"If you need to study for the LSAT, choose a different profession"

There once was a young man named Rex
With minuscule organs of sex
When charged with exposure
He said, with composure,
"de minimis non curat lex"

On a scale of Learning to Pomegranate

I doubt that people are inherently good, and it is questionable to say that people are inherently smart, but it is most definitely true to say that people are inherently entertaining.

Syllable Spammage

It has come to my attention that girls don't always make sense. My favourite quote today depicting said lack of sense:

Apes invented words so they could communicate with each other, not spam each other with syllables.*

Apparently words have prescribed meanings that ought to be followed.
___________
*I suppose one could say apes fling syllables, let us not be apes.

Edited to add:
The second best quote of the day (although I guess it's technically a different day) goes to Jon Stewart, remarking about a CNN newsman that, while interviewing the first Muslim elected to the US congress, basically asked the congressman to prove he wasn't planning on destroying the country:
"Finally, someone that says the things that everyone that isn't thinking is thinking."

At least I know what Tetris is

1) I want to swim across the English Channel. How awesome would that be? Apparently the fastest swims are just over 7 hours. It's quicker to swim from Britain to France by at least an hour. It's like the Mount Everest of swimming. And if one is successful, one's name and time are recorded here.

2) I want to be see a case that deals with s. 7(2.3) of the criminal code:

Despite anything in this Act or any other Act, a Canadian crew member who, during a space flight, commits an act or omission outside Canada that if committed in Canada would constitute an indictable offence is deemed to have committed that act or omission in Canada, if that act or omission is committed
(a) on, or in relation to, a flight element of the Space Station;
or
(b) on any means of transportation to or from the Space Station

3) I want to meet Jon Stewart or be mentioned on the Daily Show.

Today in History/Why Torture Doesn't Work

Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, twas his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By God's mercy he was catched
With a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the King.

There were fire works near Whyte Ave most of the evening last night.
