Too early
Right. So here is an article on game console power usage. According to the author, you could spend more than $2 a year just by plugging in your XBOX360. The wii’s not up on the list (as it doesn’t exist yet) but I have a feeling that it will also be up there in cost as it will have the ‘always on’ functionality. Not sure how useful that will be but…
On another note, I turned on the TV this morning to see if the World Cup had started for the day (no, damn it) and came across a televangelist name Pastor Benny. He was trying to raise money for his ‘Miracle Crusades’. Crusades? Here is the definition for crusade that I got off of Answers.com.
cru·sade (krÅ«-sÄd‘)
n.
- often Crusade
Any of the military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in
the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to recover the Holy Land from the
Muslims.- A holy war undertaken with papal sanction.
- A vigorous concerted movement for a cause or against an abuse. See synonyms at campaign.
intr.v., -sad·ed, -sad·ing, -sades.
To engage in a crusade.
Now I may be wrong but this he is (1) probably not Catholic, (2) most likely without a papal sanction, (3) not murdering people (one hopes), (4) not fighting an abuse, and (5) he is not a movement. So why use the word crusade? Beside it has bad connotations. Generally, though I think this is another children’s crusade (only he will be taking people’s money and not making money by selling people’s children into slavery (one hopes)). I mean he straight up asked people to give him money so that he could bring his ‘Crusade’ to the world! I wonder how much he charges at the door to these events? I bet he doesn’t lose any money. I mean how else could he afford to use the Banknorth Garden? Here’s an article on his scammery. These people just make me angry.
Also, if you want to see Pat Robertson leg press a ton click here. But that’s a completely different ballgame.
Had fun this weekend but I’m not looking forward to this week (I’m sick of this place) with the following exceptions: Hockey tonight (can I score more goals?), Softball tomorrow (against Zoology which should be funny) and Thursday, and Heidi finding out the details on her (possible) new job. Crap, I have the last supervising thing tomorrow and I have to do a presentation.
