Chimina's Heroes

Here is a picture of my mom's Chihuaha. Her name is Chimina. Whenever there's another dog around, she completely and utterly flips out. But if you cover her eyes, she completely forgets about it.

I once read somewhere that a group of anthropologists got drunk at some point and decided that the Aztecs had actually invented Chihuahuas in order to eat them.

Ever since I read that, I've had this image stuck in my head of a cartoon version of Hogan's Heroes, where the prisoners are played by Chihuahuas. "Oh Guatemoc, you idiot! You don't solute him, he's your food!" And so forth.

Excel

I used to give middle schooler these weird exams. You'll never believe the part at the end!

Japanese

Back when I was a wee spry lad, I had the ability to spout reams of it without actually saying anything.

Nomad Science

I used to read a bunch of philosophy, and I love the old school demoscene, so when I started a high-concept software co-op, I made sure to name it after my favorite idea ever and play Purple Motion on the landing page. See it here!
