#4: The Larch

Not really. Philip had this cool post (he got it from somewhere else, but follow his link) called What Tree Are You?

You look up your birthday and then look up your tree. Sound easy enough?

Now I’m not really a Larch, I’m:

Hazelnut Tree (Extraordinary) — charming, sense of humor, very demanding but can also be very understanding, knows how to make a lasting impression, active fighter for social causes and politics, popular, quite moody, sexually oriented, honest, a perfectionist, has a precise sense of judgment and expects complete fairness.

Isn’t that a hoot!?

Is that a computer in your lap or are you glad to see me?

CBS News | Laptops A Male Fertility Risk? | December 9, 2004�11:57:49: “Balancing laptop computers on the lap raises the scrotum’s temperature, say researchers including Yefim Sheynkin, MD, FACS, of the urology department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

About 15-20 percent of couples that want to get pregnant aren’t able to conceive. Many of those cases trace back to issues relating to the male. Gradually declining sperm production has been noted in recent decades, say the researchers.

Elevated scrotal temperatures have been linked to male infertility. Many factors can raise scrotal temperature, including hot baths, saunas, and tight jockey shorts.”

Since this is pretty much a non-issue for me, I’m still dying to get a laptop for my wife for Christmas. Like I would get to use it, anyway.

Anybody know where the best deals are? Or should I just get a Dell?

Thursday Q and A

There is no way I can compete with the likes of half naked Thursday, so I’m not even going to try. So here’s my lame-o Q&A for today:

Q: How many steps is it from your desk to the men’s room?
A: 44.

A: Ask me why I know this.
Q: Do I really want to know?

crickets chirping

Q: You’ve been eating raisins again, haven’t you.
A: I can’t help it! They are a healthy and nutritious fruit snack!

Q: I really didn’t need to know this.
A: Well, too bad. It’s my blog and I’ve got nothing else to talk about at the moment. So thbbbt! If there were better questions, I might answer them!
