Printers
How infuriating is the printer not being able to properly print your asignment yet fully capably of producing a flawless test page?
VERY!

Occam's Razor
Ethics professor brings up Occam’s Razor. When met with blank stares from the class he goes on to explain it. Explain it in terms so utterly unnecessary that not only do I think that perhaps I have been wrong about the meaning of the phrase but perhaps he’s not sure himself. To the best of my recollection this is what he just said;
It’s the principle which states that the...
Couric vs Palin
Do you think while interview possibly the next Vice-President of the United States of America, another woman, she couldn’t help but think. “You’re who they picked? I’m more qualified! Your complete lack of knowledge on this is shocking. I can’t believe that we’re so close to having a woman in this position and you’re who they went with”
Guy in class raised his hand to explain why he picked an answer in multiple choice. The professor was looking for someone in class to explain the theory behind the answer. His response as to why he picked answer B. “I guessed”
Away lepers!
Everyone seems to be horribly ill at school. Also the internet is so intermitant in some of my classes that it took 2 hours for me to load up the page with the professors slides.

Dear Mr. Cohen and Mr. Greenfield,
On behalf of PETA and our more than 2 million members and supporters, I’d like to bring your attention to an innovative new idea from Switzerland that would bring a unique twist to Ben and Jerry’s.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl
If there’s one show that I love, in that wow I have to be careful who I gush to about it, it’s this show. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I’m downloading season two now, or rather the show up to this point. Ahhhh fall, how I enjoy you.
Eureka
Love the show except that in a town where the weirdest shit happens every day, no one and I mean no one, cuts anyone any slack. Someone will come up and say “Hey something weird just happened” and the answer will be “No way, nothing like that could ever possibly happen in this town where weird shit happens daily!”

To determine within 75% confidence whether you were...”

Read, regurgitate
My class in geography, which is required for my degree, is the biggest waste of my time. It literally is read and regurgitate. There’s no thought required at all. All I need to do is memorise and then when prodded reply. I haven’t even opened the text book and I’m doing better then half the class. Although there is one brainiac about two rows down who smoked me on a trick...

Determination
I have house centipedes in my place. For the most part we have an uneasy truce about our interactons. My sink however seems to be a focal point of conflict. They fall in, and well can’t get out. This leads me to discovering them in either two states. Drowned or skittering about when I turn on the water. (They tend to hide under things)
Today I found a medium sized guy and decided that I...

Yay wireless
Only the second time I’ve been able to get onto the wireless at my “wired” campus. Either the network isn’t available or it won’t assign an IP address. It’s especially annoying when professors refer to their slides being available through our online learning tool and we’re unable to connect to it.
Quantas Airline Mechanics have some wit. →
Perhaps the reason they’re the safest in the industry is because they have some genuinely quick fellow doing the repairs.
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a ‘Gripe Sheet’ which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight.
