My favorite line yesterday was from Harvey:

When he heard that a sword wielding Texas man stole several tacos, President Obama...said it was proof that too many Americans were suffering from a tragic lack of tacos, and the government needs to take over the taco industry. Welcome to TacoCare.
  
Cookies to Harvey!

Anonymiss is really busy these days and is having difficulty finding time to judge the straight line. What should she do?

  1. Use a random number generator to pick "winning" lines, and be sure to award cookies to walruskkkch (you know how cranky he gets).

  11. "Intermittent Reinforcement is a term that originated from B.F. Skinner’s theories on Operant Conditioning and Behaviorism.

    "Intermittent reinforcement is given only part of the time a subject gives the desired response.

    It is often used instead of continuous reinforcement once the desired response is conditioned by continuous reinforcement and the reinforcer wants to reduce or eliminate the number of reinforcements necessary to encourage the intended response.

    "It was discovered that if you want to train an animal to do something, consistently rewarding that behavior isn’t the best way. The most effective training regime is one where you give the animal a reward only sometimes, and then only at random intervals."
