A funny quote from the Physics video yesterday regarding the use of gases in blimps and airships of that sort: Helium does not possess the lifting power that hydrogen does, but helium has the advantage of not exploding. I thought that was a rather amusing understatement. (describing it as merely an advantage)

I've taken issue with a certain license plate ... thingy. You know the things that go around your license plate that have phrases or puns that some might consider witty. I don't know what they're called. Anyways, I saw one the other day [and I've seen it before, but it just triggered something then] that said, My grandkids | Are cuter than yours. That just annoyed me like hello. Other license plate covering things like, On time | Is when I get there and I'm not spoiled | I'm not I'm not I'm not make statements that don't concern other people. It's all in the spirit of poking fun at yourself. But along comes this grandkids business, which bothers me for two reasons: 1) This statement makes the assumption that everyone who reads the plate has grandchildren. This is obviously not the case. 2) Those are my grandkids you're talking about!! How dare you insult my grandkids like that? What gives you the right to judge people before you even meet them? I could just as easily call your grandkids the scum of the earth, but I choose not to. Arrogant snobs. It's something called manners. Even Jerry Maguire and the fish know it. If you read this and later get that license plate cover thing, you better hope I don't find out about it because I will hunt you down like the rat you are and give you the beating of a lifetime. That's all I'll say on that matter.

Regarding Comparative Government, I'll have to say that I have never not known anything more than I didn't know Comp Gov. I'm pretty confident about U.S. Government, though. I hear from Stephanie [W] that it was the hardest thing she's ever taken in her life. It just occurred to me now that it was Stephanie I was talking to, meaning she got a low 5 instead of a high five! Pun intended. I'm into sad music lately.
