I don't know why this is so surprising given the correlation between metabolic rate and longevity.
|

for human beings:
1 Basal metabolic rate (BMR) declines, naturally, with age
2 BMR does not correlate with longevity: that assumption, scientifically "popular" since 1908, has been refuted by modern research
3 the topic here is neuronal activity, not metabolic rate
Your science needs topping up

Judging by the code I've had to work with, many programmers will live to be in the 100's...

Thank god they are not!
Wannabe manager stumbles in my penthouse office: "What is your status?"
Me, annoyed: "Still not married. Have you come to propose?"
Idiot: "No, are you still working on your project? I want you too <generic stream="" of="" nonsense="">. And put that into your database!"
Me, even more annoyed now: "No. There is no time for that if we want to make our deadline."
Idiot blinks, reboots for a few seconds and repeats the sream of generic nonsense.
Me: "I understood you the firat time. The problem is that the database will not even take this because of the constraints, not to speak of the changes I would need to make to the application."
Idiot:"Can't we just use another database with less constraints?"
Me, slowly getting devious: "Great! Why don't you take this to the boss? That would really solve a lot of problems. And don't forget to mention that I will need one or two more months to make your changes."

"The other database is not SQL, meaning it's only consistent eventually."
That'll scare him off

I'm not sure 'idiot' knows what 'consistent' or 'eventually' means - those words are far to long...

Other DB bad. No SQL. Not consistent. No more money.

In Scott Adams' mind.
Elbonia seems to represent different things at different times, or not represent anything in particular.

Coincidentally I'm in the Andes (Peru) for 8 days leaving day after tomorrow. What an incredible place.

Deliberately vague, so that Adams can make any sort of overseas joke without having to create a new fake country first. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I was convinced this would be a Joe Momma joke.
Seeing they're all these guitar people I'm a bit disappointed.
They reminded me of Deep Purple - Highway Star[^] though, so it's not all bad 
And here's my favorite Joe[^]

Sorry that I disappointed you 
Deep Purple: For me this is the one they did really good, among the other stuff the did also great  Deep Purple-Burn - YouTube[^]
