Question: Do you think the concept from the book (and movie) "The Secret" actually works?

Explanation: For those who are unfamiliar with "The Secret," it is the idea that because of our connection with a “universal energy force,” our thoughts and feelings have the ability to manipulate this energy force to our liking. According to “The Secret,” our thoughts and feelings attract a corresponding energy to ourselves. If our thoughts are negative, we attract negative things. If our feelings are positive, we attract positive things.

Well, with this fix, your rash shouldn't double so much at least.

I understood that one, mostly. But, some of their notation is obscure (I'd have to look it up to tell you exactly what it means). It's part of a CSS (style sheet) for a web page. If you "view source" on a Survey Central page, you case see similar things... e.g.


div.messages { background-color: #66CCCC; border-color: #330066; }
table.navbar td { background-color: #99CCCC; border-color: #330066; }
table.navbar a:hover, table.navbar td.hilite { background-color: #CCFFCC; }
div.main { background-color: #66CCCC; border-color: #330066; }

I'm not sure. I've heard of kerning which is related to spacing of font characters. Also, there's a concept of kernel in programming operating systems (it's the core code that runs everything, basically). But, I don't think kernel programmers ever say "kern". So, it's probably the font thing. Some of the other shirts seemed to have a graphic design bias (which isn't the same kind of geek that I am).

I also didn't know what the: "I  * love * *symbol* Z" one (maybe that's a Mac thing).

...and the W3C one seemed to be joking about the t-shirt being sweaty, but I don't know why.

You know me too well.

Honestly, I didn't even understand a couple of those... but, some made me laugh uncontrollably too.
