Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

But they don't say datum. They say things like "these data".

But that's just wrong.

I feel the word "data" should be used like "information" and "news" and the likes.

"these data" is more correct than "this data", if you take notions of linguistic correctness seriously; again, it at least was originally the plural of "datum". The use of singular "data" usually means "information" instead.

[up][up][up] How often is data used as actually meaning that plural of datum though?

[up][up] Ah. Science. Odd-sounding formulations might not sound that out-of-place then...

[up] It gets more obvious when you zoom in, but I still sampled them in PDN. Amazing optical illusion.

I didn't need to sample it, I just looked closely at it.

Still. Cool.

I just found out why the comic was called Nuzlocke.

And I thought Nuzleaf was just a Magical Negro.

I noticed something, how come Bennett from Commando always calls his enemy, Arnie by his first name?

It might be a thing on my end. Lately the connection's been crapping out randomly for 10 minutes at a time, even though the rest of the internet works fine.

I finished a new chapter (well, part 2 of a chapter) of my story (after a very long hiatus) at work today and I sent it to my home email. I then downloaded it into My Documents when I got home.

All I have to do is post it to Fictiopress and I'm golden.

I'm just too damn lazy.

I suck at life.

That Lil Susy girl creeps me out. She reminds me of Betty from Fallout 3.
