So I am not sure how many of you are familiar with what a Turing Test is, but basically it is a test proposed to see whether or not a computer system can successfully imitate a human. I’ll spare you the boring details, but if you’re interested you can read about it here.
Anyways, there is a program I use at work, and on one screen it gives a list of names of our clients. It will shorten the longer names… and I noticed that what it displayed for one client is “Bear …turing” (I won’t tell you the full name for the sake of <spooky>confidentiality</spooky>)
The whole point of this is, I now can’t stop thinking about replacing the computer in a Turing test and replacing it with a bear at a keyboard.
Also I removed my eyebrow piercing today, which made me a little sad. It’s tough for me to actually admit “defeat” in that kind of situation. However, I strongly suspected it was beginning to migrate away from my face, so I decided I’d pick my battles, and hope to try again later. At least this way it will minimize the scarring.
Bummer about your piercing. Did it just never heal and keep getting infected?
