Any day that begins with Christopher is likely to end with tequila, bail or both.

Most awesomest link ever. +5 for that one...
Windows 8 is the resurrected version of Microsoft Bob. The only thing missing is the Fisher-Price logo.

Sounds plausible. Why would Columbus be any different to the others?

Fabulous link! The same basic story is covered in depth also in the book Twelve Against the Gods by William Bolitho.

CC started out from Spain bound for Mexico to broker a deal with Mexico for Tequila but the queen thought she was being gracious and supplied the crew with the spirits. While partying one night they ran off course and by the time they all sobered up...well you know the rest of the story!

And that's how Christopher Columbus brought karate to Okinawa. No, wait, wrong movie...

For some odd reason, the tribe I work for doesn't celebrate Columbus Day...
There is a poster that's popular around these parts, depicting an assemblage of tribal chiefs carrying weapons, and sporting the caption: Homeland Security - Fighting Terrorism Since 1492.[^] I agree with the tribes...

Go figure, right?
Of course, given that the book I just finished was titled Unite the Tribes, I'd say that's a pretty compelling example of what happens when you don't.
Where's Genghis Khan when you need him?

What would you have liked to have known before having children? 
Seriously. For example, I would have liked to have had skills on surviving my marriage after my son was born.
And for those without kids, what do you think you would like to know before having them (besides how to have them, harhar).

What I would still like to know is, how do I have a conversation with my wife where we don't talk about the kids?
|

Shoes. You can talk to her about shoes -- until, of course, it reaches the point of "I couldn't afford to get [type of shoe] because I had to get [item] for [child's name]"

Which, of course, leads to a discussion of children's shoes.

When I was married, my wife was a senior level software QA person. So, not only did conversations tend to revolve around the kid, when she got home from work she didn't want to hear about anything that involved computers.
Now I know why the television was invented.

Give it a few years, once the kids leave home her focus will widen again.

Er, yeah.
She'll stop spending energy on making the kids behave the way she wants them to, and focus it on you.
I'm beginning to think that the only winning move is not to play.
