Letterman: The economy is so bad that today, Dick Cheney was waterboarding his stockbroker.

“True empathy is a selfish act, not a favor done on someone else’s behalf. You don’t try to understand people because you expect something in return—the understanding is the return.”

“I know my name is fake and that it annoys you. What, do you hate Queen Latifah and Rip Torn, too? Writers and entertainers have been using pseudonyms for years. Chances are, you’re spewing bile under an assumed screen name yourself. I’m sorry if you think I’m like some inked-up quasi-Suicide Girl derby cunt from 2002, but I like my fake name. It’s engraved on an Oscar. Yours isn’t.
… That said, I’m a 30-year-old woman with a dwindling interest in blog culture, and I don’t have time to address this bullshit every time one of my projects comes out. I’m in love, I just bought a house, and my boss made E.T. I kind of have to focus on reality.

Indifference in an elevator
So, I spent some time this morning stuck in an elevator. I don’t know if you’ve ever had this experience, but it’s seriously unpleasant.
feinsodville describes his experience being in a stuck elevator. While annoying, it was thankfully uneventful, but clearly created a lingering upset. I can sympathize.
I’ve had two elevator experiences. One short, one long.
The long one sucked. During a stint as a bike messenger I was stuck in an officer tower elevator near the 50th floor for about an hour. I was soaked because it was raining and cold because of the industrial freezer type air conditioning these large office towers always have cranking. It was just me and two business men. They weren’t speaking loudly in German, but they clearly didn’t want to be there, especially with the grungy bike messenger leaving a huge puddle on the floor. No one sat, because after about 15 minutes there was no dry place to sit. The elevator never moved, but we contacted the building staff through the intercom. I told them how many of us were in the elevator and gave them our names, which wasn’t real encouraging. There was no fear, just annoyance. My only real concerns were that time in the elevator was costing me $$ and hypothermia, because I was soaking wet and it was about 40 degrees in the elevator. The elevator started up without further incident, we all got off on the ground floor and I went about my business.
The short one sucked more. The elevator fell. Far. During college, two friends and I were riding an elevator to the ground floor in one of the taller dorms. After some other occupants got out on an upper floor, the doors closed, the elevator jerked hard and then dropped about 6 floors. It stopped sharply. After a brief pause the inner doors opened, but the outer doors didn’t. A few seconds later the doors closed and the elevator continued to the ground floor at a more normal rate of speed. We got out and notified the building staff what happened. I’m pretty sure I spent the rest of the semester taking the stairs.

What’s the difference between a million, a billion, a trillion?
A million seconds is 13 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
A million minutes ago was - 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago.
A billion minutes ago was just after the time of Christ.
A million hours ago was in 1885.
A billion hours ago man had not yet walked on earth.
A million dollars ago was five (5) seconds ago at the U.S. Treasury.
A billion dollars ago was late yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Treasury.That certainly puts things into perspective.
