Out of the Blue

I've invented a new metric for quantifying humidity. It's called the Chip Scale, expressed as the time it will take for a potato chip to become completely inedible from soaking up too much moisture from the air. I'd say yesterday was about 1 hour on the CS, which is about as bad as it gets around here.

Humid Links: Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play: Slow and Blow Kings.

My blue men group. Thanks Neatorama.
Science: Lying is part of child's development, study confirms. I've said this for years. Thanks WalterEgo.

Media: Francis takes exception to Diablo 3. NSFW. Lighten up, Francis.

Inedible? A potato chip? Surely you jest, good sir!

If you don't know what I'm talking about here, you must live in the desert.

And don't call me Shirley!

8 straight weeks of 100+, so I guess it's close enough.

Humidity can get brutal as well, but I've never let chips lie out long enough to let them get the point where I WOULDN'T eat them. The whole idea is just... anathema! Fie, I say! Fie, Shirley!
