I was reading up on some of the election issues this week, and I ran across the following in the Boulder Weekly. They asked each of thirteen candidates for city council five questions. The fifth one was, "What would you do if you found a prairie dog in your backyard?" Answers ranged from quoting from city statutes to saying they'd let their dog or another predator take care of the problem. However, my favorite answer, hands down is this one, from 62-year-old candidate George Karakehian:

Invite him in for a yoga session, then we'd share a cup of herbal tea, and politely ask him to practice safe sex, and zero population growth.

I couldn't stop laughing for several minutes after reading that one. so I thought I'd share.

I am back from National Space Symposium, in one piece, no less. Due to continuing madness, I haven't had a chance to write up my NSS stories (they are several, and they are good), but in the meantime, I will share with you the nerdiest joke I heard all week. If you never took a control systems class, you probably won't get it.

Q: A group of tourists from Warsaw are flying across the US. At one point, the pilot announces that they're passing over the Grand Canyon, which can be seen through the windows on the left. All the passengers get up to look out the windows, and the plane crashes. Why?

A: Too many Poles in the left half of the plane!

If that made sense, I dub thee "nerd".
