Two atoms were walking down the street. One tripped and fell. The other one asked, "Are you alright?"
The first atom answered, "I think I just lost an electron."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive!"

Dude!
This is my avatar for my XBox Live account. I think that he looks pretty cool. He seems to say, "Wazzup dude?" I want to look just like him someday.

Hymn of the Week
Today I opened the Hymn Book to a random page and I saw the hymn, "Did You Think to Pray?" I thought that there was probably something that I was supposed to learn from it because the Sunday School lesson that we just had was about prayer. As the hymn was going through my head, these lines caught my attention.
Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
These lines seem to contradict each other. How can someone rest if it's always day? When I'm trying to sleep, the last thing I want is for the night to suddenly change to day. Every morning when my alarm clock goes off, I spend a few seconds asking the universe, "Why are you so mean to me?" and then I grunt and get out of bed. If anything, the nights need to be longer because I feel quite weary sometimes. I need my rest!

Logic Check: Vegetarians
I have never understood why someone would want to be a vegetarian. So I created a list of some reasons that I've heard.
1. Animals are alive.
2. Animals have feelings.
3. Animals are unhealthy.
4. Plants are made for people to eat.
5. Animals have faces.
These are all valid reasons, but they all apply to plants too. If a person follows these rules, then he can't eat anything. Let's examine each of the reasons.
1. Plants are alive too.
2. Just because animals move more than plants doesn't mean that they have more feelings. According to this logic, people in comas don't have feelings because they don't move. Is it okay to eat them? By being a vegetarian a person is insulting these people! I'm appalled.
3. Everything is unhealthy in some way. Some meat has a lot of fat, but you have to get the protein from somewhere, and milk and eggs have much more fat than lean turkey meat.
4. Most animals wouldn't be born if we didn't eat them. What else do you think we would use
cows and pigs for? Purfume?
5. Plants have faces too!
If you're not going to eat animals, then for the same reasons you can't eat plants. So if you're contemplating a major dietary alteration, please stop and think about it logically.
I'm not trying to be rude and I hope that I don't offend anyone. I actually respect vegetarians for the devotion that they give to their ideals. It just seems a little misplaced to me.
So remember; in addition to animals and people in comas, plants have feelings too.

Color of the Week: Tangerine
Things that are this color:Tangerines
Crayons
Why make a crayon for a color if only one object in the world is that color? This makes no sense. If anyone can think of anything else that is tangerine, please leave a comment about it.

Martian Invasion Postponed
For some reason, Ned the Martian isn't acting as nefarious as I had expected. I guess that he's waiting until next year to call his army to invade the Earth. For now, he must have absorbed into the earth to act has a homing beacon to his people. So get ready: the martians are coming!
