1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will always be cool. 2. A large box can be a rocket ship, a fire engine, and a racecar all in the same afternoon. 3. How to burp the alphabet. 4. Inadvertently – how to swear in German (oops). 5. Momentum = Mass x Velocity 6. Some adults aren’t worth…

Please Take My Card
As a recent grad who is virtually unemployed, depression creeps in on me a lot. That’s why my online presence has been lacking lately – it’s hard to get the motivation to write a blog entry when you feel like you want to die. I know more than a few people who have advanced degrees…
Brainrot
I’m house sitting this weekend to fund my upcoming trip to Chicago. As a consequence, I’ve been watching television, and am shocked by how much more entertaining the commercials are compared to the actual shows. This is not to say the commercials are good, like the one that tries to sell Fiats by filming them…
Weirdest Search Terms That Have Led People to This Blog
In no particular order, these are a sampling of actual terms some anonymous folks have entered into search engines, which subsequently led them to my blog. I realize that posting these terms will probably just make the problem worse, but some of them are just too hilarious (read: baffling) not to share. Corn pooh Ugly…
Out of Chicago
I’m sitting in my parents’ living room, eating potato chips, doing wrist curls with a 6 lb. weight, reading ‘Death by Black Hole’ by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and watching ‘Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House’ on their giant television. All at the same time. People say I don’t know how to multi-task. I spent my…
It’s a Great, Big, Mad World Out There

In Russia, Lemonade is Made From Turnips
I went to the James B. Murphy Auditorium on Friday to see Jeffrey Eugenides read and give a talk. I was too shy to bring my video camera this time, but Elizabeth J. Taylor of the Chicago Tribune arranged for me and eleven other students to receive free admission as well as a complimentary copy…
Fifty-Thousand Years Into the Future
This may be the worst idea I’ve ever heard (aside from Playboy Braille’s online edition). The ultimate anti-climax. KEO is the name of a time capsule that was supposed to be shot into space in 2003. Then they changed the proposed launch date to 2004, 2005, 2007, and so on. Now it’s set to be launched…
Rapture Kennels FOR RENT
Have stumbled upon the best idea ever. There are (apparently) dozens of organizations across the country that offer to take care of pets after their Christian owners have been taken up in the rapture. That is, the organization seeks out non-Christians to act as caretakers. So, once the Christians have been sucked up into Heaven,…
