I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?
Submitted by The BlueTie.

4 cows, 5 ducks. Duh.

QotD: Looking Back...

What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.

Tough call. Probably the bit before I turned 6, back when I didn't know how weird I was.

Other than that, there's really nothing I'd want to have back to do over until senior year of high school, which I hardly think can be considered "childhood".

QotD: It's Monday Already?

nobody@vox.com(Rube Burrow) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 10:09:49 -0700

What was the best thing about your weekend?

Discovering that the new Irish pub is legit. Also, the fact that the weekend started at lunchtime on Friday is not to be sneezed at.

QotD: The iPhone 3G is Here!

nobody@vox.com(Rube Burrow) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:44:55 -0700

Are you going to be amongst the first people to buy the iPhone 3G? If so, when do you plan on picking yours up and which one will you be purchasing?

No need. Unless you have a compelling need for 3G coverage or GPS specifically, the existing iPhone with the firmware upgrade should do you just fine. Does for me - but then, I do live in Silicon Valley, home of pervasive free Wi-Fi, which is far faster than 3G most of the time. And since I rarely leave, what do I need the GPS for?

But if you don't have one, now's the time to buy, certainly.

QotD: The Best Reward of All...

nobody@vox.com(Rube Burrow) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:59:31 -0700

How and when do you reward yourself?
Submitted by Rainbird.

Is that supposed to be some kind of euphemism?

Actually, yeah, I do have a bad habit of buying whatever I think I need to, whenever I feel like it. Normally I have at least some cursory justification, or keep it low enough that it's not a huge amount of money, or do something like "at least I'm not blowing it on cigars or booze anymore" - but I fritter away more cash than I really should on just nothing, especially when I should be saving because stuff keeps going up and up and up (esp. gas).

How long do you take in the shower?
Submitted by Strive2Be.

Long as it takes. Depends on how my back is and whether it needs heat to sort it out.

Wrestlemania is over, ass clowns

nobody@vox.com(Rube Burrow) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:38:53 -0700

I know this is hard for the mouth-breathing jerky-eating yahoos who worship Stone Cold Steve Austin to understand, but let me see if I can simplify it:

We're the good guys. That means we play by the rules, no matter how cool it might seem to be some heel Texas redneck who flips people off and does whatever he can get away with just because some cousin-fuckers will cheer loud.

The real world is nothing like the WWE. That half of America can't grasp that says more about America than it does about the real world.

QotD: Tomorrow's Daydream

nobody@vox.com(Rube Burrow) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:03:34 -0700

If you could do anything you want tomorrow, what would it be?
Submitted by Becca-Pink.

Anything I want? Anything at all?

Quit my job, collect my wife, and get on a plane for Heathrow. (Business class pls.) Two weeks walking the Cotswold Way would suit me right down to the proverbial ground.
