A study completed by IU and Connecticut researchers found that adopted children may fair better than unadopted children.
Well, DUH.
Annie was adopted. Annie was rich. Therefore, we can infer that all adopted children are rich.
Another good example:
Jimmy from Blades of Glory. Jimmy was adopted and was consequently rich, talented, and famous.
Further proving this theory from the same movie is Chad Michael Michaels, who was not adopted and was not brought up the right way. He was, however, quite talented. And sexy.
I think that these scientists can infer from the movies that adopted children are better. I don't think we really need to do studies on the things that we can learn from the cinema. Instead, scientists, I think we should turn our attention to cloning sheep or something crazy like that.

sleep don't weep
I don't usually do sports, but according to the New York Times, the Detroit Red Wings beat the Anaheim Ducks 1-0 and moved into a three way tie for the spot of first place in the overall standings.
It's a sad, sad day. Those poor kids.
Am I wrong, or in their second movie did they not win like the Olympics against Iceland or something? HOW CAN THEY LOSE???
A little part of me died today... the day those quirky little hockey players lost to the Red Wings.
EMILIO!!!! EMMMILLLLIO!!!!
You can put that thumb down now, champ.
Damn Ducks should have gone with the flying Vee.

long slow goodbye
I don't usually do jokes, but my dad sent me this one and I thought it deserved a spot on the blog. =)
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't
realize that he must first deal with the problem on "THIS" side
of the road before it goes after the problem on the "OTHER SIDE"
of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid
he's acting by not taking on his "CURRENT" problems before
adding "NEW" problems.

OPRAH: Well I understand that the chicken is having problems,
which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of
having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which
is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he
can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest
of the chickens.

GEORGE W BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people

my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you
will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort
out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with
seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That chicken
should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as
that.

BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we

constant static
An IU grad student is under investigation for stealing 3 computers from IUTS.
Don't worry though, he has a good reason. To pay off his crack/cocaine debt.
Can you believe that authorities are trying to arrest this guy? I mean, if he owed money for gambling, medical bills, or taxes, then yes, maybe he is punishable by law for stealing. But he had a valid reason for stealing. Actually, I think in this case, we should probably just call it borrowing (since he had such a good reason). Book money? Tuition money? Nope. He just needed some cash to pay for his crack debts.
I think we should all learn a lesson from this young man. Stealing doesn't pay (well, technically it does if you don't get caught...), but crack does.

grand theft autumn
Here is my newest article.
So, there was a package of marijuana sent to assembly hall today. Accident? Coincidence?
I think not. Some university official is going to be pretty upset once he finds out that somebody got a hold of his "package" before he or she did.
Who is J. Smith? Sounds like a pretty common name..there must be one on this campus somewhere. And when we find him/her (after sorting through the 30+ Indiana Bloomington affiliated J. Smiths), then they will pay.
Unless of course it was just a silly joke. But I don't know about that one.
