#800

In Chinese numerology, the number 8 represents the totality of the universe. For that reason, the Beijing Summer Olympics began on 8/08/08 at 8.08.08 pm. The number 8– laid sideways– also represents infinity. In Tarot cards, the number 8 stands for strength and justice. For the Pythagoreans, the number 8 is the symbol of the love. Any zeros after a number are considered multipliers.

New this year is an ugly truck contest.
Quotation from the 2003 Garfield Summer Celebration (Garfield Days) in Garfield, Minnesota (pop. 304)

Silly Goose

Too often, I judge my worth by how others see me. It’s a social thing, not unique to women. I think I could be happier if I was different. I wish I was either [choose one] taller, older, younger, thinner, prettier, more athletic; I want longer hair, shorter hair, shinier hair, highlights, boobs, better complexion, smaller feet, longer fingers. I wish I didn’t wear glasses. I eat well and exercise regularly. I don’t rest enough. Do you like yourself?

No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Quotation from Oscar Wilde

It is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Another quotation from Oscar Wilde

Anniversaire heureux, Northie!

Ugly Hair Day

Ugly Hair Day

When you have an ugly hair day, conventional wisdom says to put your hair into a ponytail or wear a hair accessory. The other option is to wear an invisibility cloak.

Scientists at UC Berkeley have taken a major step toward making Harry Potter’s disguise of choice a reality. They’ve engineered two new materials — one using a fishnet of metal layers, the other using tiny silver wires — that neither absorb nor reflect light, causing it instead to bend backward.
Quotation from Time Magazine

I’m fine but you’re obviously having a bad hair day.
Quotation from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992 movie)

She’s the Devil

She’s the Devil

Unwanted romantic attention is sexual spam. Sure, you can sexually spam a thousand people and– maybe– get laid once, but what’s the point?

Researchers Become Spammers To See How Successful Spam Is (TechDirt.com) Computer scientists at the University of California took over a zombie network to send out bogus spam and watch the fake orders roll in. Except they didn’t get many orders. They sent out 350 million spam messages, and received a grand total of 28 orders. But, even accepting the researchers’ numbers, they found that the full zombie network they used could probably bring in about $7k per day, or about $2 million per year.

Don’t worry. Eventually, everyone meets in the middle…

Don’t worry. Eventually, everyone meets in the middle…

It’s said that looks don’t matter because eventually everybody meets in the middle anyway. But ohhh, what easier paths some people have getting there than others.

Euphoria, unease at UK web singing sensation Boyle (Reuters) “Is Susan Boyle ugly? Or are we? By raising this Susan up, we will forgive ourselves for grinding every other Susan into the dust.”

Born Beautiful, Scarred for Life

Born Beautiful, Scarred for Life

What makes a little girl ugly? It’s a trick question.
As Gandi said, Be the change you want to see.
All children are beautiful. All children are beautiful.

Chinese girl not ‘pretty enough’ for Olympic ceremony (Belfast Telegraph)

(Barbie) I’m an ugly girl, my face makes you hurl.
Sad I have it, I should bag it.
Acne everywhere, unwanted facial hair,
I’m a relation to Frankenstein’s creation.
(Ken) You’re so ugly. You disgust me.
Lyrics from Weird Al Yankovic, Ugly Girl (Barbie Girl Parody)

I’m not a pretty girl
that’s not what I do.
I’m no damsel in distess
and I don’t need to be rescued,
so put me down punk,
maybe you’d prefer a maiden fair,
isn’t there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
Lyrics from Ani Difranco, Not A Pretty Girl

I did a guest comic today for WIREHEADS! It’s one of my favorite comics. Go look! Go look!
