"There's a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician."
Going onto the IMDb today, I saw a link at the top that said "Preview IMDb's new look".
So I clicked on the link and, boy howdy, is this ever a revamp!
I can barely recognize it anymore!

From the mouths of pastors...
Daily Kos has an excellent post up right now about the growing number of Christians seeking to break away from the Conservative Christian movement. Surprisingly, a quote from Rick Warren summarizes the truth about why we need separation of Church and State:
This is as eloquent and concise argument as I have ever heard. What is more, it is coming from the mouth of someone that lots of people actually listen to which, as Kos explains, is probably why groups such as the Family Research Council are pissed off about it.
Mr. Warren, if I had a direct opposite of the "Skippy of the Day" award to give you, I would. You do your nation a great service.
"I'm worried that evangelicals be identified too much with one party or the other. When that happens, you lose your prophetic role of speaking truth to power," Warren said. "And you have to defend stupid things that leaders do."
"Politics is always downstream from culture. I place less confidence in it than a lot of folks. I don't think that's the answer... . Politics is not the right tool to change the culture."

I actually have a goatee, but it's close enough.
Just for the hell of it, here's the picture I took recently for my new Facebook profile:
Billy and Frank
(Billy and Frank shake hands)
Frank: "Man, you got some lovely hands here. Do you moisturize?"
Billy: "I'm sorry?"
Frank: "You know, I've tried all sorts of moisturizers. I even went fragrance free for a whole year. (Frank squeezes Billy's hand) Now my sister, she uses some kind of uh... uh... uh... uh... aloe vera with a little sunscreen in it, and ideally, we should all wear gloves when going to bed, but I found out that that creates a kind of an interference with my... social agenda, you know what I mean. Plus, I react to the camphor. So I'm not into the traditional remedies..."
Billy: "Let me tell you something. If you could pay cash... I could drop that down to seven-- (Frank squeezes Billy's hand harder) Sixteen each."
Frank: "No?"
Billy: "Yes, sir."
Frank: "You'd do that?"
Billy: "Yes, sir."
Frank: (Frank lets go of Billy's hand) "That'd be lovely. They told me to see you."
