ANDY: What are the odds that a planet in a far-off galaxy would have the name Mexico? And also be known by the names Honduras, Guatemala, etc.?
CARLOS: I do not know why this seems unlikely. Clearly we occupy a universe in which it has occurred. What is the probability that you wore a hat today? ONE POINT ZERO. It is certain.

WENDY: Exactly. Is it odd or unlikely that we happened to land on a planet where there also resides a Gaxian? it is not odd. It is not unlikely.
CARLOS: It is unfortunate…but, ah

WENDY: …it has happened.

WENDY: Our flesh is poisonous to Gaxian biology!
GAX: JUST BECAUSE I’M ON A DIET DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T LOOK AT THE MENU

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
