*sigh*
i knew this day would come...
i just had no idea it would be so soon.
lol.

apparently we have our first Internal Assessment in IB on Tuesday.
well, its in IB Spanish 5. so all the seniors already have had half their IA's already.but for a junior this is new to me.

a test that, unless i'm mistaken, will somehow play a role in my final IB grade in the class.

now this one isnt really a "test". its a one minute speech about an endangered animal completely in spanish. but the stigma that an IA has makes it much more important than the normal assignments in this class that ive gotten pretty good at BSing. but this is something that i have to take time and prepare for...

yuck.

call me a nancy. but this seems to be a big deal. and who knows. IA's may be a small part of the overall grade. but the way Profe makes it sound, i NEED to do well on this.

and so... thats what i'm doing tomorrow night. preparing for this speech...


and so it begins. IB isnt going to get any easier from here.


so i guess we will see if i survive as a senior, eh?
lol.

Current mood:  adventurous

ok... so to about ten or so people I "mass messaged" a text that asked quite a provocative [and slightly redundant] question...:

"So if you were stuck, hypothetically of couse, on the stereotypical deserted island, and you could hypothetically bring one hypothetical electronic device with you, seeing as how you can plug it into your hypothetical coconut tree that has an outlet, what would that one item be?"

i got a couple of interesting answers.
most were quite bland... ipods were the number one items to bring.

 

tyler seemed to be one of the few people to actially ponder the question. and so begins the dialogue...
tyler is red. I'm blue.

 

Well, hypothetically of course, can i bring something to get me off the island?

I'm bringing my F-16 battery operated fighter jet, so sure. =] but you can only do something like that if it's not stupid. like a boat. cuz thats a gay way to escape an island...

yeah exactly. ok i would bring my rechargeable, life lize buzz lightyear that had real flying action and real lasers! and cool action phrases like "We're almost home!" and "Want to stop at buger king?" or "lets stop terrorism!" Yeah. Hypothetically, thats what i would bring.

good. thats creative enough. Because if you hadn't come up with something creative, i would have my hypothetical robotic sharks with jet engines force you to go back to the island... lol.

whew! that was close then!

yeah. you were on the edge... had you soent twenty nine years training octopusses to sing and dance, however, i would use my sharks to escort you home... lol.

well me, buzz, woody, and that t-rex guy would have competed and won against your singing octopusses on american idol. me and simon go way back.

whatever. i would take my jet and fly to Paris. not paris , france. the french smell. but i would go to Paris, Yugoslavia. i've always wanted to meet those Yugos... or i might go hunting for Osama. That way when i find him, i can put HIM on my hypothetical island...

too bad. me and buzz already killed him.

no way. I'm friends with Charles Gibson at ABC news. if Osama went down, i would know.ut i did hear that you were the one to take out stalin... nice work.

no, that was Woody out runnin around on his own again. but thnx for the credit though...

gah. stupid woody. yeah, while we are on the topic of disney caracters and assasinations, i went with aladdin and took out the the north korean's old prime minister, ya know... we had a good time. we used the flying rug that aladdin owns...

nice... well me and jack sparrow went on a pirate raid and took out ghengis khan.

wow. that was like... 900 years ago...

yeah. after i found the fountain of youth, i kinda just kept on going...

nice. at the age of fourteen... i would have waited til at least my mid twenties. and then i would get my smokin hot wife to drink the fountain too. that way she doesnt get all old and wrinkley... =]

well at the time we didnt know how long the fountain would last.so it was best to get it while we could.

but its the fountain of youth... thats gotta have a lifetime warranty or something...

well turns out it did... but now the fountain is destroyed. and the man who did it goes by the name of...

dang. that sucks. who is it?

Darth Vader!!!

GASP! no way? i thought he got blown up inside the death star!...

well the planet that he destroyed (while demonstrating the destructive power of the Death Star to prncess Lea) had the fountain of youth on it. there might be other fountains, but i dont know where they are.

dang. that sucks. well i'm not working on Monday. I'll look for them then. Hey, since we are on the topics of hypotheticals, would you choose Cottonelle, or Quilted Northern?

Quilted Northern. No doubt.

Electric or Regular razor?

electric

yeah... i'm a fan of the regular blade. and its only got like two blades on it. the ones that have like ten blades freak me out. i want to cut off the hair on my face, not slaughter a cow...

yeah. same here.

Maybe you should bring your electric razor to the hypothetical island, since it could plug into the coconut tree...

maybe... NOT.

just a suggestion... hmmm... i need to shave. I'll do that tomorrow before i leave for church.

yeah, me too...

So i have to make a decision. Do i make this hypothetical island a paradise, or an awful place to be? I can put whatever i want on it. it IS hypothetical. so i could put mirages of drop dead gorgeous women, or i could put toenail clippings the size of scyscrapers...what do ya think?

awful. but part of it is super beautiful. you just have to find it.

only if you find the map hidden in the sand.

yeah yeah yeah and there are two halves and you gotta find both.

But one of the halves must be guarded by a giant.he doesnt have to be mean or stuff. he can be nice. he just has to live in the cave and guard the map. and if you get too close he will eat you.

and the other half is buried in man-eating quicksand...

so i just realized something. this is a "stereotypical island". meaning that it has to fit the stereotypical SIZE of a stereotypical island. where do we get room for all this stuff?

so theres this volcano and it spits out lava like crazy, making tons of new land...

Oh. Ok. hmmm... time for dinner. gimme a minute to eat. i do need you to ponder how people are going to get STUCK on this hypothetical island...

Gimme some time for that one...

Ok.

TIME.

Got it! The plane everyone is flying in is in the air and gets stripped by an electromagnetic field... The passengers are falling when large birds cathch them and drop them on the southern tip of the island.

But what about the wreckage of the plane?

It gets thrown into the ocean away form this island.

hmmm. that seems plausible. it is, by the way, PURELY HYPOTHETICAL...

 

I dont care if that was long and boring to some...
and its not even that long. it just seems long cuz this conversation has been going on for the past four hours...

it was very amusing to go back and retype... lol.

finals suck.

drinking a gallon of water in less than 5 hours messes with you.

 

you THINK its no big deal, until you realize how much water it really is!

and then my dad freaked out cuz he said i had diluted all my electrolytes, and that i was going to die...
oh well.

 

but now that i'm no longer a human water balloon, im pretty thirsty.

isnt that just an amazingly exciting story? =D

 

and now i'm so bored that i'm going back though all this and chaning each line to an increasingly darker shade of a color.

quite
fun.

Is There a Santa Claus? A Scientific Analysis

1. No known species of reindeer can fly. However, there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has seen.

2. There are an estimated 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. But since Santa doesn't – apparently – handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total – a mere 378 million, according to the Population Census Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there is at least one good child to each home.

3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west, which seems logical. This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each 'Christian' household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get into the sleigh, and move on to the next house.

Assuming that these 91,800,000 stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but which for purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .76 miles per household, a total trip of 75,500,000 miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours. This means that Santa's sled is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times faster than the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized Lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting the ability of 'flying reindeer' (see point 1) to pull perhaps ten times the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight or even nine. We need more. Actually, we need 214,191 more, or a total of 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload – not counting the weight of the sleigh – to 353,420 tons. Again, for comparison, this is four times the weight of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth.

5. This 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance, which will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14,300,000,000,000,000,000 (14.3 quintillion) joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will almost instantaneously burst into flames, exposing the reindeer behind them, who will repeat the process, and they will also create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to acceleration forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion, if Santa ever did deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

 

 

i stopped believing in Santa when my presents showed up 3 days early, since my parents got tired of finding places to hide them...

Christmas Eve and Other Stories
By Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Release date: 15 October, 1996
November 25, 2007 - Sunday 

TOP JOKE IN WALES. A turtle was walking down an alley in New York when he was mugged by a gang of snails. A police detective came to investigate and asked the turtle if he could explain what happened. The turtle looked at the detective with a confused look on his face and replied "I don't know, it all happened so fast."

TOP JOKE IN ENGLAND. Two weasels are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, "I slept with your mother!" The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do. The first again yells, "I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!" The other says, "Go home dad you're drunk."

TOP JOKE IN SCOTLAND. I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

TOP JOKE IN NORTHERN IRELAND. A doctor says to his patient, "I have bad news and worse news".

"Oh dear, what's the bad news?" asks the patient.

The doctor replies: "You only have 24 hours to live."

"That's terrible," said the patient. "How can the news possibly be worse?".

The doctor replies: "I've been trying to contact you since yesterday."

TOP JOKE IN UK. A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off - go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."

TOP JOKE IN USA. A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man." The man then replies: "Yeah, well we were married 35 years."

TOP JOKE IN CANADA. When Nasa first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, scientists spent a decade and 12 billion dollars to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

TOP JOKE IN AUSTRALIA. This woman rushes to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off: "Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were bloodshot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What's WRONG with me, Doctor!?"

The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says: "Well, I can tell you that there ain't nothing wrong with your eyesight...."

TOP JOKE IN BELGIUM. Why do ducks have webbed feet? To stamp out fires. Why do elephants have flat feet? To stamp out burning ducks.

TOP JOKE IN GERMANY. A general noticed one of his soldiers behaving oddly. The soldier would pick up any piece of paper he found, frown and say: "That's not it" and put it down again. This went on for some time, until the general arranged to have the soldier psychologically tested. The psychologist concluded that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his discharge from the army. The soldier picked it up, smiled and said: "That's it."
