“People who don’t have money don’t understand the stress.”
– Actual quote from a partner at an accounting firm for the wealthy
Well then. We cover other injustices endured by Wall Street traders over on Pinterest.

Damn. Well, it can’t be all that stressful if people with wealth are constantly trying to acquire more of it, and...

Well there ARE good viruses, so yes.
Okay, true, though it depends on your definition of good. Hep A might prevent Hep C, but you still get Hep A. There might even be some viruses that kill cancer, so that’s promising at least. Frank Turner: The Hep A of music!

Oh Frank Turner. Meg and I spread him like a virus through our friends.
If that virus is awesome and cures all ills, then yes, I believe he has spread like a virus.

My brother (watching American Idol): Hey do you like Dave Matthews band?
Me (with headphones in ignoring the television): No.
Brother: Really?
Me: Really. I can't stand him. I'm listening to Frank Turner right now, he's way better than Dave Matthews could hope to be.
Brother: Whatever, fine, put your headphones back in.
Me (does so gladly):

Aren’t you just supposed to show up in my life, perfect, well adjusted and with rippling abs and biceps bigger than your head and then I fall in love with you? That’s what all those romance novels I’ve been reading tell me. And Katherine Heigl movies I’ve watched.
To quote the Yeti, Obviously not.

PAGE LIMITS, MAN.

They’re my archenemy, I swear. My analysis of “The Burial of the Dead” (from T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland): finishes at 8 pages. The page limit: is apparently 6 pages. Well, damn.
It’s The Waste-Land. Just write a note to your teacher saying “Fuck it, this poem is meant to be over-analysed.”
I’ve personally never had a professor mark me down or even...
Why Black History Month
edwardspoonhands:
So I posted this SciShow video earlier today and, well, I was surprised by some of the comments. Many viewers were of the opinion that recognizing scientists of a particular race was unnecessary and even wrong.

An intoxicated elderly gentleman just broke into...
He only turned around and walked out because he heard- but did not see- a dog snarling at him. He did not see her because all the lights were off and Starbuck is almost entirely black. Had he seen her, he might not have been so hesitant (as she weighs all of fifteen pounds). Once he walked out, I ran up and locked the deadbolt, but a minute later he changed his mind and tried to force the door...
