This is a picture I took at the BC Ferries terminal. The sign says:
SUPER C x 2 = Awesome^2
Frankly, I have no idea what this advertisement is for, nor does it make much sense to me. I can only imagine them trying to infer that something is awesome. So let’s do some math here:
SUPER C x 2 = Awesome^2
Awesome = sqrt(2 (SUPER C)
hmmm… That didn’t make things any easier.
Super C = (Awesome ^2)/2
Okay well… that doesn’t make too much sense either. What the heck is Super C anyway? That sounds like a vitamin.
I can only say that the sign will make more sense if we assume Awesome=2. In which case:
SUPER C x2 = 2^2
SUPER C = 2
therefore:
SUPER C = AWESOME
I think that’s what they were trying to say in the first place. Whatever SUPER C is, I think the whole idea is that it is awesome.
This abomination of an equation could only be the result of marketing Artsies trying to do math.
edit: Just Googled. Super C’s are the new fleet of ships BC Ferries has acquired in 2008, named: Coastal Renaissance, Coastal Inspiration and Coastal Celebration. Since there are 3 ships and the sign only says SUPER C x 2, I can only guess that the 3rd ship services out of Horseshoe Bay and not Tsawwassen.
So yes, all they were trying to say is that the SUPER C’s are awesome. Perhaps that both of the SUPER C’s together are Awesome squared. So each of the two which operates on the Tswwassen route account for only 1/2 of the awesome squaredness.

I’m surprised at how often the answer made sense if not entirely accurate. Feel free to copy and paste this to your own blog and play. I’d love to see what you have as answers so please trackback to me to share.
There’s another game you play where you post the next 10 songs your iTunes spits out regardless of how embarrassing they are. I’m posting these just for fun since I feel like sharing.
Since everyone loved the post on Nico not too far back, I figured I will add this very nice little addition. As a new year present I guess.
This is a French song called Chelou by Zaho. Nico looks absolutely charming in this Vid despite the fact that he plays a cheating boyfriend. Frankly I thought the girl that he cheats with is a bit funny looking.
I don’t personally speak French but the song is still very catchy, I’ve listened to it enough to actually be able to sing along with most of it. Enjoy!
(see below for the lyrics as well as the English translation of the song done by someone who actually speaks the language)
J’n'aprécie pas le fait
Qu’elle vienne chez moi quand je nsuis pas là
Qu’elle plonge dans mes draps
vêtue de mon propre pyjama
J’aprécie moins le fait
Que tu guete mon retour avec tant de suspect
Et dès qu’je franchie le pas
La c’est cherie vient dans mes bras
Tu mens
Je lsais quand tu louche
Des fois quand tu prends ta douche
Qu’elle appèle et quand c’est moi qui répond
Au nez elle me raccroche
Dis-moi
Est ce que jla connais ?
Pourquoi
Qu’a-t-elle pu donné
De plus que moi ?
Qu’a-t-elle que je n’ai pas ?
Refrain (x2)
C’est chelou(sh)
Cette façon qu’elle a de te regarder
C’est quoi cette manière de t’appeler bébé ??
Tu dira à cette taspé
Que jvais la taper
C’est chelou(sh)
WA AYH YA WA AYH YA
Quand tu taff au studio
Que tu fais l’idiot
Avec des milia
Ou des Myriam
Qui tdise que t’es mignon
Le mal de mes yeux tu vois
Une chose que je ne supporte pas
Elle joue avec mes nerfs
Elle en garde
Elle ne t’aimera jamais plus que moi
Tu mens
Je sais quand tu louche
Des fois devant toi elle bouge
Elle se déhanche
Elle danse
Et toi tu ouvres grand ta bouche
Dis-moi
Est ce que jla connais ?
Pourquoi
Qu’a-t-elle pu donné
De plus que moi ?
Qu’a-t-elle que je n’ai pas ?
Refrain (x4)
C’est chelou(sh)
Cette façon qu’elle a de te regarder
C’est quoi cette manière de t’appeler bébé ??
Tu dira à cette taspé
Que jvais la taper
C’est chelou(sh)
I do not appreciate
that she comes at my home when I’m not there
That she goes into my sheets
dressed with my own pyjamas
I appreciate even less
That you check if I’m coming back with your suspicious look on your face
And as soon as I get in my home
Here it’s "honey come into my arms"
You lie
I know it when you squint
Sometimes when you take your shower
She calls and when I pick up
She hangs up
Tell me
Do I know her?
Why
What could she give more than I did
What does she have that I don’t?
It’s weird
This way she looks at you
What is this behaviour she has calling you baby?
You’ll tell that b****
That I’m gonna hit her
It’s weird
When you work at the studio
That you’re acting like a fool
With some girls called Milia
Or Myriam
who tell you you’re cute
You see the pain in my eyes
Something I can’t stand
She plays with my nerves
She even keeps some
She will never love you more than I do
You lie
I know when you squint
Sometimes she moves in front of you
she sways her hips
she dances
and you, you have your mouth wide open
I watched Lakeview Terrace tonight. The trailer looked decent and I finally had the opportunity to get a copy.
Back in university we engineers played this game once a year called “The Day the Movie Died”. Basically, we sit and watch movies and point out the plot loop holes, logic errors and cutting errors. Basically anything that makes Hollywood look less spectacular.
Here’s a short version of the “Death List” that I felt was prominent enough that made the movie less than what it could’ve been.
Anyway, I tend to notice these darn things when watching movies.
What’s with that ending scene anyway? Raging fire? A symbolism for something? That, forest fires are hard to suppress? In the end, the fire rages one?
I stole these from TinyYetMighty. I am bored and figured I could use one of these random things. Plus it’ll probably help keep me on track to not make 2008 feel totally useless.
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Get my Bachelor’s degree
2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I accomplished a few of my 08 resolutions. And hopefully I will keep my 09 ones.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yes, my girlfriend (who shall remain nameless for privacy reasons)

8. What was your biggest achievement of 2008?
Get benefits from work.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Breaking up with my boyfriend. I still call him my boyfriend since I have no idea what else to call him. Ex just has a bad connotation which I don’t believe fits our relationship (or lack thereof).

Sadder. 2007 was awesome.

Saving money instead of spending it.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Buy fabric
20. How will you be spending Christmas?

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
uuuuh… I’m drawing a blank.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
