky Friday and Torrid Tuesday, perhaps. That works out to just under 77 years of orgasms. Unless you live to be very old or start your shared orgasming very young, this seems like a very generous length of time. But you know what? Let’s call it 2.5 per week instead. I’m not doing the math for that, but it should result in a pretty reasonable stretch of time before one retires to knitting and watching TV or holoscreens or whatever we’ll have for mindless entertainment in the future.

All right, that’s enough math for me this week. Enjoy your orgasms, everyone!

Time to pick on engadget again!

engadget has actually improved its design enough over the last few years that I’m perfectly fine with it now, and the content is good enough that I check it every day.

Still, these two items in their Back to School Guide 2018 were within close proximity of each other, I don’t own either console and still know the highlighted statement is rather incorrect even before looking at the listed prices. Anyway, it’s a little funny. I wish the Switch was cheaper (it’s $400 in Canada).

The price gap is actually even higher here in Canada-ville.

Funny hats and cats

There are some things you can search for using Google and pretty much guarantee the results will not disappoint. One is “funny hats”. Observe:

I especially like the use of the drawstrings as legs.

The alt-text on this one would have to be “butt head”.

These are two examples. There are millions more. I am not kidding. The phrase “funny hats” yields over 450 million results. I don’t know what this means about our world but it simultaneously delights and depresses me.

And then there is perhaps the most-searched term on Google: cats (551 million results).

But cats alone, while adorable, is a bit plain for a search. “Funny cats” on the other hand yields 378 million hits, including these:

Funny cats 1

Note that nearly every image of a cat with a caption is incredibly unfunny, almost as if by design. This is about 377,999,950 of the images by my rough estimate.

Again, I’m not sure what the takeaway is here. We have a treasure trove of material on the web and the means to find virtually all of it instantly and vast amounts of this material and related searches consists of things like funny hats and cats.

In conclusion, I leave you with this, a cat wearing a funny hat:

The hat’s not really that funny but cats apparently do not take to goofy headgear the same way people do. Probably because of all the clawing and biting.
