Lies, They’re All Lies!

If you haven’t done so already, check out Google Moon. At first, its features may seem a little sparse compared to Google Maps/Google Earth. After all, using either of the latter two services, you can view road maps, do local searches, and plot driving directions. Google Moon, on the other hand, only has satellite images. But, hey, it’s the moon. Who doesn’t want to see the moon in all of its desolate glory? It even has multiple zoom levels of detail. Not only that, but I learned something from Google Moon that totally contradicts everything that I learned in school: The moon is made of cheese! Don’t believe me? Go to Google Moon and click the highest zoom level and see for yourself.

As for prom, the Advocate again wasted no time in posting select pictures from the Heath Prom. Number 12 is a awesome. All I have to say is why didn’t the Joe Show make an appearance at our last Prom? Anyway, the pictures are pretty good, especially the bouncers (picture 2). Enjoy.

Episode III: Best Sports Movie Ever?

According to Kenny Mayne of ESPN’s SportsCenter, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is the best sports movie ever. Better than Field of Dreams, Hoosiers, any of the Rockys, or Caddyshack, to name a few. His biggest disappointment was over the small number of football scenes. George Lucas, the man behind the Star Wars saga, said that originally they had a lot of football scenes in the movie, but they had to cut them because they were too gruesome for the theater. Now, Kenny only has to convince the original R2-D2 and Chewbacca.

Ok, way OT, but to continue on what I was talking about on Friday, IBM has announced that it will be switching to Firefox internally as the supported browser for the company. I’d just like to say, I’m pretty sure that with IBM’s track record, they can’t be wrong on this.

April Fools!

Woah! I can’t believe it. Someone actually fell for my April fools day joke. Sorry if I got you all worked up in a tizzy, but it was kind of fun. Don’t feel to bad, either. My watch tricked me into thinking that April 1st was on Thursday. Somehow the thing got a month ahead, so it advanced months a day early, since April only has thirty days in it. It is all fixed now, so maybe my April fools day jokes in the future will actually appear on April fools day and not any sooner. Note: Don’t know what I’m talking about? If so, check out this entry for the details.

Oh, by the way…

Poisson d’Avril! Hahahahahah!
(Boy, I sure do miss French class.)

Valentines Day and All That It Entails

An excerpt from Social Science today:

He continued to lecture us on dating and "rating" for the rest of class, or about 45 minutes. I found it slightly comical that this man who I think has never been married was lecturing on the topic. That and that he wrote SEX on the black board. Maybe that is a little bit of immaturity showing through on my part. He basically said that men were in dating for the sex and women were in it for the money. He also explained the brutal cycle that kept most couples of the time from getting anywhere in their relationships.
