I'm reading "Stiff" by Mary Roach. It's really, really good, like laugh out loud good. Plus, informative!

Up until a couple centuries ago, it was thought that not only could certain men experience monthly blood loss (through the anus or other, more unusual ways) but that it was beneficial, encouraging fertility and longevity.

:)
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Well, you do indeed learn something new every day. I was under the impression that if a man bleeds regularly from his anus, he just might be carrying around some colon cancer.

Empire by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt (ECH recommendation).  Very interesting, might post more on this later once I've had the time to assimilate it.

Categories by Aristotle.  Getting my philosophy on.

Computer Security and Cryptography by Wiley.  Inspired by Cory Doctorow's Little Brother to make sure my computer wont be used against me (come the revolution).

i just acquired some Aristotle myself. A translation of ON MAN IN THE UNIVERSE.

It has a really interesting part on metaphysics.

really cool!

Aristotle was a rube.

Cicero is where it's at.

TGRR,
Knows Romans pwn Greeks.  169%.
" It's just that Depeche Mode were a bunch of optimistic loveburgers."

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Hume > everyone.

That said, I haven't read any Aristotle in ages, so I may as well give it a go over again.

Reading "Unholy Spirits" by Gary North at the suggestion of Cain. I dove into it knowing absolutely nothing about Mr. North and his crazy beliefs.  This thing is like a massive trainwreck.  I'm only on page 26 and I've already busted 3 Irony Meters. 

His overall thesis so far seems to be: the damned-dirty hippies (especially The Beatles) are to blame for the rise of both occultism and humanism in the United States, the occultism has started to corrupt our universities and is harming science and OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE!!!, the best way to save Western Civilization is to reject occultism and go back to the old mythology of Christianity. 

I don't think that there is any way I'll be able to finish this thing because the amount of horrormirth has been overwhelming so far.  Damn you, Cain!!!   :argh!:
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

This book sounds ridiculous. I think I want to read it!
