Muslims invented the concept of zero. So it's ironic that people are opposed to building a mosque on ground zero. Even though it's not on ground zero. And it's not a mosque. Without the Muslims it would be ground one or something.

I might have gotten some of these wrong, please leave any corrections in the comments and I'll update...

Most bikes have adjustment barrels for the shifters right next to the shifters themselves. If you're riding along and you notice that one of the derailers is a little off, you should be able to twist the adjustment barrel a little bit to bring the derailer back in line.

I can never remember which way to turn the barrel to fix which kind of problem, and every now and then I spend some time to figure it out but because bicycle shifters are a wonderland of handednesses I can't ever remember, hence this article.

Fat people use more fuel

This supports the conclusions of my study estimating the carbon footprints of a bike rider who only eats cheeseburgers and a vegan who drives a high-efficiency car.

I'm not sure how I never thought of this before, but I've been having a really bad run of Yahtzee and was wondering what my lowest ever score has been. Probably something a little south of 150. 135 maybe?

The lowest possible Yahtzee score is 5 - you put five 1s in chance and conspire to score 0 in every other box.

But what's the lowest possible score you can get if you are playing in good faith?

If you rolled 1-1-2-2-3 for every roll, then you'd get

1:2
2:4
3:3
4:0
5:0
6:0
Bonus:0

Chance:9

I bought some pumpkin seeds in the airport from this fine company and they were quite nice - I like pumpkin seeds a lot, and these were cheaper and less covered in caramel than the other nuts available.

Reading the package I found a dubious health claim: "loaded with Omega 3's, 6's, 9's". Well, that's technically true, but with 47mg of Omega 3 and 5,326mg of Omega 6, the 3/6 ratio is about as awful as it could be.

I saw the world cup match between Mexico and France, and once Mexico scored their first goal I realized that I really wanted France to lose - because there would be a lot of whining.

So if you need to figure out who to root for in a sporting contest, you should always root for the team that, if they win, there will be more whining.

The first program you ever wrote was called Hello World

After a concert, we always have a pot luck where we sit around congratulating ourselves on how awesome we were.

After experiencing a number of these, I started to see the patterns in the Kudos, and I'd like to propose the beginnings of a universal taxonomy of Kudos.

General or Specific Self-congratulation

I/we did a really good job!

A specific aspect of my/our performance turned out great!

Unexpected General or Specific Self-Congratulation

I/someone else expected it would suck, but it ended up being great!
