A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the ...

April housing market anecdotes
2008-04-24 01:06:00 The 90/10 rule seems to be in play this April, as in 10% of Realtors are managing 90% of the transactions. Our California title insurance friends are telling me that the number of transactions remain depressed this month, but our friends, many in the 90% group, are seeing the spring uptick just because they are in that 90% group. Here are some anecdotes about the spring buying season: Teresa Boardman says StPaul feels like 2005 San Francisco bidding wars video from MarketwatchBusiness Week profiles Altos Research data in assessing spring buying opportunities in 15 metro markets Some day, NAR will finally forecast the bottom right... the NAR spin chart from NJ RE Report h/t Matrix / Big Picture.

Morty, the Undead Lobster
2008-03-31 21:27:00 I'm still pretty busy with work, so all I can offer you today is this little anecdote from my youth. On the plus side, I think I've convinced Grundir to come out of hiding and fill in for me on Wednesday. I think he's up to something. Anyway, here's the story of Morty the undead lobster. Enjoy.For simple cheap entertainment, few activities can top messing with drunk people.I?ve never been a big drinker, and in college my smartass friends and I used to amuse ourselves by going to parties and talking over the heads of our inebriated fellows. I guess it made us feel superior, making fun of people to their faces without them realizing what we were doing. Kind of a stupid way to entertain yourself when it comes down to it, but at least you don?t end the evening puking in some stranger?s wastebasket.My all time favorite experience of garnering amusement at the expense of drunken partiers happened a few years back, when I went on a snorkeling trip with a college friend in Florida...
Anecdotes from the Downturn
2008-03-25 17:59:00 CNN Money is running a series a short stories from those who are struggling financially. In total there are 26 articles that cover a diverse mix of Americans. The common theme is that broad swaths of our population have been hit by hard economic times. However, all of these stories remind me how important it is to recognize the difference between a collection of anecdotes about individuals economic hardship and statistically important analysis of the whole economy.After reading through all of the anecdotes, the most common hardships are job loss, health problems, and single parent households. What struck me is that even in good economic times these problems are very real and likely to hurt the prosperity of ANY household. As it turns out, unemployment is still at solid levels historically speaking, less than 5%. A net loss of 63,000 jobs in February may significantly impact individual families, but it has almost no effect on the broader econ...
Anecdotes of some great scientists - 1
2008-03-05 18:51:00 Srinivasa Ramanujan: 1729Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematical prodigy."I remember once going to see him when he was lying ill at putney,"the mathematician G.H.Hardy once remarked."I had ridden in taxicab number 1729 ,and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one and that i hoped it was not an unfavorable omen."'No,' he replied ,'it is a very interesting number;it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."'["Every positive number,"Hardy later remarked, "was one of his personal friends."Despite recieving little formal education,Ramanujan was discovered by Hardy,to whom he sent some of his first papers.Hardy later gave Ramanujan a rating of 100 on his own scale of "pure talent."Hardy's own rating/25.]
I Think My Cat May Be on Drugs
2008-02-27 16:21:00 That's not an expression, like "What has gotten into that cat? It's acting like it's on drugs." I mean, it started out that way, but at this point I seriously think my cat may be abusing a controlled substance. I don't really know how to find out for sure; they don't make public service announcements for this sort of thing.It started a few days ago, when our normally sedate cat started darting from one end of the living room to the other for no apparent reason. Then she would meow plaintively, as if she needed food or wanted to go outside, but if you followed her to where she seemed to want to go, she would just stop at some arbitrary location and look up at you quizzically, as if to say, "Where to, chief?""What is up with Molly?" I would say to Mrs. Diesel. "She's acting like she's on crack." We've had this stupid cat for 11 years now, and she had never acted like this. We weren't exactly worried, but it is a little disconcerting to see an animal experiencing a sudd...

Kidneying Around
2007-12-13 07:32:00 In the late 90s, back when Al Gore's Internet was still shiny and brimming with possibilities, I worked as a tech support rep at a large software company. My boss at the time was a good-natured dufus that I'll call Chad. Chad drove a blue Camaro with the license plate YAHOOO, not because he was a fan of the then-nascent web portal but because he was, in fact, a moron. Chad would demonstrate his cognitive deficit by forwarding emails of dubious origin to our entire department. I'm not sure if he ever sent his bank account number to a desperate Nigerian, but one time he did forward the one about people being drugged and having their kidneys cut out. You remember that one, right?At this point I should mention that I'm a big-time skeptic. Not a Skeptic with a capital S, but a person who tends not to believe anything that sounds a little fishy without some hard evidence. I mean, I believe in UFOs because, well, I've seen one, but I don't buy the rumor that Jamie Lee Curtis is...

2008 - Anecdotes and Observations
2007-12-10 07:16:00 Ross Douthat explained it as A Race Nobody Can Win So the latest polls have Mike Huckabee up an implausible nineteen points in Iowa and four points nationally. But he can't win, right? I mean, he's vulnerable on practically every non-social issue, he has a variety of skeletons in his closet, his policy team seems more or less nonexistent, he still doesn't have any money, and he has most of the GOP establishment united against him. He doesn't have a prayer - or maybe that's all he has.Except, of course, that none of his rivals can win either. If you look at the field, every candidate seems to have near-disqualifying weaknesses (a point Larison has been making for months, I believe), which helps explain why nobody seems capable of getting above 30-35 percent in any national or state-level poll. McCain is still poison to a large chunk of the base and probably doesn't have enough money to capitalize even if he wins New Hampshire - and if he loses there, he's cooked. Mitt Romney i...

anecdotes du Soudan : les mariages dans la rue
2007-09-06 10:37:00 L'asphalte est un luxe que peu d'avenues et de boulevards peuvent se l'accorder. Alors quand on a une avenue asphalte devant soi, on en profite pour y organiser tout type d'evenements. Les mariages se taillent la part du Lion dans ces evenements et il est tres frequent de ne pas pouvoir acceder a sa destination pour cause de mariage.Le pire c'est que ces evenements alterent la qualite de l'asphalte puisque les organisateurs n'hesitent pas a faire de gros trous dans la chausse pour mettre en place leurs decorations.Il est evident que les autorites sont au courant de ces pratiques. C'est meme une source d'argent puisqu'il faut payer une taxe a la police de la circulation pour pouvoir mettre en place un tel dispositif.Copyright Zizoufromdjerba.blogspot.com

2007-07-27 01:32:00 Anecdotes from Paris: Dernière partieAirport fiascosAs smoothly as our trip to Israel always seemed to go, Rachael and my flight home was another story altogether. Tuesday morning we left Tel Aviv with more than three hours to spare before our flight left ? but a Hebrew/English miscommunication at the train station sent us nearly an hour in the wrong direction. By the time we figured it out (a security guard kicking us off the train at the last stop on the line) and made it back to Ben Gurion International, we had just 50 minutes to spare before our flight was scheduled to leave.At Seatac Airport this would have been stressful but not a huge problem. The intense degrees of security in all of Israel, however, ensured that there was no possible way we could get through the numerous security checkpoints, have our bags searched, be patted down for weapons and be interrogated about our reasons for traveling to Israel, and still make our 14h30 flight. After being yelled at by airport...

Bush!, but yesterday I was not only pegged for a different nationality, but a different ethnicity as well.After the race yesterday, I was sitting on a bench in the Arênes de Montmartre next to a French African. Trying to make conversation he asked where I was from, but before I could even open my mouth he continued for me. Algérie? he asked, avec un peu des îles Seychelles? This guy apparently thought I was a beur, a second-generation North African immigrant. The term used to be somewhat pejorative, but it?s made its way into mainstream French and lost the offense in the process. Non, I said slowly, Je viens des Etats-unis. Apparently unwilling to admit that his conjectures had been wrong, he pressed on. Mais vos parents, ils sont pas Africains? Once I?d finally convinced him that I was not any part ...

2007-05-04 02:04:00 Anecdotes from Paris, partie deux: The generosity of the homelessThe other night I was strolling back from a movie at Les Halles, enjoying the warm evening and snacking on a half-full carton of movie popcorn. R and I are constantly overestimating the amount of popcorn the two of us will be able to consume, but are also unable to admit defeat. The last time we failed to finish our extra-large popcorn, R was charged with toting home the remains and finishing them on their own ? this time, it was my turn.Being that it was 1 am and Paris, it wasn?t long before I was approached by two homeless men with a dog. All they wanted were a few coins, but once you?ve lived in Paris for any significant amount of time you just don?t give money to people on the street. I shook my head, but held out the carton of popcorn with one hand (the other hand was clutching the handful I was about to eat). The guys were smelly and chemically altered and I could see that they were hungry by the way they s...
