First...
The BBC has an article up right now about the Nervous Japanese. Okay, here is the gist: Someone has been leaving envelopes with a 10,000 yen note on it all over the place in Japan. Some 400 have been found so far. The Japanese people have been promptly taking the envelopes to the local police. Not weird, right? I mean, this is not how the story would go in Detroit, or anywhere in America, but I would not call it weird yet. The thing that is driving me nuts about this article is: "What is notable about all these events, whether they are connected or not, is the unease they have caused among those lucky enough to find the cash."
Unease? Unease? WhaFuck? What is with all of the unease? I just dont get it. Okay, so you find an envelope with 80$ in it (roughly 10,000 yen) and hand it over to the police. Are you freaked out by it? Is this not just a really interesting thing to have happened? Should you be locking yourself in your shit-hole apartment and refuse to talk to a reporter about anything unless its through an intercom?
Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ.
Second...
A woman in Arkansas gave birth to her 17th child today. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are apparently on the Discovery channel from time to time. I have no idea why this is a good thing. Why is this kind of shit even ALLOWED? What good can come from having 17 fucking kids? Can I just mention that they are all home schooled? Yep. Each and every one of those little bastards is taught by professor Jim Bob. Got an idea what the age range is? From 19 years to 2, not including the newborn.
There has to be some sort of abuse going on here. There is no way that 2 people can effectively care for a small army of children without neglecting at least some of them. And, personally, how are these people able to afford this? The story does not go into the economy of these fuckers, but I would seriously doubt that anyone with enough time to HOME SCHOOL 17 CHILDREN does not have much of a job. In fact, I am completely leaning toward some sort of assistance being given to them by the state. Goddamn probable freeloaders, livin' off the workin' man's dollar...FUCK THEM.
I cannot wait for government imposed regulations on the number of children a couple can have. Wow. I cannot believe that I am saying that, but I think it is one of the greatest things that China ever did.
Remember the Duggar family. DO NOT DATE ANYONE IN IT. DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY. THEY ARE FERTILE AS HELL.
And Third...
Danica McKellar, (you remember Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years?) has written a MATH book. Definitely not what I would expect from anyone that spent time in Hollywood. Definitely impressed. The book, Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math and not Break a Nail, will be hitting shelves next week.
McKellar graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mathematics and is the co-author of a freaking proof. Look at it. I dare you. I triple-dog dare you to try and make sense of ANY of what this stuff means. This girl is smart. S-M-A-R-T, smart.
So yeah, congrats go out to her. That is quite an accomplishment. Oh yeah, she got Crazy Hot over time:
And that one was safe for work.
