ם Silly Drawings
Posted on November 15, 2008 at 12:34 am
My baby sister (read as: 18-year-old sister) called me up and said:
“I need you to draw me two pictures. One of a skeleton and a robot holding hands on the beach, and one of a bellhop and an alien on a date at a playground.“
Consider it done.
A skeleton and a robot, holding hands on a beach.
An alien and a bellhop on a date at a playground.
My other younger sister happens to have a birthday this weekend, and since I already had all of my drawing materials out (read as: a black Sharpie and a 24-pack of crayons), I decided to make her a birthday card.
I’m submitting this to Hallmark tomorrow.
I am the best brother ever.
ם Halloween

A fun game to play on Halloween in New York City: “Halloween or Crazy?”
Gameplay is simple. See that guy wearing a top hat and pretending to smoke a pipe? Is that because it’s Halloween, or because he’s crazy? How about the man wearing a hat covered in feathers and walking around with fistfulls of still more feathers? Halloween… or crazy?
Answers (I think): Guy 1—Halloween. Guy 2—Crazy.
Hours of entertainment guaranteed. Happy Halloween!
ם Things I Saw Today…

In one of my classes, the same kid always sits in front of me. We’ve only had the class three times so far, and:
- Day 1: He’s eating a banana, but has this strange wrist-flipping technique that un- and re-sheathes the banana in its own peel between bites. A little strange, but nothing to comment on. Until…
- Day 2: He’s eating an orange. Okay, so he likes fruit. No big deal—but what’s this? Hmm… he’s not sectioning the orange and eating it like, well, an orange. No, instead he’s eating it like an apple, taking direct bites right out of the side. Weird.
- Day 3: Today, he’s got an apple. But does he eat it like an apple? Of course not! No, instead, he’s peeling it with his fingers as if it were an orange.
Seriously, what gives?
Oh my. This is… amazing.

Two men having a conversation in Spanish. The taller one delivered his dialog in speech, as expected, but the shorter one carried out his entire half in song.
I wish I knew what they were talking/singing about.
Why I both love and hate mathematics:
From Volume I of Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russel’s Principia Mathematica, page 379:
“From this proposition it will follow, when arithmetical addition has been defined, that 1+1=2.”
This proof of this proposition is completed 373 pages later, on page 86 of Volume II, along with the note:
“The above proposition is occasionally useful.”
Thanks, Math. Love/hate you.
Also: Love Affairs and Differential Equations.
Keith Richards, apparently having run out of new things to snort, did a line of his cremated father’s ashes.
He once snorted the remains of his own dad, Bert, leavened with a bit of cocaine to make it go down easier. “He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared … It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive,” says Keith.
What a character.
Gerald Ford was not mauled senselessly by a circus lion in a convenience store, as previously predicted in this SNL sketch starring Dana Carvey as Tom Brokaw prerecording news briefs for every possible death of the former President. (via Defamer)
Farewell to both of you, Gerald Ford and SNL being funny. Rest in peace.
ם My Future

It’s that time of the semester again: class registration time!
Naturally, I had to do some credit-counting to figure out the remainder of my college career. And what did I realize? I’m graduating in 2 semesters (one semester early) with a major and two minors (Mathematics, Pre-Business Studies, and Computer Science, respectively).
And the kicker: I’ll be graduating roughly ten days after my 21st birthday. That is, needless to say, terrifying.
Eesh.
On a lighter note, here’s a video of a guy juggling inside an eight foot tall inverted plastic cone. I like to call it “Bohr’s Model of a Juggler.” (Hooray atomic physics jokes!)
