has anybody gotten emails about this bonsai kitten thing?
I mean, it seems pretty hard to believe, my instincts are shouting "hoax" but I dunno there's a petition being emailed around and I don't know if I should sign it or not.

Hoax!

That thing as been around for a year now, at least.  I got it in my in-box thrice, I think.  Also, notice how in the gallery you never see the entire cat inside the jar?

My students are always making this mistake.

"Teacher, I confusing. What is answer for the number 2?"

[brainfiber]

Smart alec students... Oy!  I get one every class I T.A.  You know the kind: the class clown who thinks he can get by with his wit and good looks...  Or the pretty girl who blatantly tries to flirt with me in the hopes of getting a better grade...

words were randomly washing up on the shore we so often call the ‘page.’

yeah, except for the picture of 7 weeks that is "too graphic" and requires "permission to veiw"
That was a big red flag.

with some chicks, flirting is basically legal tender to most of the male population

man: "uh, mam you're going to have to pay for that"
chick:  "oh gee, I just spent the last of my money on my belly piercing...  see?" *lifts shirt and giggles*
man: "oh, uhhh... well i guess its ok"

Yeah, were where these girls when I was a pimply horny teenager?  Too bad (for them) that I still remember my rejection pains...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government struck back against a former Bush treasury secretary Monday, saying the U.S. inspector general's office will investigate how a "secret" document came to be shown while Paul O'Neill was being interviewed about a new book.

when you were a pimply teenager, you didn't have anything that they wanted... if you did, they would've been there.
