'These are the same jerk-offs who I used to FAIL when I was teaching them in grad school!'

Nice Deb noted this at AOSHQ in September: "Not all "downfall" videos are created equal, and I've seen some pretty weak ones; this one, however made me lol ..."

She's talking about the "
Frogger Gate" Downfall spoof. It is excellent, although I just found another, a bottom, at Duck of Minerva, on the scientific peer review process. Since Charles Johnson's so big on science (except when the facts end up being inconvenient truths), I thought the two might make a good dyad for comparative analysis (this one's a little more inside baseball, and thus especially good if you're an academic):

Sometimes foreign languages can be tricky, Donald! :-)

I found myself recently involved in a discussion with whore members on Twitter.

After a while a found out it was not whore members but who remembers.

I made the mistake since it was spelled whoremembers....

Thanks Donald! :-)

Most of my patients thought so too, when I worked at hospitals in Sweden 20 years ago. :-)

But I was better at repairing broken oxygene machines than saving them...
