Random Thoughts 4/10/10

  • A 500-sheet ream of 20-pound paper weighs how much? Five pounds. Naturally.
  • I go to Bing just to see the pretty pictures.
  • I subscribed to the sermon podcasts of Ozark Christian College. Mmmm… that's good preaching. Search for Ozark in iTunes or go here.
  • Xavier Henry's unremarkable freshmen year was the same or a little less, statistically, than Brandon Rush's first year at KU. Good luck in the NBA, kid. It's just a shame I can't remember a single clutch game-winning performance while you were here. Oh, well.
  • The first CV-22 Osprey crashed this week in Afghanistan killing four people.
  • I don't know if anyone is a fan of graphic novels (i.e. long, serious comic books) or if anyone is a history buff, like me, but Jacques Tardi's World War 1 graphic novel It Was War in the Trenches has a 10 page free preview available dripping in mud, blood, and jaded cynicism.
  • The Polish President, First Lady, several generals, senators, and various other significant leaders and dignitaries from Poland all died in a plane crash this morning. How are that many important people all on the same plane?
