    What's Your Favorite Joke?

    Every now and then a joke pops into my head and gives me a little chuckle. Some return again and again over the years, and I still find them funny. So it was the other day, as my memory played out the punch line of one of my favorites, that I felt the urge to share it with others who either...

    I Just Read The Best Essay

    While idly browsing the Internet instead of doing my work, I stumbled across what may be the best essay ever written on the subject of being a nerd in the disfunctional society known as high school. It's very long and just as enlightening. See http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html
