Pat Robertson is Completely Insane!
1999-06-03 18:10:44
That Pat Robertson, he always has something wacky to say! Now he's gone and pissed off a whole country, instead of just an unpopular minority.
The Bank of Scotland announced Thursday that it would cut its financial ties with the nutty American televangelist after Robertson told his huge cable television audience of trailer park denizens and social malcontents that Scotland was overrun with homosexuals. "In Scotland, you can't believe how strong the homosexuals are," Robertson said on his 700 Club show.
Bank of Scotland executives reviewed tapes of the broadcast in question and decided to call off a planned effort to launch a financial banking operation in the United States with Robertson Financial Services.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
