Trains, hermaphrodites, etc.

It freaks me out when the railroad crossing alert goes off, the barriers come down, but no train goes by! It makes me wonder... was the train invisible? Did the Hogwart's Express just go by? Or did they miscalculate when the train would pass through, and I'm gonna be obliterated as soon as I drive across the tracks?

I don't get why people jump in front of trains to kill themselves. This seems to be the popular method in Palo Alto. (and Tokyo?) I wonder if the people who are actually in the train feel any guilt when they find out they played a small part in indirectly assisting some kid's suicide?

I wonder what the Bible would read like if it was written in the same style that our generation speaks. For some reason "Dude, don't fantasize about your homie's girl" doesn't exactly have the same effect as "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife." Or "God like totally made this day, man. Let's party!" doesn't inspire quite as much veneration as "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad."

That sucks for that girl who broke some track record, and then the officials were like, "Wait a sec, are you a dude or a girl," and then they had to do "tests" (I can think of a really simple one) and determined (s)he's a hermaphrodite (OK maybe not for that) and now the whole WORLD knows about her little secret (a penis?)
(It's probably more complicated than that.)
Anyway that totally sucks. She's probably gonna lose her medal too.

I noticed Korean is in the lead over there. If you're just voting Korean because you worship some Korean drama/pop star/band, you are lame. Be objective.


DON'T HAVE A PROSAIC MIND!
