C'mon

You know what really grinds my gears? A "friend" on facebook posted a status about being accepted in to college and posted the exact number of minutes since he received the email.  I am happy for you bro, no need to tell me exactly when you got the email. I can make the safe assumption that it was recent because of how monumental this occasion is...

Templates and Zombies.

I know exactly what you are thinking, "Oh does he now."  If I was correct then awesome and if not then eh I guess it was worth a shot.  There are two things I want to address in this blog: Templates and Zombies.

The first one is pretty straight forward.  I decided to used one of Blogger's new templates.  It has a little side bar and stuff.  There were a couple of options, but up at the top there is an option to switch between a couple of the different dynamic views that Blogger has added.  I liked the Mosaic option but I think that it makes the front page seemed cluttered.

Zombies are an interesting topic. I was recently told that there is a college that has an official zombie emergency plan in place.  I can't blame them.  There was a time when zombies seemed as far fetched as mobile computer, but then the laptop was invented.  So, I mean, anything is possible.  What brought this up as a topic is a text I received from a friend the other morning.  I was groggily waking up one morning when I looked at my phone and a friend who lived in the room next door had texted me in the night.  I opened it up and it said, "Hey man I think there are zombies outside." 

How am I supposed to respond to that! It sort of freaked me out because of how taken back I was.  So, I started thinking how would I respond in a zombie assault.  A couple of questions arose as I considered different options.  A big question I had to think of was should we go hoard food first.  My thoughts are that the group of people I will be grouping up with will eventually need food.  We can't last forever with the little sustenance we have in our dorm.  So, should we wait to go get the food once we need it or go right away? Who goes?  Should everyone go or is the buddy system the default for a situation like this?  I feel that we should go get as much food as possible right away, the fastest and strongest should go, and I think there should be some who stay back.  What if the scavengers end up getting surrounded and all dying trying to get food? Then at least there are some survivors.  Also the scavengers need to be fast on the chance they do need to run away and strong so that they are able to carry ample amount of supplies.  The advantage to going early in the zombie onslaught is that there are fewer zombies giving you a number advantage in comparison to later.

Irritating

You know what's really irritating? People who don't hold down the B button while playing Super Mario so Mario basically walks through the level and time seems to pause as the player walks through the level.

I can only imagine

I am a big fan of the comic strip xkcd, and this last one made me think. 
It makes sense.  There is logic behind the decision, but what if everyone did it.  What would happen?

Stuff my Biology teacher says

In high school I had a very quotable biology teacher.  It seemed highly unlikely that any teacher would be able to compete with him.  However it appears that my college biology professor has a tendency for some remarkable quotes as well.  Here are a couple that I have collected throughout the past few weeks.

1. "Its all about the rocks in the pants."
2. "You guys learned shit in high school apparently."
3. [how to play Barrel of Monkeys] "Its not really a drinking game so I don't remember."
4. "Don't ever look in the mirror, its bad luck."
5. "What on freaking Batman channel does that mean?"
6. "They love you, they partially dehydrogenated vegetable oil."
7. "They gotta be tight so shit doesn't get in or out.
8. [phospholipids]"Kinky is good. Trust me on this. 

 Never a dull moment.  I'm always paying attention.
