Degrees of Seperation

So, my coworker forwarded this website to me. It's ridiculous. Basically, you enter in 2 random things and it finds the shortest path between those things by using dictionary and encyclopedia definitions. Kinda like 6 degrees of seperation except on crack. If there is more then one path, it gives you all the options. http://www.omnipelagos.com/

Example: Flower to Cracker

Flower
[Uses by humans / Flowers as symbols] Poppies are a symbol of consolation in time of death. In the UK, Australia and Canada
Poppy
[Common varieties] Various commercial brands of matzo also come in flavored varieties, such as poppy seed- or onion-flavored.
Matzo

Cracker (food), a thin, crisp, edible wafer, usually salty or savoury, rather than sweet (also called "biscuit")
Cracker

Now, please, try this out because I would be very interested to know some of the relationships between random things in your life. For instance, Jenny to Lucy.

And then there's Jenny to Erin.

The perfect cheer!

This is what Susan (one of my roommates who plays for Danger) and I did last night. It was my idea, haha. The gameplan is to learn all the perfect cheers from SNL and do them at tournaments instead of singing for cheers after games. And no, we can't figure out how to turn the video so it's not sideways. If you do know how to do this, let me know.

Snakey pictures!

Michael Smith came over on Sunday to take some pictures of Snakey eating. Unfortunately, it's breeding season for Snakey, and he currently exists only to find a pretty girl snake. He was completely uninterested in the scrumptious rats and on the hunt for that special someone...

Michael did capture a few pictures of Snakey, thought I'd share the link.

Jaggoffs

Honestly, before this past weekend, I thought that 'jaggoff' could possibly just be a word that Tracy made up and yells at the sideline before we play clam, but I was proven wrong!
Nick decided to call a store in Sq. Hill to see if they were still open in the evening, here is their conversation:
Man: "Uh, hello?"
Nick: "Hi, is this The Exchange on Forbes Ave.?"
Man: "Yeah, we're really busy, so leave me alone you jaggoff" click....

Is that bad customer service?

Virb's Top 5 Reasons to Have a Car on Campus

5. You can drive home in time for sweet parties at Penn before they all scatter for break.

3. You can drive to and from late-night practices in the Cost Center.
2. You can drive TallE home at 5:45 in the morning when you finish watching "Stick It" (after being awake since 7:45am the previous day).
1. You can sleep in your car when you get back at 6am from driving TallE home and realize your housekey was in your jeans that you took off when you put your comfy fleece pants on, and the door is locked. And NONE of the 6 people sleeping in your house wake up when you ring the doorbell about 10 times.
