Here they are again. Ladies and Gentlemen the Thorpe boys:

“And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, on the pallid bust of Palas just above my chamber door. And his eyes have all the seething of a demons that is dreaming and the lamplight o’er him streaming casts his shadow on the floor. And my soul from out that shadow which lies floating on the floor shall be lifted, NEVERMORE.”
Final stanza of “The Raven”-Edgar Allen Poe

Sorry to have out done you once more, but we assure you, nevermore. From the mind of sick, sick bastards, such as us, we wish to congratulate you on the wonderful emblem of E.A.W. We believe that through the power of our own patriot (Scott Thorpe) and his many, shall we say, “avengers”, the E.A.W. shall relinquish the Cro-Magnon known as Wade. We wonder what a good acronym for its name would be. How about something like “Wishing About Dating Ericka”. It has that harsh ring to it, don’t you think. Keep the website growing and we assure you we shall return. Until then, never underestimate the power of E.A.W.. As the Vulcan’s say “Live long and prosper”. 

I came home today to just write about how nice Sherry is for checking out the site. (And even though she said my bit on Sarah’s injury was tasteful she’s a nice person). But that just wasn’t simple enough for the Thorpe Boys. These crazy sons-a-bitches they had to go and be creative in the GuestBook. you guys can’t be going around and upstaging me like that. These guys are crazy! the funny part is that I was just thinking at work this morning that we need to come up with a kind of liberation front name like The Peoples Hotel Liberation Party Of Fanatic Intelligent Men. So that would be the P.H.L.P.O.F.I.M. It just doesn’t work. Which brings me to my point. Yes I have a point. You hecklers in the peanut gallery can be quiet.

Here is Jarred, Scott’s brother upstaging me:

“Mad!Mad-that’s what they call me. It’s true I am nervous. Very dreadfully nervous. But why do they say I am mad? That fever I had last year-it just sharpened my senses-not destroyed them. Above all, my sense of hearing became the sharpest of all my senses. I heard things in Heaven and on Earth. I even heard many things in Hell. How then, am I mad?”-The Tell-tale Heart–Edgar Allen Poe

Such was the quote I was trying to write when I fucked up by hitting the wrong button. I hate fucking computers. I hear you are quite an educated man. Truly the Holiday Inn is no place for anyone above a simple-minded fool such as Wade. From what I hear, he could use a good ass-kicking and I would be more than happy to oblige. His day will come. The hour draws nigh. And soon, he will feel the wrath which will befall his stupid-ass. Until then, the numbers against him grow. Welcome to the brotherhood of E.A.W.(Employees Against Wade).

And of course not to be out done by his little brother, Scott goes on and also may I say very creatively to upstage me:

The following comes from Webster’s dictionary and is strictly for your viewing pleasure. Wade- 1.to step in or through a medium as water offering more resistance than air. 2.to move or proceed with difficulty or labor. 3. to be an overly dense asshole who still lives at home. Fucking pussy! (Definition #3 is not in Webster’s, but rather the Definitive arrangements of the devious mind of Scott. Your website is awesome. When you get those pictures of Ericka’s 21st you will definitely have to update the site . Even though you don’t like Dickens, I will leave you with this: “It is a finer thing I do now then I have ever done before” A Tale of two cities. Until next time, “Hasta luego amigo!”

Now I’m only going to say this once. You boys really have to put a stop to this shit. I mean it! We can’t have me looking low-brow. Shame on you guys.

Last night I went out drinking with Ericka and Jim. Along our travels to the bars some how we got into a discussion on Einstein’s theory of relativity and Star Trek. Ericka wanted to know how all of this relativity shit works and I could only remember the basics, but thanks to the wonders of the Internet I looked it up. This next bit is from Dave’s relativity page. And I took it all from him.

Time Dilation
The effect called time dilation is similar to length contraction, and it works like this:

The time between two events, in a frame in which those events occur at different locations, is longer than the time between those same two events, in a frame in which those events occur at the same location.

This one’s a bit more confusing. Again, I’ll try to illustrate.

Either of these clocks can be used to measure the time it takes the first clock to travel from point A to point B. However, the two clocks will give different results. We can think of it this way. The two events we’re talking about are the clock leaving point A, and the clock arriving at point B. In our frame, these events take place at different points (A and B). However, let’s look at this from the reference frame of the upper clock. From this point of view, the upper clock is at rest (anything is at rest from its own point of view) and the bar containing the points A and B is rushing by from right to left. So the two events, the departure of point A and the arrival of point B both take place at the same point: the point where the clock sits! (The time measured by the upper clock is called the “proper time”.) By the principle stated above, the lower clock will register a longer time than the upper clock as the upper clock moves from point A to point B.

A simpler, less precise way of stating this principle is:

A moving clock runs more slowly than a stationary clock.

The most famous hypothetical illustration of time dilation is usually called the twin paradox. Suppose there are twins named Harry and Mary. Mary takes off in a spaceship which travels very fast away from earth (it must travel close to the speed of light for the effect to be noticeable) and returns very fast. We can think of the human body as a clock which records the passage of time by aging. Since Mary is moving very fast, her clock runs slowly, compared to Harry’s clock. As a result, when Mary arrives back at earth she has aged less than Harry has. How much less depends on how far she has traveled, and how fast.

Time dilation is not just a crazy idea. It has been verified experimentally. Perhaps the best example of this involves a subatomic particle called a muon. The muon is an unstable particle, which means that shortly after one is created, it decays into lighter particles. How long a muon takes to decay has been measured very precisely. Anyway, it’s been observed that a muon moving close to the speed of light lives longer than a muon that’s at rest or moving slowly. This is a relativistic effect. From the point of view of the moving muon it doesn’t live any longer, because from its point of view, it’s at rest. It’s only in the frame of the laboratory through which the muon moves that the lifetime is lengthened, or “dilated”.

I should add at this point that there are many, many other tests of the ideas we’ve seen so far, and of the other implications of relativity that we’ll see later. My point is, even though it’s still often referred to as the “theory” of relativity, don’t think that this implies that special relativity is in doubt. It’s very well established.

I hope that made sense, because I don’t want to have to explain this again. There will be a test later so you all better read that shit up top.

Here’s A real quick one. Happy birthday Ericka.

A few things, If anyone cares I updating under the influence again. Yes my vast readership I’m drunk as a skunk. If this doesn’t get some word of mouth extra hits, then I fucking give up.

Not enough of you bastards have been checking out this page, hence the reason it first pops up now. By the way if your keeping track I’m on my fifth beer.

Also, lately I feel I’ve held back because of the F&B reading this page. Hey John if you still look at this shit drop me a line!

On Sunday the 16th Sarah from the front desk was in a car crash. She is doing better now, but it was serious enough of an injury. She had internal bleeding and she ruptured her spleen. Not being a doctor that sounded pretty bad to me. The doctors even were talking about how they might not be able to save her spleen. In the end the doctor did save it.

The whole thing has weirded me out. The last time I saw Sarah prior to the accident we were discussing Hamlet. I lately haven’t been able to get the line “alas poor Yorick. I knew him well Horitio”. Which is about death. The whole fucking play is about death. Sarah responded to me by reciting the beginning of the “to be or not to be speech”, again about death. So I just thought it was weird. maybe its just me.

That was the bad news. The good news is that I got to meet all of Sarah’s family. Lets see we got her mom Terry. Dad Jon and stepmom Tina. then their is sister Jenny and her boyfriend Nate. Oh yeah I forgot about Bob. They are all interesting people. Funny bunch.

Sarah will be in the hospital for about a week. Then she has to be off for six to eight weeks. She will pull through. Me and the other Chris(who I’ve decided is now dubbed Kansas. to avoid confusion) call her Atilla, as in Atilla the Hun. I would like to claim credit, but it was Kansas’s idea.

Nanno Nanno. Greetings Earthlings. I come in peace. Sorry, I have had one to many beers all ready this morning and am feeling goofy. Just kidding. I received a letter from a certain employee today that I had to put up. Go check it out at Two Cents a new section for other people to speak their mind. And any one who wants their two cents just e-mail me their piece and I will put it on that page.
