A Ticklish Plant?


I recently learned about what is known as the "ticklish plant," more uncommonly known as mimosa pudica (literally translating to sensitive plant).  Its leaves fold inward instantly when it is touched. You can buy one here. (disclaimer: harass plant in moderation)

Do Try This at Home

Here's 8 seconds of fun...

College!

I miss the ridiculous things that used to happen in my apartment at school. Things like this. 3314, i miss you (not you shelly).

"It was a spectacular travesty. I had tossed the can of minced clams onto the top shelf, and everything just tilted to the side and crumbled down in such a satisfying, slow-motion manner.That urine spot is actually water that leaked out of the clothing iron which was inexplicably in the “pantry”. Probably my bad. It does look like a hungry bear swiped his giant paws at the shelves, decided that he didn’t want the seven boxes of matzo, took a piss on the carpet, and scampered off." - Jessers

Hey everyone, if you love me you'll also love this!

Holy Black Holes!

Nothing makes me wonder more than the topic of outerspace. I could think of any aspect regarding outerspace off the top of my head and then start researching so far into it that my brain feels like it could explode. My most recent obsession is BLACK HOLES. As defined by good old Wikipedia black holes are "a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull." Imagine that! Check out these cool photos and get sucked in like I was! (ha)

Best Friends!

Nothing warms my heart like best friends from different species...






Settlers of Catan

In case you are in search of another means of wasting your time on the internet, I suggest you learn how to play Settlers of Catan. My good friend Lauren introduced this unusual game to me and I have been hooked ever since. The first time I looked at it I was sure that I could and would never learn how to play. However, through many many hours of game play, I have learned all the tricks of the settling trade. The only way to really get the hang of it is to keep on playing. The basic idea is to gain a certain number of points through settling or building towns and cities on the map. There are other means of getting points and a bunch of other rules which are all explained here. (thanks cutes)

Register and begin playing here...






























best game ever!
