Incompetence
I can’t even bs my stats homework properly!
I thought the parts to a free-response handout were multiple choice options, so I circled them.
3/12 on that packet.
How to spot a murderer's brain
Do your genes, rather than your upbringing, determine whether you will become a criminal? And if we can spot people predisposed to crime, should we intervene? Tim Adams reports
Interesting expansion on the nature/nurture debate.

“I thought they said rice and I don’t even eat rice.”
— Kevin Curtis (charged in ricin case, charges dropped)
When I went to eat dinner today, my mom pointed at the broccoli and laughed. She said that my dad had called them “berkeleys.”
Utopia
If I had a street, I would call it something like Road Street, or Street Avenue.
Better yet, if I had two streets and a house, my house would be at the intersection of Road Street and Street Avenue.
If people asked me where I lived, I would just say “Road,” and if they asked me which road, I would say “Street,” and if they asked again, “Avenue.”
I would marry a young Gregory House so our house could be the House House.
This would all be on my island, Road Island. The island would basically have these two roads and my house and nothing else.
I don’t know where I was going with this other than Hugh Laurie is still my celebrity crush, but road, street, and house don’t even look like words anymore, so I should stop.
Everything I do has a different texture to it now. The nebulous future is suddenly more immediate. If there is a moment this old chapter ends, it’s already happened, and everything from now through summer is only the turning of the page.
Diana showed me a picture of a guy whose name was labelled as Chen-Chen, which she found hilarious.
This reminded me of pens from UPenn (Penn pens), and we laughed about a guy called Chen-Chen with a Penn pen.
I googled a bit, and there actually IS someone called Chen Chen studying at UPenn. There’s even another guy called Chen Chen at Penn State. Chen Chens’ Penns pens…
Not to mention I then found the Linkedin profile of a random woman called Pen-Pen Chen. However, I don’t think she studied at any Penn, which is a pity. She could have had Pen-Pen Chen’s Penn pens.
Douglas Adams & John Lloyd’s “The Meaning of Liff” is a collection of invented definitions assigned to existing city names.
“Esher (n.) One of those push taps installed in public washrooms enabling the user to wash their trousers without actually getting into the basin.”

“Lower Peover (n.) Common solution to the problem of a humby.”
“Goadby Marwood (n.) Someone who stops John Cleese on the street and demands that he does a funny walk.”
“Aberystwyth (n.) A nostalgic yearning which is in itself more pleasant than the thing being yearned for.”

victor-zhang asked: start a project and don't finish it. time never flies faster as when you are procrastinating on something
I’ll do that later.
That should work too, right?
