  This is getting repetitive

  Sanitation workers in the United States die on the job at a higher rate than policemen or fire fighters.

  The uncelebrated heroes.

  My computer broke down again, borrowing my brother's laptop right now, for the next two weeks (or more) expect my presence here to be even more erratic than before >___>

  PS. As soon as I've figured out how to download my newest photos and documents from my comp's hardrive... I'm gonna go nuts at it with a baseball bat...

  I'm an uncle... again!

  - Interesting fact #256 (yes, 256 again... because apparently I had already posted the last one earlier >_>):
  
  The Universe is beige.

  This was concluded when some scientists decided to take the color of the 200,000 closest galaxies and then mixing them together. They kinda skipped the emptiness in between so... I still want to say that the Universe is black

  - Interesting fact #257:

  The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean (ooobviously), but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear.

  1.5 year ago I made a blog about my newborn nephiew, today that nephiew got a little brother.

  ***SPOILER***

  

  Apparently they arrived at the hospital at 7am this morning, after 2 hours (at 8:56) he was born... when my brother called a few hours later to tell us about the news I was like "WHAT?!? That's one fast baby".

  Anyway, just came back from the visit. He's really cute and small and soft and... pink... not beige at all...

  My computer almost broke

  Interesting fact #256:

  The Titanic was the first ship to use the SOS signal
  
  That worked out well, didn't it?

  ---

  A few days ago I helped my brother by a laptop, after comparing a few dozen different computers we found a good and cheap one that fit his needs, it's a lot more powerful than my computer.
  
  The next day I try to start up my own stationary computer. The screen stays black, I don't hear that characteristic "beep" that I always hear when I start it up, but after a few seconds I did sense a strong scent of burned rubber... I thought: "that can't be good". I immediately turn it off. I decide to clean the inside (it wasn't really that dusty), I look for whatever it was that produced that scent with my eyes and my nose... I couldn't find it.
  
  I start it up again, it doesn't work, no "beep", but no weird smell either. I go to sleep. Next morning (yesterday) it still doesn't work. I think stupid thing like "God, you have a great sense of humor". And I also think "goodbye E3". I clean it out again, I even remove and re-insert some parts. I decide to leave it alone without touching it for the next 24 hours, to really let it cool down.
  
  Today, it started working again ... TEH RELIEF. All my data is intact too. But I'm kinda nervous now... how long will it last? Was it one of the fans that stopped spinning? Will it be able to handle the strain of the coming weeks? *Cliffhanger*.....
