That's cool!

Leaf blowers are actually a lot of fun to use, although they're heavier than they look.
 
That apparently the expression "Grin and bear it" came from the Odyssey. I was reading along happily and then Telemachus said it to the king Nestor. It was devastating somehow....

I've learned that to drag Oly back from "life," one should mention his pink beard and to start speaking Shakespearian. (not quite today, but within 24 hours, so it counts.)

Really? I gave blood for the first time this year and it didn't hurt at all. 0.o What did hurt was when they poke your finger to check your iron level.

I learned that most of my friends are planning on going to the same university as me and the same program! ^.^
 
I learned that certain people in government are STILL heavily pushing for deceptively-named "food safety legislation," whose REAL purpose is to crush and eliminate small independent food producers, and place our ability to get food under the total control of ONLY whatever big producers the government favors. If it were about protecting consumers from food poisoning, the politicians would admit what they all know: that BIG food producers have ALSO had contamination scares.
 
If you're home from school sick you should take that oppurtunity to get your Conceptual Physics homework done, not play video games...=_= Heh...heh....
