It’s been a long week, and I just have to ask:
Whaaaaa…?
The Afternoon Inquisition (or AI) is a question posed to you, the Skepchick community. Look for it to appear daily at 3pm ET.

I don’t know.
Unless you are talking about the health care debate, in which case – Whaaa…?
“Whaaaaa…?”
What is it good for?
Man, Hostile Thursday was yesterday. Let’s just roll with the Friday and do some shots.
*sigh*
Don’t.
Just… don’t.
I mean, seriously.
This is not a complaint. I would never complain about a service that is provided for free by volunteers. Skepchick rocks and the Skepchick’s individually rock. I’ve just noticed that the AI’s this week are, um, weak. Either that or they are zen koans designed to annoy us into enlightenment. I hate koans.
@davew: A little free-form posting never hurt anyone…
Q: What’s the sound of one nerd laughing?
A: MiddleMan
@davew: Yesterday’s was pretty interesting…
I also would never complain about a free service – I’m giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming they’ve got some gems of AIs for us next week…
……..FREAK OUT!!
@MiddleMan: If a nerd laughs in a forest, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Or something like that.
@davew: They’re not weak, they’re just different!
@Andrew Nixon: “: Yesterday’s was pretty interesting…”
I missed yesterday’s. That was pretty good. And the guest AI on Wednesday was pretty good, too.
@Aaron: “They’re not weak, they’re just different!”
That’s what I told my friends about my peanut butter martinis. They claim to the contrary that my martinis are objectively, provably bad.
Speaking of which whatever happened to the Amazing Tang Contest? Was it really permanently lost in Vegas? Too many collective blackouts to post a coherent summary?
@Andrew Nixon:
If a nerd laughs in a forest, and there is no one there to hear him or her snort, does s/he still get embarrassed?
Perhaps some humour may enliven our day: http://www.oliverwillis.com/2009/08/19/video-atheist-comedian-performs-in-church/
@catgirl: No. A true nerd doesn’t get embarrassed at all.
Friday is random day:
I hate trying to lose weight.
Microsoft 2007 is annoying.
The question of Woolf vs Wolf is driving me nuts.
I love eading blogs.
I love writing my blog.
My boss is on crack.
Roller Derby tomorrow night!!!!
Whaaaa indeed. I’ll bet Mercury is in Retrograde. Or, um, Pluto is in the 7th alignment with.. um. Rigel. Or maybe our Chakras are staging a collective strike.
Hopefully it’s almost over, ’cause my aura needs some clarifying work.
Absolutely nothing!
@Kaylia_Marie:
Office 2007 was a little annoying when I first started using it, but now that I’m used it, I realize how amazingly good it really is.
@NoAstronomer: Say it again? (I was hoping someone would take that bait!)
@catgirl: I’m an Open Office kinda guy myself, but use Office 2007 at work. I prefer it to previous versions, but my office colleagues still haven’t got used to it in a year of it being on our computers. Unfortunately I let on that I can use it. Big mistake…
Gotta disagree on the Office 2007. Typically I’m an anti-Microsoft bandwaggoner… But I L-O-V-E Office 2007. It’s true that it’s a big adjustment over previous versions, but that’s becuase previous versions sucked.
And rollerderby tomorrow night for me, too!
Law enforcement departure.
Whatcha thinkin?
@James Fox: Or,
Gendarmerie alley son Vendredi.
@MiddleMan: Wow, my link didn’t work… What kind of koan-job is going on here?
@davew: @Andrew Nixon:
Sorry to do this, but I found a free service that we can all complain about.

@greenishblu: Duuuude… In Santa Cruz? Because then we have to meet up! Detroitus (who used to have time to read Skepchick) is coming… much skeptical fun will be had!
@Skept-artist: I stand corrected.
Walnuts are your friend.
Oh God how is it Friday it took forever for Wednesday to get here.
I think someone here is pondering what I’m pondering…
@Kaylia_Marie: Sadly, mine will be in Salt lake City, but I’ll see if I can astral project myself over there. :D
@greenishblu: Oh, ok, I’ll save you a seat!
God hates Shrimp.
It’s an abomination, after all.
I’m just wondering, when you guys sit down, and after long thought, come up with a sensible strategy to tackle a large problem, do you refer to it as an “Evil Plan”?
I do that ofthen, and a friend noted that today’s evil plan…wasn’t that evil. I pointed out that is sounds so much sexier than “Behold, my pragmatic plan! MUAHAHAHAHA!”
I cannot begin to describe how ‘whhaaaaa?’ my day has been. What should have been an annoying-but-nothing local newspaper story about a client turned into national news and radio headlines. I have been fire-fighting so hard my eyebrows burned off.
A long bath, curry, cherry beer, xBox and a very late night will sort me out. But still…whaaaaaa?
42
@Tracy King: Cherry Beer? Did I miss something? When did beer start coming in flavors other than Moose Urine?
When the Moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter is next to Mars, you need to consider moving to a different neighbourhood, and you’re not done fixing the seating plan for the wedding reception.
heute, mein hut hat nur 27 ecke!
freitag !!!!
Yup.
@faith: “God hates Shrimp.”
Wow. There goes catfish, too.
@Tanstaafl56:
today, my hat has only 27 hits a corner!
Friday!!!!
Whaaaaa…?
There will be booze
It’s been two long weeks in a row. Going through a period of chemistry just not working. It’s very frustrating.
Only the cricket has cheered me up.
@Gabrielbrawley: I drink your milkshake, you boy
@infinitemonkey: I think so Infinitemonkey, but if they didn’t have ears they would look like weasels.
If I may-

Its not exactly skeptical-related, but it does certainly sound like a bad storyline from a lame soap opera.
@Kaylia_Marie:
By definition, all Microsoft products suck. Some more than others, but the principle still applies.
Weight loss = lowered calorie intake + higher exercise rate
You can do it, but like all things that are worthwhile, it’s hard work. I’ve lost almost 20lb in the last 7 weeks by going to the gym 5 days a week and watching what I eat. You go, girl! Show us what you’ve got in a few months!
@Gabriel: If I were responsible for creating humans, I’d want some booze, too… ;-)
@faith: Don’t throw them away. I’ll eat your shrimp. And lobster. And Baltimore-style crabs. And…
@Andrew: I love Open Office, too. I work on an Army base and we’re still back in Win XP and Office 2003. Groan.
snort.
@Masala Skeptic
Look. I got the tampons in the mail. They were free samples. I didn’t know what to do with them, so I’m using them to clean up diet-coke spills.
So no, it’s not a horrible disease.
To me, it is more like “Wwhhhaaaa!!!!” Seriously, now that I have to go to college, I see the real costs of textbooks. My head almost blew up.
If Comcast and Verizon were to ever merge, the resulting black hole of shittiness would destroy us all.
@infinitemonkey: Gross. You want to get yourself some of this: http://www.beerhere.co.uk/acatalog/Liefmans_fruit_beers.html
@IBY: College textbooks are SUCH a racket. You spend hundreds of dollars on them and get pennies back. :-( It’s as bad as those “money back when you use your credit card” scams. They charge you 22% interest and you get a few cents back per charge? Even Vito on the corner gives better deals than that!
