On today’s episode of Nerds of a Feather (Podcast available here), I discussed:

- The perils of ingesting too many Kangaroo tacos after a bout of gastro!

- The Back to the Future hoverboard on ebay, much to the delight of Lindsay! No luck convincing Marieke or Robbie that it actually hovers, though.

- In gadget news, a frustrated (and inebriated) man who shot his robotic son! Or lawnmower. It’s called Lawn Boy, come on!

- The origin of the “richter scale”, as told by a caffeine-deprived nerd (me)!

- The Death of Estelle Getty and my impending Death Knight tribute!

- A dating show for 43,000 year old plants! …Well, sort of.

- And of course, the story about how a high school kid’s principal was sent a disgruntled and hilarious letter by the guild he ripped off!

As an addendum, all ended well (more or less) in this last situation. The item, which binds on equipping, was apparently returned by the good folks at Blizzard. Hopefully the whole sordid affair is now at a close, and we can all laugh heartily, do some interprative dance and ride a pink horse. I feel lightheaded.

DAMN YOU, KANGAROO TACOS!!
