A quick update before I get back to work (on bio)

A neat link from Nathan: http://www.googlewhack.com/ Try to find a pair of words (both recognized by dictionary.com) which (without quotes) turns up only 1 hit on google. It doesn't count if it's just a wordlist. (But, if you get n matches, and n-1 of them are wordlists... well, it still doesn't count. That's the rules.) Then record it at googlewhack.com. The Whack Stack itself isn't indexed by google, so it won't interfere. I found "bescumber litmus".

May as well say it

I have no gmail invites. Does anybody want them?

I'm surprised, I didn't think 6 player Carc would work so well

Nick brought over his Über-Carc set. Carc, rivers, inns&cathedrals, king&scout (but without the scout). King and scout has what we call "the crazy tile".

"What's the crazy tile?" Mickey asked. "You'll see the crazy tile", we said.

"Haha, that's a crazy tile," someone said. "Yeah, but it's not *the* crazy tile," I said. "What's the crazy tile?" Mickey asked. "You'll see the crazy tile," we said.

Kevin draws the crazy tile. "It's the crazy tile!" we shout. "Let me see it!" says Mickey. "No!"

(Of course obviously he ends up seeing it, as he kind of has to, but still...)

Oh, and Halo 2 is amazing.

ADDENDUM: Apparently my name is now "Steve". Or at least Nick is calling me that.

...I suppose I'm glad I didn't try to get someone to replace Chris, or we just would have been playing Diplomacy all night...
