You people and your conspiracies. Everyone knows helicopters don’t exist. Enough already.

Nothing like a good conspiracy post to get me out from under my rock.

Reminds me of a high school history teacher I had who judged essays on length rather than content. Some of my classmates used to answer questions by listing menu items. It was quite a while before he caught on. Then, he kept a careful eye on them. But not everyone. I had an essay answer once where I still had a couple lines left at the bottom of the page. So, I filled those two lines literally by writing something to the effect that I had two lines left to fill so I was just writing what I was writing to fill those two lines.

He complimented me on my long, apparently thought-out answer.

I had a college English teacher who made us watch five different conspiracy
theory movies- one of which was JFK and then write papers on them.
It was an odd class to say the least- very enlightening, but I am not sure what
I learned from the experience. Perhaps that getting tenured has it perks?

Get a comic book instead. The Catcher in the Rye is one of the most overrated books of all time.

I feel like going out and buying The Catcher in the Rye for some odd reason…

Oil is over $100 per barrel.

Canada has large reserves of oil.

Crazy thing is that I saw 2 of them flying in formation last night when I got off the train!

It sure made me wonder what the heck was up…
