HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWILL!!!

My dearest Twill:

HAPPY FRICKEN' BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Bid Farewell to your teen years and come join us on the Dark Side! *DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!!!!*

May your years be many and rich with good memories and times! I wish you the very, very best here from Shireton and my special envoy will be arriving soon in Clearwater to deliver you a vast train of gold, gems and silver (It's all about the bling bling here in Higherton Shire).

Harry Potter

It's kind of depressing how 95% of people start out at the bottom doing typical entry-level jobs, slowly working their way up over the years to a higher salary. And then there are those who achieve instant stardom and end up making millions in one year, just for posing in a fashion show or doing one lousy movie. It's actually very depressing.

I was reading some Harry Potter stuff this morning, and I can't believe Daniel Radcliffe's going to get $40 million by the time he's 18. Oh, Hollywood. *sigh*

But anyway, I'm starting to feel bad for Rupert Grint. He gets very little time in press conferences. Daniel's all decked out in formal wear now but Rupert's still in jeans and a semi-dirty shirt. And in the photoshoots, Emma always seems to be hanging off of Daniel (I guess it's because of the rumours that they're dating?):

Why does one guy always have to be labeled the handsome hero while the other one is just his dorky sidekick? :(


I'll probably still end up seeing the movie, if only for Voldie, 'cause he looks DAMN GOOD in that Armani suit. XD

Are you smarter than a fifth grader? (Part II)

So ya.... I was channel flipping today and I came across "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?".

This last contestant for the night was a pre-med student at Kent State University... kinda hyper, mid-late-twenties, but very dumb.

He was asked three questions, and the way he answered two of them blew me away....

First question: From Grade 1 Health Education:

"True or False? The Esophagus is the passage that connects that your mouth to your nose?"

His answer: "Well I know the pharynx is the throat part... *drones on and on and on without anwersing the question, mean while, the kid got it in five seconds*.... I'm going to say....... FALSE"
(No wonder he WAS a pre-med student....)


Second question: From Grade 1 Earth Science:
"A man-made basin that stores water is called: a.) Channel b.) Reservoir c.)Isthmus"

His answer: More talking and "reasoning", while the kid gets the answer in five second flat.... and in the end, he decided to take a peek.... that's when I rolled my eyes and changed the chanel....

So ya.... this is a good show to make one feel good... Let me just say that I'm content in the fact that while there are a lot of people out there who are smarter than me, there are a lot of people out there who are dumber as well!

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

$2,000 question (1st grade animal science):

True or false? In the wild, polar bears typically feed on penguins.

Constestant: "I'm going to have to [cheat and] peek at Laura's answer."


$25,000 question (2nd grade US geography):

What country has the longest shared border with the United States?

Contestant: "I'm going to say Mexico."


Not to mention all the really easy math questions that nobody seems to get right...

I'm so freaking jealous of Americans. Yes, let's all reward the stupid by giving them insane amounts of money.
