the internet is really really great...

[jaina]

It's somehow comforting to know that whatever random question pops into my head, Mr. Internet can answer it for me. For instance, I was curious about the Battlestar Galactica rank structure. (It was an offshoot of a train of thought involving SG-1, Star Trek, and real-life Army and Navy ranks.) I mean, you think "Commander Adama," and all the fighter-pilot Lieutenants, so, okay, Navy. But then you have Colonel Tigh and Captain Adama-- a much lower rank than Commander-- which is more Air Force/Army/Marines, and it was hurting my brain. So like a good little Internet addict, I flip open my laptop, type "rank in Battlestar Galactica" into Google, and the first thing that pops up is an entry on that very subject in Ron Moore's official blog. And my question is answered in under fifteen seconds.

The Internet: not just for porn anymore!

It was never just for porn.

It was always mostly about porn.

I doubt that will ever change.

The Internet: not just for porn anymore!

HEE! I said that at work recently. People are all IN AWE by the fact that I can find out all these random facts, and I'm all "... they gave me GOOGLE! It's like an extension of my BRAIN!"

LOL! I do the *exact* same thing! "Caitlin, what's the molar extinction coefficient of ATP?" "Give me a sec and I'll tell you!" They've just started asking me rather than looking it up themselves. :-D

come on, didn't you watch the Tony's?

"The Internet is for porn... and theatre!"

Well, if by "watch" you mean "skimmed through and watched the numbers from each show, except Sweet Charity which was just painful," then sure, we watched them. *g* But yes, we did see the Avenue Q bit.

Avenue Q is coming to Vegas in the fall. How awesome is that?
