Correction

Correction: Kel has rightly pointed out that the SAT scores were recentered a few years back… meaning both Al and Dubya more than qualified for ND. Regardless, I still beat both of them. 🙂

Go Antny!

Look everybody! My little brother made the Fort Wayne paper as a “Top Performer” for high school football last week… He caught 3 touchdown passes!

Breastfeeding

Wow. This is a really interesting essay on breastfeeding. Not something I’ve ever really thought about before… but worth reading, I think.

Politics and brains

I’m in a political mood today. This is cool – Bush’s & Gore’s college grades and SAT scores. In case you couldn’t guess, Al came out ahead. (To be fair, though, neither one of them were exactly shining students.) I looked up Notre Dame’s admission’s info to find out where they ranked against us, and it turns out that while Al is solidly average ND material, Dubya’s below the average range. Also note that Al took eight government courses in school to Bush’s three.

Hey Pants!

Hey Lizzie! I certainly hope you mention “vegetarian theology” in that there class you teach. Hahahaha…

Politics again

My politics are showing: “Bush angers slain man’s family.” I’m just shocked at the degree to which Dubja just doesn’t seem to care about people.

RIP Scour

Bad news for online music fans… Scour has filed for bankruptcy. (Scroll down for the story.)

Quick Poll

Quick Poll: Look at your right hand. Are your index and middle fingers the same length? If they’re not, you’re probably a lesbian. That’s what a ridiculous newspaper article says, anyway. This quasi-scientific justification for discrimination makes me sick. (For the record, my middle finger is WAY longer than any of the others. I don’t think my boyfriend’s too worried though…)

Respect

So of course I didn’t get a chance to watch the Navy game this weekend, being in England and all… But I read the recap this morning and was really touched to hear about the stuff Navy did to honor the sailors killed in Yemen.

So what?

What the hell? The Observer has this ridiculous story about two Pyros who lived together in the same room for three years. My first thought was: “That’s stupid. Lizzie and I did THAT.” And then I remembered that Liz actually lived in 3A freshman year. But it sure didn’t feel that way. *grin*
