Coincidence? I Think Not...

There are 5 days in the average working week.
There are 5 letters in the word "LUNCH."

Yeah. Just think about THAT...

Woe is Me

Apparently I am the only "under 25-year-old" not on MySpace. And this is becoming a problem. 5/7 of the people I know in this world are on MySpace. 2/7 are not. I'm HOPING this means that 2/7 of my friends still have SOME sanity about them. But it also means that I am not able to verbally mock 5/7 of my friends. NOT that there's anything wrong with being on MySpace. Okay. You want the truth?

I'm jealous. I guess. There are like 6 people who I would love to comment to or "be friends" with. But, and herein lies the problem, you have to be a member to actually do that. Kind of like how at all the grocery stores now you need a little card to get cheaper avacados? But then sometimes even if you DON'T have your card they let you get them for 67 cents anyway?! I think that's what MySpace needs to invent. The all-accommodating, not-totally-frequently-used, get-the-avacados-at-a-cheaper-price kind of card.

And here's why I feel I absolutely can't get a stupid account of my own; I already had one scare last year when one of my students walked up to me and asks, "[Miss Parker] are you on MySpace?" There you have it. I refused to be tracked down and have my weekend outings viewed by 10-year-olds. Not gonna happen. Maybe what I need to do is get a sponser. Like someone who will post comments FOR me. I could be like the MySpace PIMP with all my little, well, you knows... running around doing all the dirty work. Hmmmm... It's amazing how inspired I get at 12:20 on a Saturday morning.

SHARK ATTACK

In a constant effort to avoid getting various brain-degenerating diseases as an "old person," I try to learn a new fact everyday. Well, I guess I'm more apt to think of this grand quest when I hear an interesting fact, but at that moment I think, "I should really try to learn a new fact every day..."

Which was exactly the case today as I was watching a thrilling episode of MythBusters on the Discovery Channel. It's a special Shark-Myth day where the guys are testing myths that have to do with the movie JAWS to see what of it could have actually happened. So far, MythBusters 2, Hollywood 0. (It's not quite over. I had to hurry into my room to blog about what I learned so that I wouldn't forget!) I'll keep you updated...

So the fact for the day is, (now everyone try really hard to remember this so we don't all end up at the Funny Farm together,) Coconuts kill 10 TIMES more people each year than sharks!! Whoa! No kidding. Lesson for the day: it's perfectly okay to swim in shark infested waters, just try to make sure there are no coconut trees around.

Okay, I have to get back to find out if punching a shark in the nose will stop it from eating you alive.
