Caveman of the blog.
NaNoWriMo is upon us.
National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, is upon us once again in a few days. The idea is that everyday people undertake the insane task of trying to write an entire novel in a months time. Anyone who writes a 50,000+ word novel within the month of November "wins".
This year is great, since I just got cut back on hours. Now I have tons of free time to write my masterpiece, or if it's anything like last year, play video games and mumble to myself about how I should be writing.
I'm doing it, I think Jason is as well. Who else is with me?

Tom needs to eat
After trying to add me to this thing many times (possibly 40, which is terrible), Evan finally got me into eating. This half-creature/half-man explains just how my face brightened when I logged into my gmail and saw the invitation. You shall be seeing more of me, world. This will be the
What the Hell: a post for the grammar police.

Wait, who?
On the way home from class, Jason and I were having a conversation about his experimenting with Linux. The conversation went something like this:
J: "I need to take a look at the Kernel later."
M: "But the Colonel is dead!"
J: "But his music lives on."
M: "...what?"
J: "His music lives on.... oh, that Colonel. His chicken will live on, and die and be eaten by me."
M: "...which Colonel were you referring to before?"
J: "It's not important."
M: "But now I must know."
J: "... I'll find one."
M: "You know Evan is gonna give you crap about this, right?"
J: "Yeah..."
Haha Jason... you need to eat.
Picture nonexistent.

Heart attacks CAN be delicious!
Faithful YNTE reader Rena sent in an article I missed about a hamburger with grilled cheese sandwiches for buns, which, despite being potentially deadly sounded very tasty.
Well, as always, I got distracted and didn't post it right away. Luckily now I can claim I was just waiting for the inevitable follow-up.
OH MAN. I think my arteries got clogged just looking at that. Still, worth it.

Someone forgot to tell me to eat
So, for a couple of weeks prior, I'd been skipping meals to get homework done. Last Wednesday, though, I started having severe stomach pains. The next day I go to the health and wellness center on campus, and they diagnose me with gastritis. Basically, this is a condition of the stomach lining being inflamed by too much stomach acid due to a number of causes, including... *drumroll* Stress! (And probably enhanced by not eating!)
So yeah. I need to eat so this doesn't happen again. BUT, I'm not allowed to eat tomato products, citrus, caffene, or NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for the time being. In a nutshell, that means no pizza, no soda, no orange juice, and no ANTI-INFLAMMATORY medicine (ibuprofen) for the INFLAMING of the stomach.
Sucks, no?

OMG. Bear hit and run?
Bear may not have been driving, but that doesn't mean he can't hit and run.

Patricia Bougie was driving along Kennedy Road in Torrington and a bear ran out of the woods and right into her car.“It just came at me, so I swerved to the right up on the green and it just kept coming. There was no escape and it nailed me,” she said.

Karma, you had a good run.
Karma was officially disproven today in what is probably the single most bizarre news story I have ever read.
A Kansas man left his girlfriend alone in the bathroom for two years before calling the cops, only to find that her body had been fused to the toilet for over a month. In return, he won 20,000 dollars in his second lottery jackpot of the year.
If I knew all it took to get rich was having a crazy girlfriend/toilet hybrid, i would have engineered one years ago.

Who is on driving range? Oh my god, bear is on driving range, how can this be.
I never knew bears were such avid golfers, but here it is:
"In Whistler Village, a large male black bear met a similar fate after biting the leg of an Australian tourist who was walking as the bars closed. The bear fled, but returned into Whistler the next evening, and was shot when discovered on the driving range of a golf course."

More fun with google
As part of their 10th anniversary, google has made available a search of their oldest available index from back in 2001.
While a lot of the links are dead by now, you can learn interesting things, such as the fact that Chinese Democracy is 99% done and will release in 2001. Who knew?
