there are few things as ironic as tea party protesters holding signs they created espousing the "importance" of having a good grasp on the engrish language.

lovely listing features weird real estate.
i'm not sure why -- but this series, called drunk history had me laughing so hard, i cried.
the basic premise is that they get a comedian really drunk and then have them tell a historical story as best they can under the "circumstances".
the twist though, is that they then get fairly well known actors to act out the scenes in full historical garb and miming the story exactly as rendered from the drunk comedian.
it's kind of a weird premise but it works for me.
if you're offended by bad language, be sure to just skip it.
there is a rumor going around that bbc has commissioned a new episode of red dwarf, a wonderful sci-fi comedy.
if you haven't seen it, make sure and rent the first season. rachel and i had a couple of red dwarf parties years ago with friends. red dwarf on the tv and vindaloo curry in our hands (watch the show and it will make sense).
here's a little clip from the show:

1966 and all that is a fictional account of british history. it's pretty amusing if you like history and puns.

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question:
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
