Man released 56 exotic animals in Ohio before killing himself.  49 had to be killed by authorities to protect citizens.

What a waste of life.

In March of this year, during the peak of the tsunami crisis, a 4-month-old baby girl was found amongst some of the worst of the rubble, left alone swaddled in her blanket for 3 days.  She was miraculously fine and was soon reunited with her father.  Sorry for the old news, but it’s Friday night and I figured I should preemptively give examples of humanity being kind of neat.

So I’m having lunch with my fellow nursing students during clinical when it happened.  Someone noticed my Batman lunchbox.  I tense up, expecting some well-intentioned teasing.  What my companion said instead surprised me:

“Ohhhh, hey, do you like Green Batman?  My son loves Green Batman.”

I puzzled over this for minutes.  What possible street drug could she have taken to reach this faulty conclusion, that there was a vast rainbow of Batmen who may or may not amuse her son?

In desperation, I stuttered,” You mean, Green Lantern, or Green Arrow, or Green Hornet, or—”

“Arrow!  Yeah, the arrow one.  Sorry, I don’t know, I just call them all Batman.”

It’s official:  Robots get more exercise than me.  These three lil’ guys are going to be in a triathlon— if their batteries don’t run out. More on these cuties here.

And Don’t Get Me Started On Valve

I missed my professor’s entire powerpoint lecture on mitral valve stenosis because I was too busy wondering where the orange portal was.

The Quest for Kongming

If history had a Facebook page, I would be a fan of it.  One of my favorite figures from the past is Zhuge ‘Kongming’ Liang, the sharply clever tactician from the Shu kingdom.  One of his trademarks was a fan of crane feathers, which he carried around everywhere.  I decided to go out and give a fan to an influential political leader.

President of the People’s Republic of China Hu Jintao seemed a likely first choice, but he seemed busy adjusting his headset.

President of the United States of America Barack Obama took a shine to it. Sadly Obama seems to have lost all his fans, according to the latest approval poll.

Ultimately the fan was given to the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev.  Then it was promptly taken by Prime Minister of Russia Vladmir Putin.  Sorry Medvedev!
