[MBZ] Real Life (tm) conversation with a high school student

2010-10-01 Thread Van Knutson
Scene: Me signing out a bathroom pass to a high school student
ME (signing out pass) : What time is it?
GIRL (looks up at clock on wall) : 7:27
ME: Oh, 7:27 ?  Do you know what a Boeing 727 is?
GIRL: No, I never scored that high, but I like bowling.  I once had four 
strikes in a row.

More Friday funnies.

Here are my favorite winners from this year's Ig Nobel awards:

PEACE PRIZE: for confirming the widely held belief that swearing relieves pain.

Richard Stephens, John Atkins, and Andrew Kingston of Keele University, UK

ECONOMICS PRIZE: for finding ways to maximize financial gain and minimize 
financial risk for the world economy -- or for a portion thereof.

The executives and directors of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Bear 
Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Magnetar
