I stumbled across this yesterday (while looking for population density maps for a biology lecture) and thought it was pretty cool. If you've ever wondered what you get when you connect all of the postal zip codes in the United States in ascending order (like a giant connect-the-dots puzzle), then here's your answer:If you're interested, you can see an animated version of the map here.

Pooh, Piglet, and swine flu

I try not to be an irreverent jerk on this blog, but this one made me laugh:

Respect the van

I have to say...I like the new Honda Odyssey commercials:

Infomercial Hall of Fame

Since infomercials have been a previously discussed topic on this blog, I thought I'd let you all know that The Daily Beast has published their list of the 12 craziest infomercial pitchmen (or women). Here's the Cliff's Notes version:
1. Vince Shlomi: Can you use your ShamWow to clean your SlapChop?
2. Billy Mays: Could sell ice to Eskimos (and if you call in the next 20 minutes, he'll throw in some free Oxy-Clean).
3. Susan Powter: Stop the Insanity...a tall bald woman can probably scare me into buying ANYTHING.
4. Ron Popeil: Now what was I supposed to do after I set it?
5. Richard Simmons: Does "Sweating to the Oldies" refer to the music or the man?
6. Suzanne Somers: The Thighmaster...'nuff said.
7. Donald Trump: Will tell you how to get rich...
8. Jay Kordich: Can make healthy and delicious juice out of anything
9. Tony Little: A mullet with muscle.
10. Matthew Lesko: The government's giving away money...so why's he on my TV instead of standing in line trying to get some for himself?
11. John W. Scherer: Video professor...so certain you'll be satisfied, he'll send it to you for free.

Their 12th person is Billy Mays again, this time on Fox News. I think I'll substitute my own here:

12. Chuck Norris: He'll sell you a Total Gym and then kick your ass with it.

200th Post!

Don't look now, but the last post was the 200th to this blog! If you're wondering what to get your favorite science-teacher-blogger-guy on such an occasion, I'll offer you this suggestion (although I'd prefer the V8 model):

Before the PSP

I don't know if this will work on the school computers (which is fine since you shouldn't be playing games on them anyways). But I couldn't resist sharing this Old-School hand-held football game with you. Yet another little bit of happiness that Coke Zero has brought to my life.

Job Satisfaction

I got home late from the basketball games tonight. Unfortunately, I've been having issues with being able to post to the blog from school again...that leaves me setting here trying to get a few things posted before I go to bed. This caught my eye:

Things I Like...

If anyone's wondering what to get that special biology teacher in your life, let me offer you a suggestion:

Ever fell like they're out to get you?
