Wordcount

Wordcount is, according to its “About” page:

WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in
the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently
used English words, ranked in order of commonality. Each word is
scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede
and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger
the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon
it is.

“Accordion” is the 31,327th most-used word, just behind “prewar” and ahead of “finery”.

When did “Newman” lose all the weight?

Here’s the Wayne Knight I remember:

And now he looks like this:

Notice the missing 117 pounds.

The question is: will he still get acting roles? The “fat guy” schtick
was, if you’ll pardon the expression, his bread and butter.

Fictional Spiders from Both Sides of the War

There: Allah Sent Spiders to Defeat the Americans

Sheik Sumide’i: They [the Americans] attacked Falluja and tried to cause great damage to its residents.
They destroyed mosques and homes,
killed women, children, and youths,
and spread corruption in Falluja.
Nevertheless, we believe that Allah protects the believers,
and indeed, Allah stood beside Falluja,
and I’d like to mention some miracles
Allah performed in Falluja.
It is possible that the media
does not know about them.

The first miracle that
occurred in Falluja
took the form of spiders
that appeared in the city –
each spider larger than this chair,
or about the size of this chair.
The American soldiers left,
holding the legs of this spider,
and I too, in one of the Friday
sermons, held up a spider,
with all its magnitude, in front of the satellite channels and in front of the world.
This spider also had thin black hair.
If this hair touches the human body,
within a short period of time
the body becomes black or blue,
and then there is an explosion
in the blood cells
in the human body –
and the person dies.

This is one of the miracles performed in support of Falluja,
and the Jihad that took place in Falluja.
Despite the damage done
to the American forces…

Interviewer: The people saw it, but the TV
stations did not air it?

Here: The Spiders

A web comic in which the U.S. military,
under President Al Gore utilizes robotic spiders controlled by American
internet users to monitor and perform psy-ops on the Taliban.

In spite of the slightly just out-of-reach tech and “ecstast bombs”, it’s more plausible than the Iraqi sheikh story. The Spiders is currently on hiatus, but still an interesting read.

It Happened to Me

Now all I have to do is get onto the Accordionist deck of cards and my work here will be done

Somebody made me a square on HacksRUs’ “Haxor Bingo” page. Thanks to a
nickname and the magic of alphabetical order, I’m the first square.

By the bye, it’s spelled accordion.

Busking Gig Tomorrow

It’s probably a bad idea to busk at a place where you can buy fruits and vegetables (think about it for a moment),
but my friend Brenda has booked me to play accordion at the Parkdale
Liberty Farmer’s Market
between noon and 2 p.m. tomorrow. Great tunes
and healthy produce will abound.
