A steel support construction was necessary in order to safely move the sculpture by three meters on the Heimplatz. This support system represented not only the necessary means of stabilization, but was also constructed in a way that permitted for the Gates to be pulled forward.

Adam Devine Smart Home
USMC Cpl. (retired) Adam Devine, his wife, and their two children Amya and Brayden received their smart home in Nokesville, VA this week.
Being so close to St. Patrick's Day it is only fitting that the luck of the Irish was with them to welcome them home! Irish actor Liam Neeson, who is Adam's favorite actor, sent the family a letter, and enclosed a picture of himself holding a picture of the Devine family as a house warming gift.
Adam's home turned out beautifully and was equipped with custom features to make it easier for Adam to navigate and help take care of his busy family. The kitchen even came with a custom oven that can adjust to the height needed for either Adam or his wife to use!
Thank you to Alexandria Carpet One Floor & Home for generously donating the flooring installation throughout the home. It is an absolute gorgeous combination of flooring perfectly suited to Adam's needs.

SCADD client suing New London police, city for violation of rights, use of excessive force
New London - A 32-year-old Storrs man who says he was beaten and pepper-sprayed by city police outside the Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence detoxifcation center on Dec. 14, 2011, is suing the city, four police officers and two other New London employees in U.S. District Court.
Reuben J. Miller is suing police Officers Joseph Pelchat, Joshua Bergeson, Kurt Lavimoniere and Sgt. Robert Pickett for alleged violations of his civil and constitutional rights and use of excessive force.
Miller also names in the civil complaint city social worker Tabatha Maiorano, who was riding with Bergeson on the night of the incident, and firefighter Michael Kuchyt, a first responder to a call to take Miller to the hospital for a dangerously high blood alcohol content of 0.38.
Bridgeport attorney Tina Sypek D'Amato filed the lawsuit on April 29, the same day New London announced it had reinstated Bergeson to the police department. Bergeson was fired in January 2012 following an administrative hearing to review his role in the Miller incident.
The complaint says Miller suffered "economic damages, great humiliation, aggravation, physical pain, contusions to his eye, face, head and ribs, a rib fracture and emotional harm, entitling him to punitive damages and actual money damages for pain and suffering.
"The city's conduct was so extreme and outrageous that it exceeded all acceptable bounds of decency and was furthermore atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized society," the complaint says.
The complaint also says the city "has a policy, custom or practice of failing to adequately train officers, like the ones involved in this incident. This custom, practice or policy allows its officers to violate the constitutional rights of citizens, resulting in their use of excessive force."
Asked for comment, Sypek D'Amato said the complaint speaks for itself. New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and Deputy Police Chief Peter G. Reichard said they could not comment on pending litigation.
West Hartford attorney James N. Tallberg, who is representing the city and police officers, said in an email, "We deny the plaintiff's baseless allegations and look forward to being vindicated in court."
An alleged assault
According to the complaint, Miller was visibly intoxicated, stumbling and slurring his words when the ambulance arrived at the SCADD detox center at 47 W. Coit St. He was standing near his girlfriend's car, begging her to take him home, when Pelchat, the first police officer, arrived.
The complaint says Pelchat jumped out of his cruiser and without provocation and without identifying himself, grabbed Miller from behind and brought him to the ground. Kuchyt jumped in and held Miller's arms as Pelchat hit him, the complaint says. Bergeson arrived and slammed Miller's face into the pavement and punched him in the face, eyes and ribs several times, according to the complaint.
Maiorano, the social worker, "jumped in and held the plaintiff down, sitting on his legs," while Pelchat and Bergeson hit him, according to the complaint. She was a member of the city's Crisis Intervention Team, which helps police with mental health evaluations during crisis calls.
Lavimoniere and Pickett arrived, and Lavimoniere took over for Maiorano, then punched Miller in the left hip three times with a closed fist, according to the complaint.
Bergeson pepper-sprayed Miller in the face for several seconds, according to the complaint.
"At no time was (Miller) a threat to his girlfriend or anyone else," says the complaint.
The officers arrested Miller rather than taking him to the hospital, even though he was groaning loudly, having trouble breathing and was "in significant pain," according to the complaint.
The incident was witnessed by several SCADD employees, including Stanley Jurgielewicz, a technician, who told The Day that the police had treated Miller "like a piece of trash."
Police charged Miller with interfering with an officer and second-degree breach of peace. In January, he pleaded no contest in New London Superior Court to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct and received a suspended prison sentence and one year of probation.
Following an internal police department review of the incident, then-Sgt. LJ Keating found that officers did not violate the police department's standards pertaining to use of force. Keating has since been promoted to lieutenant.
The report recommended addressing department procedures such as report writing, improper use of pepper spray, driving police vehicles not assigned to the correct officers and not using in-car cruiser cameras. A dispatcher also was criticized for the manner in which officers were sent to the scene.
The report said Bergeson had incorrectly deployed pepper-spray and initially filed an incomplete report on Miller's arrest. It also said the incident may "appear worse on the surface to the average onlooker than it really is."
"Many civilians are accustomed to seeing law enforcement officers in customary roles and not the 'hands on' role during an active hands arrest, fight, or struggle," the report stated. The report said Miller had told police he drank at least a 30-pack of beer a day.
Court records indicate Miller pleaded guilty to interfering with Willimantic police in 2008 and was convicted in February 2013 of two counts of second-degree breach of peace.

Open Water Source... Your complete source for open water swimming.
The Oceans Seven
Open Water Source follows the top open water swimmers in the world. The world's most intrepid adventurists would ply their trade around the world in search of the Oceans Seven.
The Oceans Seven is the most elusive goal among the world's marathon swimmers. In order to achieve the Oceans Seven, they must cross 7 of the world's toughest channels. (Note: The distances listed are the shortest straight-line distances from point-to-point, but the actual distance covered by swimmers is significantly greater due to the tidal movements and currents.)
1. North Channel
Location: Channel between Ireland and Scotland. Also referred to as the Irish Channel.
Reasons for Difficulty: Heavy seas, cold water, thunderstorms and strong currents are among the natural elements that must be overcome in the 33.7K (21 miles) channel.
Window of Opportunity: July through September.
Hazards: Considered to be the most difficult channel swim in the world with the water temperature 54ºF (12ºC), normally overcast days, and tremendous difficulty in accurately predicting weather and water conditions. Swimmers face large pods of jellyfish if conditions are calm.
Description: Has been attempted at least 73 times since 1924, but only 8 successful solo swims and 5 relays have been achieved to date. Most of the attempts have been abandoned due to difficult conditions and hypothermia.
Additional Information: Swim crossings are governed by the rules set by the Irish Long Distance Swimming Association. First attempt was made in 1924 and the first success was 1947.
2. Cook Strait
Location: Channel between the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
Reasons for Difficulty: 16 nautical miles (26K) across immense tidal flows in icy water conditions among jellyfish and sharks are extremely stiff challenges for only the most capable and adventurous swimmers.
Window of Opportunity: November through May.
Hazards: 1 in 6 swimmers encounter sharks on their crossings. Sharks only come around to be nosey. No one has ever been attached during a swim. Both sides of the strait have rock cliffs. Cold water (14ºC-19ºC or 57ºC-66ºF) over 26 kilometers and heavy chop.
Additional Information: To date, only 71 successful crossings have been made by 61 individuals from 8 countries. Hypothermia and change in weather conditions during a race are the most common reasons attempts fail.
Website: [www.cookstraitswim.org.nz | Cook Strait]
3. Molokai Channel (or the Kaiwi Channel)
Location: Channel between the western coast of Molokai Island and the eastern coast of Oahu in Hawaii.
Reasons for Difficulty: 26 miles (41.8K) across a deep-water (701 meters) channel with extraordinarily strong currents in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and aggressive marine life.
Window of Opportunity: As conditions permit.
Hazards: Extremely large rolling swells, strong winds and tropical heat and very warm salty water offset the incredibly beautiful views of the Hawaiian Islands and deep-blue underwater scenery.
Additional Information: Deep-water channel with beautiful views of the Hawaiian Islands was first crossed in 1961 by Keo Nakama in 15 hours and 30 minutes and has only been crossed by 8 individuals to date.
4. English Channel
(Channel Swimming & Piloting Federation or Channel Swimming Association)
Location: Channel between England and France with the narrowest point being in the Strait of Dover between Shakespeare Beach, Dover, England and Calais, France.
Reasons for Difficulty: An international waterway of 34K (21 miles) at its narrowest point, cold water temperatures, strong currents and ever-shifting water and weather conditions.
Window of Opportunity: June to September.
Hazards: The world's most famous channel crossing with nearly 1,000 successful swimmers to date, but thousands of failed attempts due to strong currents and tidal flows, strong winds and whitecaps caused by changing conditions and hypothermia.
Additional Information: Considered to be the standard for channel crossing with the rules and traditions significantly influencing the worldwide open water swimming community.
[www.channelswimming.net | Channel Swimming & Piloting Federation]
5. Catalina Channel
Location: Channel between Santa Catalina Island and Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Formal name is the San Pedro Channel.
Reasons for Difficulty: Cold water (especially near coast), strong currents, potential for strong winds, marine life and distance. Shortest point-to-point course is 33.7K (21 miles) from Emerald Bay on Santa Catalina Island to the San Pedro Peninsula.
Window of Opportunity: June to September.
Hazards: A deep-water channel that is comparable to the English Channel in terms of water conditions, difficulty, distance and the physical and mental challenges to the swimmer, although the water temperature is a bit warmer (mid-60°F water). Marine life seen on occasion, including migrating whales and large pods of dolphins.
Additional Information: First successful swim was in January, 1927 when Canadian George Young won $25,000 in the Wrigley Ocean Marathon Swim in 15 hours and 44 minutes.
Website: [www.swimcatalina.org | Catalina Channel Swimming Federation]
6. Tsugaru Channel
Location: Deep-water channel between Honshu, the main island of Japan where Tokyo is located, and Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. Closest points are Tappi Misaki in Honshu and Shirakami Misaki in Hokkaido.
Reasons for Difficulty: An international waterway, 19.5K (12 miles) at its narrowest point. Swimmers must cross an extremely strong current between the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean, large swells and abundant marine life ranging from sharks to deadly sea snakes. English and other western languages are not spoken in area. Water can be between 62– 68ºF (16– 20ºC).
Window of Opportunity: July and August.
Hazards: Swimmers are swept long distances due to the extraordinarily strong currents flowing from the Sea of Japan to the Pacific Ocean. Swimmers face large blooms of squid during the night. Swimmers are challenged by occasional patches of cold water that flow up from the depths and are caused by the screws of the large oil tankers from the Middle East travel through to the West Coast of the U.S.
Additional Information: Only four confirmed solo crossings and one confirmed double-crossing have been achieved to date.
Website: [www.tsugaruchannelswimming.
7. Strait of Gibraltar
Location: Strait between Spain and Morocco that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. Shortest point is between Punta Oliveros in Spain and Punta Cires in Morocco.
Reasons for Difficulty: 14.4K (8 miles) across an eastern flow of water from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea with an average of 3 knots (5.5 km per hour). Heavy boat traffic, logistical barriers and surface chop confront swimmers throughout each attempt.
Window of Opportunity: June to October.
Hazards: Its boundaries were known in antiquity as the Pillars of Hercules. The currents remain of Herculean strength. Combined with the unpredictability of the water conditions and high winds, only 185 successful one-way crossings and 7 double-crossings have been made to date.
Additional Information: Most attempts are made from Tarifa Island due to the influence of strong currents, a distance of 18.5– 22K (10– 12 miles).
Website: [www.acneg.com | Strait of Gibraltar Swimming Association]

His take on Vice President Joe Biden's comment that "executive action can be taken" to curb gun violence:
Biden's comments came during a meeting with gun safety advocacy groups and victims of gun violence earlier on Wednesday. He said the White House has determined that "executive action can be taken," but he didn't specify what those measures might be.
It was the first suggestion from the White House that it could bypass Congress in instituting measures to combat gun violence in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The White House has pushed Congress to r einstate a ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004, close loopholes that allow gun buyers to bypass background checks and ban some high-capacity magazines.
Drudge's splash illustrates a common fear among conservatives that has been expressed most recently by controversial radio host Alex Jones in a fiery interview with CNN host Piers Morgan. It's a fear that the federal government will take away guns.
"The tyrants did it! Hitler took the guns! Stalin took the guns! Mao took the guns! Fidel Castro took the guns! Hugo Chavez took the guns!" Jones said on CNN Monday.
"I'm here to tell you — 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!"

I think it could be a wise approach to see what traditional medicines have to say on the matter, because they have had the time to examine this kind of issues over extended periods of time.
As quoted above, Chinese medicine seems to considers egg yolks as harmless:
Sekha wrote:This article suggests according to Chinese medicine, egg yolks have no impact on health:Chicken egg yolks are considered "neutral" in terms of qi energy. In traditional Chinese medicine, the body's energy or qi, needs to be balanced to ensure good health. Foods are usually qualified as hot or cold, and overindulgence in either hot or cold foods can unbalance the body's energy. As a result, neutral dietary foods like chicken egg yolk are useful for their lesser impact on qi.

Last night I'm afraid to say I failed the LINUX community.
My wife's Aunty and Uncle came up from Glasgow to Aberdeenshire to visit my mother in law for a few nights and en route stayed at our house for a meal.
After the meal my wife's Uncle asked whether he could use our PC to check his emails etc. My wife asked my son to give the Uncle his laptop to use which is running Windows 7 but I saw the instant opportunity to demonstrate the power of LINUX by letting him loose on my laptop running Mageia 2.
Now the reason I am running Mageia 2 is that I had an unfortunate incident last weekend whilst playing with the partitions on my laptop whereby I accidentally destroyed the version of Zorin I was running previously. This however was not I thought an issue because I had set up Mageia meticulously with the KDE 4 plasma desktop and I think it looks really impressive. I have even installed Compiz to add some whizzy effects. Add to this the Chromium browser and you would think you have a really good setup to demonstrate to a non Linux user.
Why did it all go so wrong?
What I initially failed to appreciate is that in Central Glasgow they have pretty decent broadband all the time running at around 8mb. Here in Aberdeenshire they have only just discovered colour television so our home broadband speed with Orange is under 2mb. I normally counteract this by using the 3 mobile broadband which can at times give you around 7mb but occasionally in bad weather and peak times it drops to about 2mb.
For those of you unaware of this fact the weather in Scotland has been shockingly dull and dreary for the past month and there is a lot of fog in our area. I don't know if that affects mobile broadband signals but needless to say the 3 mobile broadband last night was running at around 2mb.
Instantly my wife's uncle's first response was "I don't know if the laptop is old or it is the software but the internet is very slow compared to my Macbook". When he said this a few things went through my head including "you stupid [insert expletive here] Apple fanboy" and "blast you Three mobile broadband". The problem was not the laptop at all. The laptop was responding perfectly fine to every request but it can do nothing at all about the broadband signal.
The second reason why my demonstration failed was because of Chromium. The uncle is an Apple user. He is used to Safari. When there was an address in the toolbar he could not work out how to clear the address to type in a new one and so frequently placed the cursor at the end of the address bar and pressed the backspace key. I explained that you can just press CTRL and A to select the whole address and just press the delete key at which point he said "It is much easier in Safari". I fail to see what is so difficult in pressing CTRL and A and then the delete key.
My wife's uncle is a professional artist (Which goes someway to explaining his love of everything Apple) and he was demonstrating his work to me. Unfortunately the third thing went wrong at this point. One of the files he wanted to show me was a flash video and unfortunately due to the reinstall last weekend I had not got to the point of reinstalling Flash. Doh!!!
Compiz to the rescue
The one thing the Uncle did really like was the little effects Compiz gave when closing windows and navigating around web pages. Frequently he said things like "wow that is weird" and "that is really amazing". All this goes to prove is that it doesn't really matter to an Apple fanboy how good something is as long as it looks amazing. (I'll await the flames in the comment area for that statement).
I tried to demonstrate the power of LINUX to a non LINUX user and I failed. I failed because I failed to appreciate that normal users do not care what is to blame for the internet going slowly. As far as they are concerned it is the machine they are using that is to blame.
I failed to appreciate that even Chromium can be tricky to get used to even though I use it daily without any issues.
Finally I failed to set up my laptop properly in the first place to play Flash videos.

LightDM is a cross-desktop display manager that aims to be the standard display manager for the X server. Its key features are:
- A lightweight codebase
- Standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)
- A well defined interface between the server and the user interface.
- Cross-desktop (user interfaces can be written in any toolkit).
More details about LightDM's design can be found here.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Enabling LightDM
- 3 Optional Configuration and Tweaks
- 3.1 Changing Background Images/Colors
- 3.2 Changing your avatar
- 3.3 Enabling Autologin
- 3.4 Migrating from SLiM
- 3.5 NumLock ON
- 3.6 User switching under Xfce 4
- 4 Troubleshooting
- 5 See Also
Install lightdm from the official repositories. You can also install lightdm-develAUR for the development branch or lightdm-bzrAUR from the AUR.
You will also need to install a greeter (a user interface for LightDM). The reference greeter is lightdm-gtk-greeter, which is provided by lightdm-gtk3-greeter. KDE users can install lightdm-kde-greeter, a greeter based on Qt.
Other greeters can be installed from the AUR as well:
- lightdm-webkit-greeterAUR: A greeter that uses Webkit for theming.
- lightdm-crowd-greeterAUR: A 3D greeter that lets you select your profile from 3D characters walking around.
- lightdm-unity-greeterAUR: The greeter used by Ubuntu's Unity.
- razor-lightdm-greeterAUR: A greeter for the Razor-qt desktop environment.
- lightdm-pantheon-greeterAUR: A LightDM greeter from the ElementaryOS Project.
You can change the default greeter by changing the configuration file to state:
It is also possible to change the default greeter at compile time by changing the line containing:
Enabling LightDM
Make sure that the lightdm daemon is started at boot.
First, install xorg-server-xephyr from the official repositories.
Then, run LightDM as an X application:
$ lightdm --test-mode --debug
Optional Configuration and Tweaks
Some greeters have their own configuration files. For example, lightdm-gtk3-greeter has:
and lightdm-kde-greeter has:
as well as a section in KDE's System Settings (recommended).
LightDM can be configured by directly modifying its configuration script or by using the
lightdm-set-defaults applications
that can be found in
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/. To see some of the options available, execute:
$ man lightdm-set-defaults
There are, however, a lot more variables to modify in the configuration file than by using the
lightdm-set-defaults application.
Changing Background Images/Colors
Users wishing to have a flat color (no image) may simply set the background variable to a hex color.
If you want to use an image instead, see below.
GTK+ Greeter
Users wishing to customize the wallpaper on the greeter screen need to edit
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf defining the background variable.
Unity Greeter
Users using the lightdm-unity-greeterAUR must edit the
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.unity-greeter.gschema.xml file and then execute:
# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
According to this page.
/usr/share/pixmaps since the LightDM user needs read access to the wallpaper file.
KDE Greeter
Go to System Settings > Login Screen (LightDM) and change the background image for your theme.
Changing your avatar
The .face way
Users wishing to customize their image on the greeter screen need to place an image called
.face or
.face.icon in their home directory. Make sure it can be read by LightDM.
The AccountsService way
The .face way is known to cause issues, fortunately LightDM is able to automatically use AccountsService if it is installed. AccountsService files need to be set up as follows:
- A user file named after your user in
[User] Icon=/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/johndoe
- A 96x96 PNG icon file in
Sources of Arch-centric 64x64 Icons
The archlinux-artwork package from the official repositories contains some nice examples that install to
/usr/share/archlinux/icons and that can be copied to
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/devices as follows:
# find /usr/share/archlinux/icons -name "*64*" -exec cp {} /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/devices \;
After copying, the archlinux-artwork package can be removed.
Enabling Autologin
Edit the LightDM configuration file and change these lines to:
autologin-user=<your_username> autologin-user-timeout=0
or execute:
# /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --autologin=USERNAME
LightDM goes through PAM even when
autologin is enabled. You must be part of the
autologin group to be able to login without entering your password:
# groupadd autologin # gpasswd -a username autologin
Migrating from SLiM
Move the contents of xinitrc to xprofile, removing the call to start the window manager or desktop environment.
NumLock ON
Install the
numlockx package and the edit
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf adding the following line:
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on
User switching under Xfce 4
With the release of Xfce 4.10, user switching is supported natively. To use it with LightDM, users need only to create a symlink:
# ln -s /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/gdmflexiserver /usr/local/bin/gdmflexiserver
Alternatively, see the XScreenSaver#Lightdm article.
If you encounter consistent screen flashing and ultimately no lightdm on boot, ensure that you have defined the greeter correctly in lightdm's config file. And if you have correctly defined the GTK greeter, make sure the
xsessions-directory (default:
/usr/share/xessions) exists and contains at least one .desktop file.

Defendant arrested after break-in at golf course, theft of truck
The Taft man arrested on auto theft and burglary charges following a series of crimes in a rural area north of Taft in March will be sentenced in late April after he entered no contest pleas to three felony counts.
James Brian Swope was arrested by Kern County Sheriff's deputies following leads after a break-in at a shed at Buena Vista Golf Course on March 14.
They found a car registered to Swope broken down near the golf course, then learned a vehicle had been stolen a short distance away from a home.
Deputies then received a report of sighting of the stolen truck that led them to Maricopa.
Swope was subsequently arrested by deputies when he returned to the car that had broken down, and they found the keys to the stolen truck in his pocket.
Swope entered guilty pleas to counts of auto theft, burglary and petty theft with three or more priors and two counts of grand theft and one count of possession of stolen property were dismissed, according to Kern County Superior Court records.

The idea, I suppose, is that if you do not have a seismograph to measure an earthquake, and you want to know if one is happening, you hook someone up to a polygraph and ask them if there is one. Then, if there is an earthquake and they answer "no," the polygraph will make some lines that look like seismograph lines.
Stop! stop right there, with your mind! Don't think harder! Don't ask any more questions! cage off that part of your brain that is thinking about this, and you might enjoy this comic!
For those of you who insist on thinking, you shitheads, your thought pattern may be something like this:
--But what if the guy says yes? Then there is nothing special on the polygraph. Is the idea that he just says "YES THERE IS AN EARTHQUAKE" and that is your polygraph, because hey, he told you there was an earthquake?
--Isn't the point of a seismograph to tell you how intense an earthquake was, not just whether one was happening or not?
--What if there isn't an earthquake happening? Then, if he says there is one, you still get a "there is an earthquake" reading on your polyseismograph.
--Most obviously and most importantly, how does the man in the chair know if there is an earthquake. That is, how does the guy in the chair know but not the guy standing? Of course if the earth were, you know, visibly quaking, that could do it, but then Standing Dude wouldn't have to ask.
Are you going to tell me not to think too hard about these things? Are you going to tell me that I need to relax and just take the comic as is, without thinking too hard? Well in that case I am going to tell you to shut the fuck up because these questions are so basic, so obvious to any mildly intelligent reader, and so core to understanding the point of the comic, that you have to ask them. You have to question it when the comic requires you to suspend your belief so much that one of the characters must be a magic psychic earthquake sensing mystic but otherwise, in every other detail, life would be exactly the same. If that were the case, this comic would be funny. Alas, we do not have earthquake sensing mystics on this planet! OH WELL.
Put another way, this comic seems to rely on the childlike notion that if you had a polygraph, you could figure out every truth in the world, by stating it or its opposite and seeing how the polygraph reacted. I am sure my five year old self, upon learning of a magical machine known as a lie detector, imagined hooking someone up to it, asking if aliens or dinosaurs or something existed, and, if the person said "yes" and the machine did not detect a lie, being thrilled that I had just proved the existence of aliens, and moreover, that I may get to meet them (would I ever get to meet them? only one way to find out - ask the lie detector!).
(this comic also relies on the childlike notion that polygraphs actually work as a way to establish if someone is lying or not, but let's not even take up that question, we have enough to deal with as is).
anyway, i guess what i'm trying to say is that if you liked this comic it means you are stupid.
update: a lot of commenters are saying that I've missed the point of this comic, which is to show how ridiculous the whole idea is. People! Think about what you are saying! You are saying that the point of this comic is to write out something terrifically stupid and then laugh about how stupid it is. That's like me making a typo and then saying it was a joke, because obviously I would not be so stupid as that! I was acting stupid, for a joke.

Morgan sails on the open ocean as it makes trip from New London to Newport, R.I.
The world's last surviving wooden whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan, completed the first leg of its 38th voyage Sunday as it sailed into the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in 93 years.
After a nearly 12-hour trip from New London to Fort Adams State Park in Newport, R.I., a few dozen people greeted the 106-foot whaling vessel at South Alofsin Pier late Sunday afternoon. Throughout the approximately 45-mile trip, the Morgan had an entourage of sailboats and motorboats — at times too close for comfort — following it.
The tugboat that will accompany the ship during its two-month journey towed it through Fishers Island Sound and off Watch Hill, R.I. before releasing the Morgan to sail on its own to Point Judith, R.I. As the Morgan neared Point Judith, the winds died, forcing the tugboat to slowly tow it the rest of the way to Newport where it was refused entry for at least 30 minutes because of a sailboat race.
"God forbid those modern yachts let in such a historic vessel," said a frustrated Capt. Richard "Kip" Files of Rockland, Maine.
The ship's crew and guests who came from different professions with varying levels of experience were given 30 more minutes to experience life on a whaler — seasickness and tar-stained elbows from climbing lines. This unique group sought inspiration and took part in bringing to life a vessel that began its 80-year whaling career in 1841.
"You can just feel that she is happy and she wants to go and wants to sail again," said Aaron Gralnik, a professional deckhand on the Morgan.
The clear skies, fair winds from the north and west and calm Atlantic Ocean with a slight southeast swell set the ship and its crew off to a safe start on Sunday as it began a two-month journey to historic New England ports following its five-year restoration.
Morgan enthusiasts waved goodbye to the ship at City Pier in New London at 6:30 a.m. Sunday, a day later than initially planned. Rough conditions on Saturday had postponed the trip to Sunday.
The Morgan will stay in Newport until Wednesday when it will leave for Martha's Vineyard. It will then visit New Bedford, Provincetown, Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Boston and the Cape Cod Canal.
"This is amazing — something that none of us at the museum had anticipated in our careers," said Glenn Gordinier, the Robert G. Albion historian at Mystic Seaport. "So to see it come to fruition is just amazing."
Gordinier was captivated when the Morgan rose to the swell of the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in more than 90 years. He spent time admiring how the shadows on the floors and walls of the "blubber room" rocked back and forth as the Morgan swayed in the sea. He said he had been below deck dozens of times while working at Mystic Seaport but that this was an entirely different experience.
Two crew members debated the way the rigging should be set up next to Gordinier, and he said he loved listening in because they were the same discussions that were heard on the ship more than a century ago.
"There is always an element of uncertainty, but she is in the best hands," he said. "So no real worry, but we all know the ocean is a big space."
The only scare most passengers had were the loud booms from cannon blanks being fired from the Rena, a yacht owned by one of the Mystic Seaport board members, early in the day and rounds from the Tree of Life schooner as the Morgan neared Newport.
"They are honoring us," said Norman Angus of Old Lyme, a former Seaport volunteer and a guest on board.
The Morgan responded quickly in the afternoon by saluting the Tree of Life with its own blank cannon rounds and the Rena as it sailed close to the Morgan again.
Files said he was taking the Morgan a "little gentle" because the wind was stronger than he had anticipated. The vessel made six knots for a little while during the mid-morning and by 10:45 a.m. the ship was back down to three and a half to four knots, he said.
"Nobody is in it for the terror," Files said. "That's not the point of sailing. You have to be able to take it in."
If the vessel were to sail faster, he would have to send the crew back up the rigging and then if the wind sped up, he would have to send them up again, he added.
"It's not like a modern vessel where you push a button or pull a chain," he said.
The 15 professional sailing crew members along with Mystic Seaport crew members who rotate onto trips were hard at work throughout the day hoisting sails and striking sails.
"You're beasts! You're beasts! You're beasts!" cheered Cassie Sleeper, a senior deckhand and the medical deckhand.
She was encouraging Mystic Seaport sailing deck hands to put all their strength into belaying lines on a pin on the rail of the ship.
They know how to handle the lines and haul lines and have knowledge of the commands, but there are technical words they have to become more familiar with, such as "tacking" or turning the ship and "furling" or wrapping up a sail.
"It's trial by fire," she said. "Most of the tall ship industry is learning by doing."
Alan Schaeffer of Mystic, a member of the rotating crew, said he had been on the first sea trial but that "there is an infinite amount to learn."
"Remember, no one who is alive has sailed a ship like this until last week," Schaeffer said.
Also aboard the vessel were about nine "38th Voyagers" who were selected to sail aboard the Morgan and come from various professions and disciplines. During each leg of the 38th voyage different professionals will be aboard in order to inspire their work, such as poetry, improving maritime education, producing garments worn by American men during the 18th and 19th centuries and examining the public's perception of whales.
Mystic-based poet Joanie DiMartino said her work would be inspired by how seasick she became on the trip. One of the captains' wives, Clara Tinkham, was regularly seasick, DiMartino said, and now her writing would be better "influenced."
Helen Poulos, a postdoctoral fellow at Wesleyan University's college of environment, said she is interviewing guests on the Morgan and plans to write a scholarly journal article about how people's view of whales have changed after the International Whaling Commission put the international moratorium on whaling in place in 1986.
Tyler Putman, a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at the University of Delaware, said the trip helps him learn why sailors wore the clothes they did. In the late 1700s a fashionable middle-class man in New London would have worn a "long coat" and pants that were similar to knickers, he said. But the sailors wore short jackets and regular trousers so their clothing would not get stuck in the equipment, Putman said.
"I think I watched Peter Pan one too many times," said Matthew Ecklund, an artist and head educator for Call of the Sea, a nonprofit that teaches youth about sailing and marine mammals.
He said he prefers to be at sea to "practice art as life." Even coiling a line is art, he said.
"Participating on this trip is like a dream come true," he said.
