A cabinet caper, eh? Too bad. Still, congrats on the new home sweet home. :)

So this is an unusual case that I heard about occurring. A couple years back there was student enrolled in a Human Anatomy class. The student promptly dropped the class after the first week. The student then went to the counseling center. Apparently, this student recognized one of the cadavers as her grandfather.

Could be Urban legend, but I also heard it from people who would know if something like that happened.

Every time i look at the clock it is 11:11.  It freaks me out.  I will just be sitting there, typing, when i decided to check the time and it's either 1:11 or 11:11!

So in one of my classes, my instructor talked about pedophilia. Apparently, he worked with a number of pedophiles who had voluntarily gone through chemical castration even though they had never molested a child or done anything illegal.

I find it to be rather noble, but also creepy.

I just left a college Statistics class wherein several students didn't know the basic concepts of taking an average.

Geez. I'm math-phobic and even I know about averages.

So I'm looking at a box of stuff that has been left on my dining room table and what do I find? Well, EUOL's college diploma of course. I should have realized that my table was a perfect spot for it years ago.

I feel a great disturbance in the force. That is to say, I have a random feeling of foreboding, and I couldn't really tell you why. Does anyone else know what I am talking about?

what disturbs me is that I *do* know what you're talking about.

I know that feeling too well. I usually try to ignore it.

I have that terrible feeling of foreboding right now. There is definately a disturbance in the force. It's being caused by my wife going to Italy for a week and leaving me as the primary caretaker over our sons. The disturbance will end next week when she returns.

What can two little boys possibly do? Mwuhahaha!

Hey, 42! Wanna talk to your nephews and give them a few ideas? I'm sure my three sons can give them some pointers on how to handle one parent.

So after spending most of the day staring at the names of over 65000 students, I 've decided some parents should be fined for the names they give their kids. Names like "Keednap" and "Ransom" are just screaming abusive parenting.
