Ah, school, I love you so.

1. You can probably tell a lot about a person by how they normally treat telemarketers. Do they listen until they can politely end the conversation? Do they hang up at the first sign of advertisement? Is playing mean yet fun games their forte? I’m not sure what you can draw from this, but it would be interesting.
2. Why are none of us worried that most of our diet consists of dishes that were invented when people could afford no other food sources?
3. I think I like economics because it is the perfect middle ground between the proper and social sciences. On the one hand, there are many exact ratios and theorems to keep you busy. On the other, the fact that everything is subject to human whim, stupidity, and general insanity. The end result is an essentially useless yet entertaining subject where the word “widget” is a proper term.
4. Speaking of food, if I ever figure out what constitutes Taco Bell’s all purpose “meat”, will I run screaming in terror, or will I continue to feed a family of four for $5.69?
5. I hate it when people look like people. Specifically, people you’ve not seen in a long time. You’ll see this look-a-like person and wonder if it really is the person you’re thinking of, and all the changes are just representative of the passing of time. In the end you decide not to risk it and just hope that if it is the person, they will recognize you . Naturally, the reverse would be true for them. Interesting paradox.
6. Knowledge is knowing what. Intelligence is knowing why.
7. If we create God in our own image, why does he always have a beard? I want my God clean-shaven in converse sneakers and cursing a lot.
8. What sort of evolutionary need created the pig?
9. Due to the magic of technology, sometimes weird things happen. For example, my mental images of almost all of history are in colour. The almost all being the era of black and white photography. Damn you.
10. So, now I am a slave to entropy all the more.
11. How hard is it to understand the concept of a dry erase board? Why does this man stare at it in horror? He’s not even that old! ..yet.
12. One third of applicants get into Cambridge? Am I the only one surprised by that ratio?
13. Am I the only person on the planet who feels more for Antigone than Oedipus?
14. This looks very long on paper. I suspect it won’t be online.
