I find that sort of thing really scary.

It's been proven that chicks dig Linux. Every time I'm deep in thought, concentrating as much as possible on just the right syntax and keystroke of some command..... My wife is mysteriously drawn to me wanting to discuss any number of meaningless things! This fact has proven itself over and over again!

Proof of this phenomenon can be found here!

Sometimes I get a little creeped out when I have XaoS open (a really nice, fast fractal viewer) and I'm zooming into a Julia set. It...won't...stop! Especially creepy if you do the "rabbit ears" fractal...

I mean, it's pretty and all, but just thinking about how sharp that thing would be if it could be a physical object — O_o

*shudder* I think I've just invented a new kind of ninja weapon...
