Just found this...

and it threw away my link

May I be the first to say:

WHO CARES!

That personals girl today is real cute except for the Affleck chin. I bet all the guys stare at it.

Kids! Phew, you gotta love 'em.

No Michael, not like that. Michael!

When reached for comment, Stephen Hawking qlibly quipped, "mmyah mmyah myha myhaa; myah mya mmmyah. Myah, myah muyaa myah myha -- mya myaa mmya, myah, mya mmya myaaa. Myah myhaa myaaa!!!!!!"

Is it me, or is that picture begging to be photoshopped?

/It's probably me.
//so sayeth Sting and Eric Clapton, at least.

Beware, would-be evildoers! My crimefighting powers are as infinite and unknowable as the very universe itself.

The Steven Hawking Project? Pfft! Oh, nothing.

svejker_14,

It's called a 'hero's cleft' and many people have them; I didn't think of Ben Affleck when i saw her. Instead, I saw someone pitch a tent in my pants.

New Hampshire represent!

i hope those kids learn to build a giant woman-for 20 years from now.

Back in the day I also was a member of a prolific lego team. We named our team after the great lego master Alan Parsons.

The "Trenchcoat Mafia" started out this way.

What are girls doing there on the same playing field as guys. Next you'll tell me they can drive and vote.

moltov: I didn't think of Ben Affleck when i saw her

Sorry for anyone who has 'oreo's cleft'.

We once made an Eggo out of Lego. Talk about synergy. ;)

For a moment, I thought this was Slashdot...

drgruney, relax...only in New Hampshire...them's there some progressive folk...

If you cross me biatch, you'd better duck,
cos Stephen Hawking is crazy as Fark!

Good thing they are a small state... I'm just glad gays don't have equal rights there.

They should forget about al that silly science stuff and focus on praying to the Invisible Cloud Being that lives in the Sky!

After all, Bush won. Which means that science, thinking, logic and reality....lost.

/For mor yeers! For mor yeers!

Am I the only one who actually notices that the personals are always the same and rotated at a frequency of about 18 months or so?

maybe 18 months is the average time that a Fark-personals relationship lasts?

Hyernel: Shut up, idiot.

germaniac --

No, I've noticed that too. Except all the hot ones have been taken, and thus are gone, leaving slanty-necked "lookers" like today's.

Yeah I went there! SLANTY! GEOMETRY IS A TURN-OFF

RTFA! They advanced to the state tournement. Not really a big deal, considering that the top 8 from every local competition advance, and most local competitions have 10-12 teams (and you can attend multiple local competitions).

In other states (Massachusetts, for example), anyone can compete at the state competition.

FIRST Lego League is an awesome program for middle schoolers. It's kind of a gateway to the the FIRST Robotics Competition, started by Dean Kamen. Kids have six weeks to build a robot, and then compete in one of a number of regionals around the country. It's a great way to get kids inspired in engineering and such.

(1388 represent.)

sheeit, i think anything that gets kids thinking nowadays deserves a huge round of applause, and those kids to be told that they're really doing something good. i mean they may have only advanced to a state level, zansstuff, but still, they advanced.

do i seem too excited about this? i just like to see kids thinking.

1006 in the house y'all

They advanced to the STATE championship, not the national championship. I'm the head ref for the Illinois tournament to be held next month. It is a neat program though.

I think thats cool that they have girls getting in on the competition. Any kind of robotics, computer, or engineering field has a noticeable lack of female participation. I say encourage it!

I thought I was an elite lego-builder when I was 9... I created all of the Power Ranger's dinosaur robot things allllll by myself using random lego pieces. I think I even built a spaceship one time. OMG... I wanna go play with some lego now!


//just hoping the lego-bots can fetch beer.

Stephen Hawking is old and busted since he ditched his wife and hooked up with a dominatrix nurse and got into SM. But at least that's something the world can understand. The science stuff he used to be into was incomprehensible. But these kids - are they following Hawking.1 or Hawking.2?

My son just finished up his regional. Nope, isn't going to state. It is a program for elementary and up. Cool way to make kids think and work as a team. He had fun, the competition day was a real looong day for the spectators though.

My lego team is called "Milk Force Nine".

If you were 9 when you made power ranger crap I'd say you're young enough to not worry about robots giving you beer.

I'm 20... turning 21 in July. Where I live, legal drinking/gambling/smoking age is 19.

Is this contest really just a bigass Lego commercial? It still would have been fun to participate when I was a kid.

Boo to all of you. Team 677 (all girls... called the "Wirestrippers") in high school, now mentoring team 1152. w00t for FIRST!

/Never got to do Lego League, though...

*does a double take at the article*

Hmm. My hometown, newspaper and high school are all on fark. Sweet.

188 up in here!

its great to see FIRST finally getting some publicity. just to shed some light on the situation, FIRST Lego League is in more than 20 countries across the world and involves more than 50 000 kids. The FIRST Robotics Competition is in more than 5 countries around the world and invovles 20 000 + kids. check out usfirst.org for more info!

cfletch13:
not only can they fetch beer, you can program them to only bring it if the ambient temp is greater than some set point, say 62 degrees. If it is too cold, I'd have mine bring Bourbon.

These robos have light and touch sensors, they can do tons of stuff...
you could write a program that could tell the difference between a can of Bud and a bottle of homebrew.

I blame Bush.

Yes, I know all about FIRST Lego League, I was just pointing out that the submitter is a moran. I am currently mentoring a LEGO League team (bbb1236) and a FIRST Team (190), and I founded a FIRST team in high school (992).
