CNN ranks the most lucrative college degrees to have... my degree is bottom rung, 3XK is number 5. Good thing I'm going to grad school!
I'm going back to Twist tonight (previous post). This time it's not for the yummy food, but to celebrate the 21st birthday of my fellow Francophile, Steph. I always looked over at the crowded bar area in horror... I'm not exactly thrilled, but I'm sure it will be fun.

Favorite Super Bowl ad: NFL:

"As of tomorrow, we'll all be undefeated again."
This whole 'replacing evolution with the phrase 'biological changes over time'' is too ridiculous to even comment on. However, I found this interesting:

"Nationwide ridicule of Georgia's public education system will be inevitable if this proposal is adopted," said Carter, a former Georgia governor. (from this AJC article)

This could bring about a wonderful change-- using Georgia as the touchstone "redneck, uneducated" state instead of Alabama. GA kids are already #50 on some measures of school success, now it's finally gaining some attention... I'm so mean, but dangit, we don't deserve the bad rep.
LAURA!!!!! and everyone else who likes funny rap - read this plain English translation of 50 Cents' and Lil Kim's "Magic Stick"

Excerpt:
Shorty don't believe me, then come with me tonight
And I'll show you maaagic
