Rasputin was this weird mystical dude who had mystical powers over the last Tsarina of Russia. He had this weird scraggly beard, too; unfortunately the prop that I used had hair too thick so it’s not realistic. (It was a rental so I couldn’t rip out half the hairs as I would have liked.)
This guy is kind of mysterious. He was supposedly some combination of mystic, priest, healer, hypnotist, manipulator. Pretty much a perfect topic for the late-night Coast to Coast radio program with George Noory.
During WWI, Rasputin claimed that the Russian army would not win unless Tsar Nicholas II took command of the army. That was pretty much asking for it because the Tsar didn’t know anything about that stuff. But maybe he just wanted more power, ’cause he exerted an undue influence on the Tsarina while Nick was at the front. And got more power.
To make a long story short, a lot of people didn’t like him, and he got assassinated.
Your decision to incorporate airlines in your emissions trading scheme (ETS) is vaguely unrealistic. Please note oil is over $140/barrel. We at the airlines are currently trying every trick possible to use less fuel. We really, really want to cut emissions because it will help us not go bankrupt.
Now, if the goal of ETS is simply forcing airlines to either cut even more flights or go out of business…well, that would certainly reduce emissions, and I can’t fault its efficiency.
For those of you who consider Liquid Egg Product a primary source for world news, I apologize for being a little lax recently. However, rest assured that I continue to keep an eye out for relevant, engaging topics.
The strangely addicting Desktop Tower Defense has provided us with several hours of distraction, strategy pondering, and joy. The egg and I have been fiercely battling for the highest score. While I was the first to beat normal difficulty, the Mascot’s edged me out in score…but he hasn’t had the GUTS to try Hard!
If you want to boast of your ability, submit your score and enter “Liquid Egg” (without quotes) for the group name when it asks.
Once I get the rest of the results, I’ll do the crosstable. Has drunknknite become “The Bye” of the Alex Chiu division? He hasn’t updated his blog in a while and I hadn’t heard that he played either of the first two games.
If you tried to visit late Saturday and most of Sunday, you saw some placeholder page that said the domain liquideggproduct.com had expired. As it turns out, Management had entered an incorrect address for the credit card when trying to renew the domain name.
Fortunately, someone else in the Company noticed, re-submitted billing information, and renewed the domain for 5 years.
Next time, I hope someone competent and responsible will be placed in charge of such matters.
\n in the middle of a simple select * query? That’s just weird, man.
(Besides that it’s not particularly good form to use select * in the first place. Although it’s not good form on my part for not responding to most of your comments–will do tonight.)

I have inherited the database. Unfortunately because the date field is
of type varchar, there exist some incorrect dates, so I need to clean up
the data….You will feel a slight shift in the Force when I have rectified the
datatype error.
I’m in this situation! Except I don’t have time to make all the necessary changes to the code. It would be much appreciated to withhold any snide comments such as, “The real WTF is that you’re using MySQL.”
