RNDP 30: The quest has ended

I haven't posted much lately on the quest for a Revolutionary New Dating Paradigm because while I continued to monitor the internets for new developments, everything I've found merely echoes what we already know:

• Smell matters, seriously;
• Having too many choices can prevent you from finding a truly suitable partner;
• Playing hard to get isn't necessarily a winning strategy;
  
• Well-being is related to having less small talk and more substantive conversations;
• Using social media can be complicated; and
• Beautiful women can cause men to do stupid things.
  

But now the quest is over.

In today's Dinosaur Comics, T-Rex gives us a revolutionary new dating paradigm.

You'll have to click through and read all the way to the last frame. Make sure you also read the mouseover text.

I'd like to thank you all for your patience during the years it has taken us to come to this conclusion. Especially those of you who held off on dating until we had this answer.

Health Canada Listeria Update

Q: The Stanley Cup was recently on tour in my town, and I kissed it. Do I have to worry about being infected by listeria?


A: You are safe! Listeria virus shelf-life is 8 months. The Stanley Cup has not been in contact with any Maple Leaf product in over 40 years.

Thank you for your inquiry.



A fist-bump to Peter H. for this timely contribution.

Fieldwork Opportunities with our friends at CSIS

Any bloggers out there looking for work that involves doing what you already do, that is observing, researching, analyzing and then reporting? I've found a perfect job for you as a surveillant:

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is seeking applications for a career in surveillance in the regional offices of the Service. Candidates must possess a high level of initiative, motivation and discretion, with the ability to work a flexible schedule. Under the direction of a team leader, the Surveillant is responsible for :

• Conducting discreet physical surveillance.
• Researching and analysing information pertaining to surveillance.
• Drafting regular operational reports, detailing exact movements and activities.

Other Requirements
Candidates should be in good physical health and be able to adapt quickly to a variety of settings and situations and manage a high level of stress.

Besides being able to adapt quickly and manage stress, you'll need a driver's licence and a university degree (but it can be any degree at all! even a useless one like journalism.)

Also there are the "Security Requirements":

Candidates must have no criminal record, must not have used illegal drugs in the last twelve (12) months and must be able to obtain a Top Secret security clearance. This process involves a security interview, polygraph and a background investigation that includes credit and financial verifications.

Worried about the polygraph? The internet can help you there.

If your finances are in disarray, perhaps you should consult Gail.

And if spending your days eating pizza in a white van isn't for you, CSIS has a whole list of other immediate career opportunities.
