Lefthandedness

Lefthandedness
Being left-handed is like being in a secret club. We have our own bizarre initialization rituals, such as learning how to write "the wrong way." We pay our dues every day, in terms of the extra effort that we must make to live in a right-handed world. For fun, I started making a list of the aspects of everyday life that are geared towards right-handed people. We have to use special "lefty" scissors. Back to Lucas' writings.

Math doesnt suck, you do. Every time I hear someone say "I suck at math," I immediately think he or she is a moron. If you suck at math, what you really suck at is following instructions. This shirt is birth control. Sucking at math is like sucking at cooking. Math is exactly like cooking: just follow the recipe. Math isn't some voodoo that only smart people understand. Theoretical math is cool as shit. Ever heard of Pascal's triangle? No, because you're too busy saying the same tired excuse every other dickhead spews out about math: "when will I ever use this in life?" First of all, if you're leading your life in such a way that you never have to do math, congratulations, you are a donkey. Why is math the only discipline that has to put up with this bullshit? But when it comes to math, everyone turns into a big pussy and starts PMSing all over the place. People didn't invent this stuff because they were bored. Don't like it?

Smart ideas on great visuals attract audience’s attention easily and they become a kind of art in the end. Here are some of the latest creations, each of which are virtual proof of what we’ve stated so far. Joyride: How to steal fuel in broad daylight What happens when someone tries to steal fuel from a car's tank in public during broad daylight? Logic says passers-by will tell them to stop, and have-a-go-heroes will be morally obliged to stomp their heads in, but logic doesn't always translate to reality. We discovered this first hand recently when, returning to one of our cars, we found the tank empty. Someone had taken the liberty of siphoning the entire tankful of petrol and made good their escape, leaving us stranded, incensed and questioning our faith in humanity. We figured if it had happened to us then surely it must be happening to other people. We gathered together all the necessary equipment: some hoses for siphoning, a drill-powered pump, an electric screwdriver, an 850-watt hammer drill, 30m of electrical extension cable, a petrol can for capturing the liquid bounty, and headed into the heart of the city. We began our experiment just around the corner from Picadilly Circus and Leicester Square. Did the public respond?

Ted's Caving Page, with the story of his discovery in a local cave. Due to the overwhelming number of requests I have received to tell about my discoveries and bizarre experiences in a cave not far from my home, I have created this web page. I will outline the events that happened to me during the past few months. Beginning with my journey into a familiar cave in December 2000 and ending... well, it hasn't actually ended yet. I will use my caving journal as the text to tell about my recent experience. I will give them to you as I experienced them, in chronological order. I have included photographs that were taken during my many trips into the cave. I want to point out a few things before I tell about the events: 1- Most of the pictures were taken with a Kodak disposable type camera. 2- I will not reveal the names of the other people involved in this experience. 3- I will NOT reveal the location of the cave to ANYONE for ANY REASON! If you think these events sound far-fetched, I agree. I will try to finish the site as soon as possible. Ted

7 Badass Cartoon Villains Who Lost to Retarded Heroes The hero's tale requires that he overcome long odds to defeat the bad guys. We understand that; nobody would have rooted for Luke Skywalker if Darth Vader had been a small, handicapped child. But many of the cartoons of our childhood took this idea to absolutely retarded extremes, to the point that it strained even our childish suspension of disbelief. These are the badass villains who had no business coming out on the losing end: Dr. George Claw is the head of M.A.D., a criminal organization whose main purpose is committing crime and wreaking pointless havoc. M.A.D. 1: You know, we could have looted some stuff before burning down that warehouse. There was one time when Claw teamed up with his Japanese counterpart, Waruda, to steal all the jewelery in the world. They also had their logo stamped on everything. Who Was He Constantly Losing To? Inspector Gadget. Gadget is constantly being outwitted by his own dog and his 10 or 11-year-old niece. Really, Dr. Look at that bastard.

Scar was the Tragic Hero of "The Lion King." I was completely BAKED while watching "The Lion King" for the first time in TWELVE years and it all just clicked with me. This is kind of long... so if you're too LIFTED i could understand if you skip this, but those who are curious, just bear with me. Well... the way I see it... within the context of the movie, the Jungle was a Monarchy right? So The Lions are all either members of the royal family, or otherwise aristocratic elitists.... which can symbolize the ruling class, aka rich white people. The Hyenas represent the less affluent, lower and working class, aka poor people and minorities. The Lions wanted to keep themselves segregated and retain their societal advantage. Many of you may think that under Scar’s rule, the Hyenas lay waste to the land. Some of you may think I miss the point of the movie... that Scar upset the balance of "The Circle of Life" when he integrated the Hyenas into the Pride. Viva la Scar!!!!

Why Disney Princesses Are the Worst Role Models EVER All_Is_Mal has a little problem with the Disney role-model model. Pitchforks up or thumbs up?–Sparkitors I really, really detest Disney princesses. Prince: Wow, check out that unbelievably stunning girl! Princess: Oh, look! Prince: I love you! Princess: Really? I don’t hate the princesses as people—they’re all really kind girls. Pretty Nice Hair Waist Smaller Than Head ARGH. No Growth: There is not a princess out there that learns, grows, changes, or progresses over the course of the story line. Superficial Standards: The only reason that any of the princesses get a happy ending is because they’re gorgeous. Misconceptions of Love and Happily Ever After: Princess stories repeatedly advertise love at first sight. The Eternally Passive Princess: All of these girls have skills, and I firmly believe that each one of them could have escaped their undesirable situations without being saved by a man. Disclaimer: The reinvented Rapunzel from Tangled is actually a good role model for little girls.

The Alot is Better Than You at Everything As a grammatically conscientious person who frequents internet forums and YouTube, I have found it necessary to develop a few coping mechanisms. When someone types out "u" instead of "you," instead of getting mad, I imagine them having only one finger on each hand and then their actions seem reasonable. If I only had one finger on each hand, I'd leave out unnecessary letters too! If I come across a person who seems to completely ignore the existence of apostrophes and capital letters and types things like "im an eagle and im typing with my talons, so dont make fun of me cuz this is hard," I like to imagine that they actually are an eagle typing with their talons. But there is one grammatical mistake that I particularly enjoy encountering. The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people's grammar. For example, when I read the sentence "I care about this alot," this is what I imagine: The Alot is incredibly versatile.
