thoughts approaching summer break
- Has anyone else ever wondered why the audience claps when someone finds a daily double on "Jeopardy!"? Does the audience realize that they're applauding pure luck? You'd think a "Jeopardy" audience would know better.
- One of these days, I'm going to calculate how many free 12-packs of Diet Dr Pepper I could get per year just by cashing in from recycling old Diet Dr Pepper cans.
- Speaking of which, I've got quite the pyramid of cans going on my end table right now. Okay, it's not a pyramid; more of a set of skyscrapers. I really need to clean my apartment...
- I realize now why I didn't get to play basketball on my high school teams and onward. It wasn't that I was too short. It's that I was too fundamentally sound. I tend to pass more than I shoot, so I was immediately disqualified.
- The bottled water industry has to laugh out loud every time they look at their profit margins.
- I don't know why, but in computer golf games, I enjoy making golf courses more than playing the game itself.
- One of these days, I hope to be traded from one university to another for the equivalent of 35 million euros.
- Less than a week until the 25th!
