If you're so smart, why do you live in Miz-er-ah?

Apparently, the smartest man in the US lives in Missouri. Isn't that ironic?

Read about him here. His life's work is to prove that God exists.

Sweet as pie

Continuing my pie theme, I took a silly quiz called "What kind of pie are you?" Turns out, I am a lemon meringue pie. Go figure. I thought I am an apple pie with a crumble topping. Mmmmmm. I sound delicious.

You Are Lemon Meringue Pie

You're the perfect combo of sassy and sweet
Those who like you have well refined tastes

the old "good pie, bad pie" routine

Last night, I made my first key lime pie. The first attempt was quickly followed by my second attempt. See results below.


This was my first try. It looks like St. Patty's Day threw up in a pie tin.
















This was my second try and what key lime pie is supposed to look like.















Not being a family that wastes desserts, we tried the first pie and it was actually good. Ben is eating his second piece right now. I didn't get a taste of the second pie because it went to my girlfriend Caroline as a birthday gift. Wouldn't it be too ironic if the "normal" pie was terrible??

Polar Bears are too cute for Global Warming

Did you know chargers for cell phone, Blackberrys and handheld games can consume 10 percent of the electricity in your house?

Polar bears are already suffering the grim effects of global warming: birth rates are falling, fewer cubs are surviving and more bears are drowning. With more than 25 percent of the world's polar bear populations already in decline, further warming could drive this beloved animal to extinction by the end of this century!

Order free "Unplug for Polar Bears" and "Turn Off Global Warming" stickers for chargers and light switches by emailing: polarbearsosinfo@nrdc.org. Be sure to give your mailing address and how many sets of stickers you need (each set contains six stickers, 3 each of "Unplug for Polar Bears" and "Turn Off Global Warming"). Supplies are limited so keep your order to two sets.

30 Rock rocks!

Favorite line from last week's episode of 30 Rock:

"On a personal note, in my mind, the Foo Fighters song "Best of You" is about your managerial skills."

p.s. Do me a favor and watch this show. It is my favorite show on tv right now.

If this doesn't make you smile, there is probably no hope for you.
