Breaking Bad Prediction

Todd's neo-nazi ex-con Uncle Jack will surely share some of the $70 million with him. So why is Todd bothering with cooking meth (and keeping Jesse alive to make it 99% pure)? It must be part of Todd's plan to woo Lydia. And what's Lydia's tragic flaw? Her addiction to Stevia.

Walt will poison Lydia by disguising ricin in a packet of Stevia. It will be part of a plot (a la Brock) to flush out Todd as a pre-requisite for saving Jesse, and redeeming Walt's soul.

And somehow Walt will kill Uncle Jack, get his money back, and use it for benefit of Jesse and/or the surviving White family. The scheme will have something to do with poisoning Jack with fumes, since he doesn't wear a mask in the meth lab.

After the last episode, please use the comments section of this post to marvel at my psychic abilities.

Regarding the Abdication

In the actual resignation letter, which wasn't made public, the Pontiff revealed that he had woken up in a cold sweat at 3am, realizing that he really didn't know the meaning and purpose of life. The poor old guy just didn't have the energy to keep pretending.

BuckyBall Pyramid

On Thanksgiving, my brother introduced me to BuckyBalls, and I've become a bit obsessed. They work better than prayer beads at pacifying my mind.



Last month, BuckyBalls were taken off the market, due to government harassment. (While this is upsetting, at least marijuana is still legal, I think.) I got mine just under the wire. I'm pretty sure you can still get knock-offs from China.
