    Sheep or a Car

    Let's say you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of 3 doors: Behind one door is a car, and behind the others, sheep. You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a sheep. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door...

    I signed up for RoommateClick.com after I got of bunch of mail from people offering me rooms and couldn't it read them because the inbox is locked until you pay for the service. So I paid the $7.

    Random laundry question

    I washed a pair of Levi jeans for the first time using Tide liquid detergent. No bleach. Warm cycle. I dried them on cotton cycle. Now there are a few random little holes all over the jeans. They are still wearable, but may not be if they get ripped apart like this again. The rest of the...

    Should the Seahawks keep Alexander?

    Even in his best season I had no faith in him during the playoffs. He is inconsistent and gets most of his stats from the fact that he is always given the ball at the 2 yard line and the occasional big game he has. This year he was basically worthless both because of injuries and performance...

    What accent did your math professor(s) have

    Started my first (and last) college math class today. Sure enough the professor has a thick accent. It is a high-pitched one that sounds like a French/German mix. He rambled on about the textbook author's last name meaning a christmas tree in German, but he sounds like an expatriate frenchman...

    The room is tainted.

    Don't you just hate it when you find a big bad spider crawling in your room, and you miss your chance to crush it as he runs underneath your bed? Now I've lost him. And maybe I'm the only one, but there is a certain freshness to a new home when you haven't seen the first spider. Now it is...

    Student organizations

    So I just moved to a college with a town in it and don't really know anyone. My roommates are graduates working for the university so I'm trying to meet some younger people. I figured student organizations were the way to go, but after looking at the list not much interested me. There is the...

    Why would a company do this?

    So in two days my accident is officially 3 years old and not taken into consideration for auto insurance. I got a Progressive quote that was $55/month, much better than the $125/month I'm paying now through eSurance. Even eSurance quoted me about $55/month. So I e-mail them to ask if I can...

    Graduate school major requirements

    I know that what you do in graduate school doesn't really have to match up with what your undergraduate major was. For example, my brother majored in Mechanical Engineering but got his MBA at the same school. Is there any sort of general guide as to which majors can lead to which graduate...

    Your life's posessions, all in a truck

    How many times have you done the drive where everything you owned was packed in a car or truck, off to a new place? I first did this when I was 18, about a 45 minute drive to Seattle. I did it again the opposite direction, leaving Seattle. Now I'm going to do it in a couple of days to...

    Anthony bourdain

    I'm addicted to this show because street food really is the best part of travelling. The Ireland episode was really good and he was right, there is nothing like having a pint of Guinness in the Crown Saloon.

    ------------------------- DISCLAIMER: My last response to him was not intended to be much of a valid arguement. I made some points I believed in but for the most part I was making a point that his throwing the Iraq war in my face made no sense and I could easily do the same to him. So please...

    So I went to Quiznos today...

    I went to Quiznos today and got a Turkey Bacon Guacomole for the first time. Surprisingly tasty. I pay with a gift card and as the machine is doing its thing the manager takes my card and rubs the inside of his lip with it or chews on it or something. I don't know what the hell he was doing. He...

    Do you talk to yourself?

    Do you ever find yourself talking to yourself? I noticed some guy rambling on to himself in traffic today. I don't think it was a speaker phone either because he was driving an old car and didn't seem like he could afford a cell phone.

    Toilet paper substitute

    I read The Beach while in Amsterdam, a couple weeks before heading to Vietnam. The narrator told about Southeast Asian bathrooms not having any toilet paper, but just a pitcher of water, and he was very confused as to what the hell to do with that. Well fast forward a few weeks and I find...

    I am going back to university this Spring and am motivated to jump into a Computer Science major. I searched the archives here and found many negative things to say about the field in 2003 or so, but the current search turned up nothing. After looking on Google I saw that the BLS says that...

    Tax question

    I sold $8,000 worth of stocks, with a profit of around $3000. However my total income, including stocks, was somewhere around $15,000 (including income given to me while a dependent for a few months). Is Uncle Sam going to come asking me for money soon? Would it be better to be a dependent or...

    What did you think you'd be when you were a kid?

    Sometimes it's interesting to see how far our goals have come since we were kids. When I was a kid I dreamed of nothing less than being an NBA player and was sure it would happen. I was very tall and very good at the sport. Now I'm in college going towards my first degree and haven't played...

    Seahawks v Broncos

    Anyone watching the game? Hey Holmgren, let's do a fullback run on 3rd and 12. Then give it to Alexander on 3rd and 10. Then Hasselbeck, throw a 1 yard pass on 3rd and 15. And remember, you get an extra five seconds in the huddle today.

    I think my video card is crapping out.

    My computer has restarted twice today, and the first time Windows XP blamed my video card upon startup. I believe both times it happened while playing a video in media player. The video card is a Radeon 9500 and to be honest I haven't touched the system in ages so it's probably layered in thick...
