musings: April 2007 Archives

So BillingsGazette.com posted this AP story with the headline Butte blast blamed on leaking gas. I just hope for their sake the Gazette has the ability to target which ads appear on that page and is working off some kind of auction model so it can maximize its revenue when this page got "farqued."

So a friend forwarded me a bunch of images that (apparently) were real answers to test questions by students. One made me laugh more than the others and has stayed with me for some time. I posted it above. I think what makes it stand out to me is that in this age of algorythms and databases and metrics, we can still have a hard time seeing what's right in front of our eyes.
