When I was at the doctor's office a long, long time ago, I read in Time magazine's "What Makes You Unique" issue that males who have older brothers are something like 45% more likely to be gay than anybody else. It has something to do with being in the uterus that's already been occupied by a male baby or something to that effect. I started to laugh at people like Benton and Daniel Seeto, who both have older brothers, only to realize that they both have girlfriends, whereas I do not. Such cruel, cruel irony.

Has anyone ever really thought about the superheroes Batman and Daredevil? I know I've discussed this with a few people already, but shouldn't their names be switched around? Daredevil uses sound for a kind of radar, much like a bat's use of echolocation. And Batman ... well, he doesn't really have any powers, does he? So it'd take a lot of courage to go fight a bunch of bad guys when you're just a wimpy little human with no superpowers. Thus the name Daredevil, the man without fear! Bruce Wayne, Daredevil! Ben Affleck, Batman! [I forgot the actual secret identity] Seriously, I should be in charge of this superhero business. Yeah, that's right. Move out of the way, Stan Lee. Actually, Stan Lee did Marvel Comics, and Batman was part of DC Comics. You know what I mean, though.

I like how when I paste or italicize something in AIM, it screws up my font. Now I have to resort to using caps or bold. Stupid new version of AIM. New, but not improved. I like the other version more! Ooh, now I have the option of "Edit Away Messages" when I go to the Away menu. Big whoop. Jerks.

You know what band is a good band? Yes, that too. But also Better than Ezra. I should listen to them more. To set 'em up, and let 'em fall. Turn 'em over in your hands. God save the King of New Orleans!
