Okay, I'll Beat Rana This Time

By grrlscientist on December 22, 2007.

I'm tempting the fates by putting my words above the fold this time.

death (15x) dangerous (11x) sex (8x) crap (7x) hell (6x) dead (5x) murder (4x) bitch (3x)

It seems that the naughty word sensor on that site gets burned out rather quickly, because it didn't pick up "whore" or "sexy" this time, and further, I didn't beat Rana at all, although we are tied at this point.

my evil word list;

death death death death death death death death death death death death death death
dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous
sex sex sex sex sex sex sex
hell hell hell hell hell hell
crap crap crap crap crap crap
dead dead dead dead
murder murder murder
bitch bitch
whore whore whore whore
sexy sexy sexy

Where I Try To Beat Rana's Blog 'Movie Rating'

Rana was bragging in comments to the previous entry about his blog movie rating. Naturally, being the competitive sort, I had to try to beat his score by using even more naughty words than he did. But did I succeed in my quest? No, I did not.

Deaths in Iraq

I think it is worthwhile to update James Wimberly's comparison of surveys of deaths in Iraq. In the table below death tolls have been extrapolated to give a number of deaths due to the war so far.

IFHS study on violent deaths in Iraq

A new study of violent deaths in Iraq has been published in the NEJM. You can read it here. Here's the abstract:

Deaths in Iraq

I think it is worthwhile to update James Wimberly's comparison of surveys of deaths in Iraq. In the table below death tolls have been extrapolated to give a number of deaths due to the war up to Oct 08.

Now that 'death' was mentioned, you can get a relevant 'fuck' as well, by referring to John Cleese's speech at the funeral of Graham Chapman.

I like Cleese's conclusion:
"You see, the thing about shock... is not that it upsets some people, I think; I think that it gives others a momentary joy of liberation, as we realised in that instant that the social rules that constrict our lives so terribly are not actually very important."

The moral censors don't like people enjoying moments of liberation. That's why I'm willing to give them a good, honest kick every now and then.

Wow, not only has my site been referenced in the mighty ScienceBlogs, but my name was in a post title :)

It's funny though. I want kids to read my blog. Adults too. That's why I write it. I only
commented that it was ridiculous for a serious discussion of those issues (without vulgarity) to result in NC-17 ratings.

I hope your actual movie raters use a bit more judgment...

The previous e-mail system at work rated every message with chili peppers, and asked the sender (annoyingly) whether he or she wanted to send the potentially offensive cyber-missive.

Of course a colleague and I spent the better part of an hour trying to max out the number of peppers....
