This is what happens when you get up and take medicine that makes you wired and drink coffee that makes you wired and you read WIRED magazine while you smoke on your front porch and then post your first thoughts of the day on ILX.

The only funny thing I've seen on Family Guy was a take-off on the start of Back to the Future 2. "Marty! There's a problem with your daughter!" In the Delorian, Doc says, "She married a black man!" And Marty is like, "Uh...Doc...that's really not cool. I don't think I'm okay with you anymore."

three years pass...

Was watching this movie over the weekend, and you know the bit where he arrives in 1966, and there's just about to be a nuclear/final destruction?

He's talking to his friend's son just before the people go into the bunker, and in the window of the supermarket there's an item labelled as "The latest in tubeless television screens" and whaddayaknow, there's an Ipad. A white one.

I liked the episode of Wishbone where they're looking at a gallery of human inventions, and it ends with a PC, and then some matte black prism that looks like the thing on the cover of Presence. The future!
