winandtonic:

When I was little I sat on my sister’s lap while she read this to me. She did all the voices.

I laughed until I cried.

in this old school Mickey Mouse and Goofy comic, they are sold drugs (speed), become drug dealers, and go to Africa. Seriously, kids read this in the 50s? crazy.

on MIT ruining everything forever.

on MIT ruining everything forever.:

That thought sits in the back of my head every hour that I’m awake.

I feel worse every time I talk to my friends who are working or going off to grad school. What did I do wrong? (What am I doing wrong?) Were my grades too shitty? Was joining a department where a 3.2/4.0 is considered…

I had the same problem when I graduated, with similar grades (seriously, fuck course 9, but that’s another story). It was horrible and I felt poor and there was lots of crying involved. Oh, and this was in addition to getting rejected from 17 medical schools. Eventually, I got a sweet job. It just took longer than I thought it would (it was July before I was making any money). So, don’t give up hope.

To be honest, though… I still feel like a failure. I’m 99% glad that I didn’t get into medical school because research seems great now (I was not a huge fan of my UROP work), but I barely got into OSU graduate school— my “safety school”— and am constantly reminded by my clearly elitist friends that “you’re going to be so much smarter than your peers.” For one, I’m not sure that’s true just because it’s a “state school” and it’s definitely not a positive thing if it turns out to be true.

My point is: Did I squander my chance at an MIT education by not getting straight As, and will end up in second-tier research for the rest of my life, and not actually accomplish anything useful? Because that’s what it feels like. I still HTFP.

so uh.. inspirational words from an MIT grad. At least it was cheaper for undergrad than anywhere else I could have attended (including OSU)?

Billy, a psychology major, writes: “I love all forms of science, my favorite being evolutionary biology. So I decided to get this tattoo of Charles Darwin with a mohawk. I put a mohawk on him because I love punk rock music, and view him as revolutionary.”

I’ve been researching tattoos recently and I came across an entertaining collection of science tattoos, and this is by far the wackiest.

I have a few designs in mind, but I’ve been struggling with where to actually put it… preferably somewhere easily hidden for formal occasions. I’ve been leaning towards my wrist, since that would be visible but easily concealable with a watch or a bracelet. Any suggestions?

Icelander’s Campaign Is a Joke, Until He’s Elected

Icelander’s Campaign Is a Joke, Until He’s Elected:

Last month, in the depressed aftermath of the country’s financial collapse, the Best Party emerged as the biggest winner in Reykjavik’s elections, with 34.7 percent of the vote, and Mr. Gnarr — who also promised a classroom of kindergartners he would build a Disneyland at the airport — is now the fourth mayor in four years of a city that is home to more than a third of the island’s 320,000 people.

In his acceptance speech he tried to calm the fears of the other 65.3 percent. “No one has to be afraid of the Best Party,” he said, “because it is the best party. If it wasn’t, it would be called the Worst Party or the Bad Party. We would never work with a party like that.”

this is like reading an Onion article, except it’s real, and that’s awesome.
