I didn't quite mean that. I meant that looking at the distance difference and atmospheric difference, it doesn't make sense that the two planets could have any temperatures in common. What would Earth temps be like if it were in Mar's orbit? What would Earth temps be like if it had Mar's...

The images in the link surprised me. I didn't expect such intracate work. It looks like porcelain. Would be interesting to eat that. I'd like to see a contest between a 3D printer and a human confectionist by hand. Then I want to eat the results. *Y'ALL Bullgrit

I'm seeing a lot of photos of people wearing bathing suits out in the snow and ice, right now. And I just read a reference to the Polar Bear Club. This all brings up this question: Which temperature extreme are you more comfortable with? Can you withstand cold or heat better? I hate, hate...

About a month ago, my son was upset because of how a friend had treated him. The friend said something insulting to him, picking on him, and laughed. I don't remember what the statement was, but his other friends present at the time either laughed or made no reaction. The situation upset my son...

I just came across this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2N8kMbqsbI I had no idea what it was about other than exactly what I see in the video. Never heard of DayZ until looking it up on Wikipedia after seeing this. I love the Zombie Apocalypse genre, and FPS computer games, so this...

The original Super Size Me has been criticized by a lot of people for being fraudulent. A couple of other people went through Spurlock's claimed method and rules, and ended up with much less damning results. Check out the links in the Wikipedia article. For a humorous explanation, check out...

Yes, Warcraft III is a cheating bastard. My son and I teamed up against the computer on easy difficulty. The computer forces attacked my son first, and wiped him out. During that fight I just continued to build my army. A few minutes later, the computer forces came to my area, attacked, and...

Rich Burlew is a masterful story teller. Absolutely bravo! Bullgrit

Today I become the father of a teenager. God help me. http://www.totalbullgrit.com/blog/calfgrit-thirteen/ Any advice from you teen-experienced fathers? My son is a good boy, but I know the hormones are going to soon make him, (and me and his mother), crazy. I started playing D&D at 13 years...

Mars is about 50% further from the sun, with about 1% of Earth's atmosphere. It boggles my mind that temps anywhere on Earth could be like anywhere on Mars. Bullgrit

I just started to watch a video called, "Biggest Fails of 2013." The video was posted on a humor site, wo I assumed it would show funny fails. The first fail was a girl lying on a beach, getting a "sexy" photo taken, and then a wave came up and washed her over. She got up out of the water...

I've played D&D with around 20 other guys in the ~10 years I've had my mustache/goatee, and I think only 1 other fellow had the same. There was 1 guy with a full beard, and 1 guy with major side burns, but all the others were clean shaven. I work with over a dozen [not counting the 2 females]...

I'm a technical writer and editor. The blog and t-shirts are a side hobby/moonlighting for me. In college, I started with Computer Science, but half-way through switched to English. So technical writing/editing is a good use of both my majors. Am I happy doing it? I'm . . . ok with it...

I just did a Google search for "warcraft is a cheating bastard" and this thread pops up in the first page. That's pretty damn impressive. I didn't think Google could even process a new page that quickly. Bullgrit

My 12 year old son and I got Warcraft III Battlechest for Christmas, and we've been playing/learning it a bit this weekend. We've only played 1.5 games against each other so far -- he won once, our LAN disconnected once. But we've both played against the computer maybe half a dozen times each...

I just shaved off my mustache and goatee. It's something I do about once a year or two. Every time I've done it, I hate the way my face looks. I think my face is so incredibly boring without some kind of beardishness. So I'll immediately let it grow back out. In a week, I'll look back to normal...

Thinking about this, and reading some of the answers, it reallly shows how much so many comic characters have changed, backward and forward and in all directions over the years. To name my favorite superhero(s), I feel the need to qualify, to narrow down the era I know them from. Sort of like...

I posted this review on my blog. Viewed: Theater I originally read The Hobbit some 30 years ago. I recently read The Hobbit to my boys a few years ago over a few weeks as bedtime reading. They liked the story, and we as a family have been excited to see the movies together. Especially after...

I've never been drunk. I probably haven't consumed enough alcohol over the course of my entire life to fill a 12 oz beer can. I've never even had an urge or curiosity about it. I've seen people drunk, I've seen people passed out drunk. When I was young, lots of friends got drunk, and I heard...

Just saw this last night with my family, (wife, son 12, son 9). I and my boys liked it, but the wife thought it was too violent for the 9 year old. I agree in that I wouldn't have taken him had I known the extensive war scenes, but he seems to have handled it just fine. I didn't like the first...
