Today I learned how to choreograph robots.
Neat! Teach meh. :D

Today I learned that yet another middle eastern country is protesting their Government in favor of democracy. Dozens of protesters were killed by the country's military police, and plenty more injured. They didn't have the freedoms of speech OR assembly, so instead of asking for them, they demanded them. I hope the rest of the middle east takes an example and rallys.

Today I also learned that the United States has been offered money to help assassinate this guy over there that's causing all sorts of problems. Crazy crazy stuff happening.

Today, I learned people who think they can troll but fail are annoying.

To ZV, sure. We're using Karel J Robot in Blue J and if I remember correctly, you just have to make the robots you're using private. I forgot. Java is just plain confusing.

Hi no Seijin

So, the other day, I was reading this Cracked.com article on crows, ravens, and other corvids.  This being Cracked.com, don't be surprised if you run into a bit of harsh language.

Wow, Alfred Hitchcock wasn't kidding.

Today, I learned I should have gotten more foam sheets to make the gauntlet on my cosplay.

Hi no Seijin

Yesterday, I learned that a saw can cut through skin.  But don't worry, I still have my pinky attached.

Ahhh, Wood-shop... The class that never should have been.


Hi no Seijin

What?  No, I was helping my dad up in the attic; he was making shelves so my brother and his girlfriend could store some boxes up there.

Today I learned the radius of my comfort bubble.

Today I learned that Colgate had trouble marketing toothpaste in Spanish speaking countries. Colgate translates into the command "go hang yourself".

Had no idea.

One more is that when Hippos get pissed, they sweat red beads!

Haha, that's actually kind of funny. Like in German, the word "Dusch" (pronounced "doosh") means "Shower".

Today I learned one AP test is enough.
