FAO Schwarz!

Found this on Funny Times:

What New Toys Did You Get? (compiled by Phil Proctor)
Capitalism: He who dies with the most toys, wins.
Hari Krishna: He who plays with the most toys, wins.
Judaism: He who buys toys at the lowest price, wins.
Catholicism: He who denis himself the most toys, wins.
Anglican: They were our toys first.
Greek Orthodox: No, they were ours first.
Branch Davidians: He who dies playing with the biggest toys, wins.
Atheism: There is no toy maker.
Polytheism: There are many toy makers.
Evolutionism: The toys made themselves.
Church of Christ, Scientist: We are the toys.
Communism: Everyone gets the same number of toys, and you go straight to the opposite of heaven if we catch you selling yours.
B'Hai: All toys are just fine with us.
Amish: Toys with batteries are surely a sin.
Buddhism: Wanting toys causes suffering. They either break, or you outgrow them.
Taoism: The doll is as important as the dump truck.
Mormonism: Every boy may have as many toys as he wants.
Voodoo: Let me borrow that doll for a second...
Jehovah's Witnesses: He who sells the most toys door-to-door, wins.
Pentecostalism: He whose toys can talk, wins.
Existentialism: Toys are a figment of your imagination.
Confusianism: Once a toy is dipped in water, it is no longer dry.
Non-denominationalism: We don't care where the toys came from, let's just play with them.

The new FAO on 5th (well new from two years ago at least) is not as cool as the old one. I used to go down there once a month at least just to look at toys and occasionally buy some stuff...the kid in me.

This weekend sucks!

So the Yankees are facing an uphill battle against the Angels. Hope they pull out of this one. The game today was pretty intense. Down 5-0 then went up 6-5 only to be beaten 11-7. Ugh! I don't know, they just lacked the stamina to pull things through today. Then again, I don't fault them. NY has a pretty tense weekend with the bomb alert, and I pray that all will be well. After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...
