I got a D in that course. The professor was kind of a humourless douche.

for you, dear.

I'm sorry your professor didn't get the gag.

You dared touch a computer as one who knows while maintaining an individual personality? You were a risk to the entire technological idiom and had to be stopped!

I wasn't stopped, or even slowed down. My thesis for my AI course was an expert system written in LISP that drove buses. It would randomly stop at 7-11 for 5 minutes if some percentage of bus riders were in a hurry, slam on the brakes at yellow lights if people were standing up, and peel away from stops if passengers were running to catch it.

It was fucking eerie.

That's awesome!

I look forward to the day when you unleash your ghost buses on an unsuspecting populace.

excellent link, and like how they imply Jerry Lewis is a Bent Genius

"Lovecraftian fiction became increasingly popular in Europe, where the French embraced him as a bent genius, much as they embraced Edgar Allan Poe and would soon embrace Jerry Lewis. Lovecraft became especially popular with the French magazine Planète, which throughout the 1960s reprinted Lovecraft’s stories in French translation."

Aliens are racist against white people because they are secretly agents of the Darkie Satan who is against God.

No wonder all the Assassin's Creed games have that "WE'RE NOT RACIST!" warning in the beginning.

It has more to do with the fact that we still have enough archived evidence of how Romans and other folk built their huge structures than anything else. Even these incredibly stupid people know better than to try to argue when there's actual written evidence contradicting their claims. They only act in areas where questions can still be asked in a drive-by-shooting style.

Yeah, seventh grade me was obsessed with this in a pre-ironic way. I knew it was bullshit but I loved that it existed. It seemed so alien and exotic to me. I read every book on ghosts and monsters I could find, aliens just fit right in there.

Same here. Even now I like this stuff a lot, but there was never a time in my life when I actually fell for it.

I too love this stuff for its wild batshittery and spent a lot of my youth reading crazy as fast as I could get it. Thanks to poeTV I've slowly begun collecting the Unarius books when I see them at dirt malls and used book stores.

Stars are for the music. The music is great.
