Diner: I was here thirty years ago and had the best beer I’ve ever tasted, anywhere in the world. <pause> This is the worst.
Waiter: I’m sorry, sir, I can’t do anything about that. It’s Budweiser.

April 1 Roundup
Collecting some good April Fools jokes:
- NPR: New England Suffers Maple Woes
- Water on Mars (via the Esoteric Science Research Center)
- Star Wars Holiday Special released on DVD (via Slashdot)
- My own Googolplex Theaters
- Other round-ups at CNET, at Slashdot, at Urgo, and at Wikipedia
Googolplex: a virtual reality movie theater
Here’s an interesting idea: Googolplex Theaters creates a virtual reality movie theater so that, effectively, everyone gets their own screen.
Of course, once you simulate a screen in VR, why stop there? You’ve already got 3-D in the display, and between the backlog of 3D movies and a decade or so of computer animation, there are a lot of possibilities.
Unusual Flash Sighting
I noticed this SUV as I got on the freeway after work. We apparently kept pace with each other, because it was there on the off-ramp as well. It was then that I noticed something red on the back:
Yes, a plush Flash doll was jammed into the trailer hitch!
Hazard Construction?
Here’s a photoblog flashback. This picture was taken in 1999, so I assume the project has long since been completed:
Something about the combination of “Hazard” and “Cannon Road” seemed…apropos. And somewhat ironic when considered in light of construction.
(I did find one Hazard Construction Company on Google. I assume this is them, since they’re based in the right county.)
