Want to know who was the greatest whore of the 20th Century?
Mrs. Pacman. For 25 cents, she'd eat balls until it killed her.

Now that I've got that out of the way, I can tell you what I've been doing at 3AM. Thinking about numbers. It started with a birthday counter that led to my status: I was too lazy to do the math myself. The site I found the counter on had a bunch of nifty stuff, such as a menu that lets you pick what was going on from 1 Million up to 1 Trillion seconds ago. As of right now (3:04 AM Central
"1000000000000 seconds ago was , 17th June 29681BC at 7:17 GMT."
Little tiny insignificant seconds that, at only 1 Trillion, add up to a time before civilization as we know it even existed. It reportedly takes 50000 years for a macro species to evolve new, constant genetic traits. So less than 2 Trillion seconds ago, we weren't even the same creatures. That sort of makes Trillion seem like a dauntingly big amount. And in less than a century, the US has a national debt that is several times that, in dollars.
Just makes you think.
Also, I'm just over 713 million seconds old.
Listening to: Jane Distortion. Fun little band from Finland that recorded their album in a living room. 10 years ago, it would have been nigh impossible for one such as me to hear of them. Love the internet.

Sweet ass cover of NIN's "Closer". Implications totally change when sung by a female.
