Our Camera is Broken

Today Evelyn and I went to the U.S. Open. Well, the US RubiX Cube open. What did you think? Tennis? Golf? Surprisingly boring, actually. It took 24 seconds to make it out of the first round.

I wish my scanner worked better.

Will Smith is B.S. I’ve seen the video of him doing it in “55 seconds”. Only the algorythms that he uses make that practically impossible. I’m guessing he’s a liar just like his uncle Phil

Vampires: A revolutionary theory

Posted by on 6/13/2007

How do we know that vampires can live forever? I propose that at the average life span of a vampire is 1 billion years old. Around the age of 1 billion years, they shrink to the size of a pack of playing cards. They probably have about 2 months in this strange stage. After that they turn into pizza dough and die.

Stephen Hawking thinks I’m a simpleton

I read “A brief history of Time” when I was in 9th grade. I probably didn’t understand it but wanted to pretend that I did. Did I finish it? I’m not sure. This was the same year that I pretended to read “A Tale of Two Cities” in English class because it was both difficult and boring (did I misplace a modifier or two?). Difficult and boring are bad qualities when you’re actually trying to read a book and not pretend to read it. I don’t remember A Brief History being that difficult or even interesting, actually. But maybe that feeling was just posing too. I think I mostly tried to read it because I heard that this really smart guy in some weird wheelchair thing who wrote it and maybe I would be smart if I read it too. I first learned about Hawking while watching Lisa Ling on Channel 1.

Here’s a quote that I thought seemed silly:

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.”

Stephen Hawking (1942 – )

Would he be as famous if he had a fully functioning body?
