Sigh

I would like one day to be a juror, but am terrified of the people who end up on jury duty. Being around people that dumb can’t be good for you.

Jennie Stencel is my new hero

I’d never heard of Jennie Stencel until this Metafilter post, but now I’m cracking myself up watching youtube videos of her.

Futher evidence that the French are the luckiest people on the planet

Even though their retirement age has been raised to the beastly age of 62, the French really have it good. They strike all the time at the barest provocation, and they get approximately a million days of vacation per year. It turns out that their kiddos are rather lucky, too. An 18-month-old, who was somehow unattended by her parents (they must have been suffering from ennui or taking a siesta), fell from a sixth-story window, bounced on a business’s awning, and was then caught by a doctor. How much luck can one person have? It’s amazing enough that the awning broke her fall, and then she landed in the hands of a doctor? I want that kid to pick my lottery numbers.

Not the child in question.

When you’ve run out of things to cook

I’m always on the lookout for a new recipe. Just last week, I made a jambalaya that I really liked and will definitely be making again. But if that doesn’t float your boat, how about a nice meal of squirrel with red wine and juniper? If this sounds like something you’d want to make/eat, click this link to see a very detailed instructional video on how to do so.

Standing up to hatred

If the zombie apocalypse comes (note: do not watch that show right before bedtime), the college students I’d want saved first would be these kids from Minnesota State University, Mankato : http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/11/01/mankato
