Customer: “Excuse me, do you have an ‘ology’ section?”

Me: “Are you looking for biology, psychology, sociology?”

Customer: “No, just ‘ology’.”

Me: “I’m not sure what that is. Maybe you could explain it to me?”

Customer: “You know, speeches people give at funerals.”

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.

Krebs you got any dolphin photos? I used to put my bike through the fence over by the bull ring and ride up 1 or 1D just for a little while and then turn to ride through the barrios toward TJ Country Club. I used to see lots of seals and dolphins in the early am, just kind of catching waves or playing around w each other. I should have taken lots of photos, but I never thought it would end. Man was I wrong

No I've seen dolphins and whales when driving back and forth to town. I live in a bit of a cove and the whales stay pretty far out from my deck.

whats the wait line like at SY or Otay Mesa? I walked the foot bridge last time I went. I am not sure I have the stomach to wait in those lines anymore in a car. My normal ride up was before 9/11 and I could just roll up to the front on my bicycle. Nothing to declare and a quick show of ID and you were in. Used to go to some pretty cheap and nasty places in La Coahuila probably be killed nowdays

My last crossing at Otay was 3hrs. I got to get a Sentri Pass or RFID Passport Card. It's just brutal. They are expanding TJ and Otay but they're not to be finished till 2014

The knight can visit each square on a chess board exactly once

On a similar note, a riddle (from a new favorite, futilitycloset.com)

http://www.futilitycloset.com/2009/11/08/a-riding-tour/

Is it possible to move the knight from a1 to h8, visiting every square of the chessboard once?

The solution is hyperlinked in the original page.

I shouldn't be surprised but

Que le cheval vive en moi (May the horse live in me)

The French artistic duo has been exploring trans-species relationships and the questioning of scientific methods and tools for 20 years now. This time their work involved injecting Marion Laval-Jeantet with horse blood plasma. Over the course of several months, the artist prepared her body by allowing to be injected with horse immunoglobulins, the glycoproteins that circulate in the blood serum, and which, for example, can function as antibodies in immune response. The artist called the process "mithridatization", after Mithridates VI of Pontus who cultivated an immunity to poisons by regularly ingesting sub-lethal doses of the same.

In February 2011, having progressively built up her tolerance to the foreign animal bodies, she was injected with horse blood plasma containing the entire spectrum of foreign immunoglobulins, without falling into anaphylactic shock, an acute multi-system allergic reaction.

Horse immunoglobulins by-passed the defensive mechanisms of her own human immune system, entered her blood stream to bond with the proteins of her own body and, as a result of this synthesis, have an effect on all major body functions, impacting even the nervous system, so that the artist, during and in the weeks after the performance, experienced not only alterations in her physiological rhythm but also of her consciousness. "I had the feeling of being extra-human," explained the artist. "I was not in my usual body. I was hyper-powerful, hyper-sensitive, hyper-nervous and very diffident. The emotionalism of an herbivore. I could not sleep. I probably felt a bit like a horse.'
