That is hillarious.  I talked to my students about this during their review session Monday night.  I was surprised how many thought the holiday was a farce as well.  then again, this was on the holiday itself, so I am sure those students that were ardent about celebrating were getting drunk at that time instead of attending the review session.

 

Scott,

Nice finds, I briefly looked, hoping to find a post that matched well with what I was saying, but was unsucessful.

 

Jake and Scott - I have heard rumors of Mario Kart/Galaxy/Smash/Brain Age sometime after church this week.  Additionally, I have also hear rumors of a certain American cultural phenomenon returning to the airwaves this next week.  Have you heard the same rumblings?
