Top 10 Random Things of the Week & It's Only Tuesday

1. Today I gave a skunk his wings. Forget Clarence and his ringing bell, all you need is a Ford, as it turns out.
2. Sam announced on the trip to school this morning that he wished the school would "start putting comic strips inside the bathroom stalls for all the kids to read" while "doing business."
3. I had a very intense and heated discussion with a class of 12 year olds today on the correct spelling of terd/turd. Don't judge me. They'll grow up and thank me one day...perhaps when they're blogging about the class they're teaching.
4. A friend and I discovered a new form of gas this week. It's called "scare the cat off of the bed" gas which is one step higher than "blow the sheets off of the bed" gas. I have great girlfriends.
5. My new favorite saying to confuse people, "He go, eh?" What I like to do especially is prank call my school office and talk to our secretary in my best Pakistani accent, and ask her, "He go, eh?" She loves it when I prank call her.
6. I have learned twice this week EXACTLY what the sole of my shoe feels like.
7. It's no secret. I am enamored of little, zippers. Knowing this, will one of you please buy me a P-Nut? And if not a p-nut, how about a PMD (no, it's not THAT time of the month.) You MUST watch the video. (All joking aside. Why isn't anyone applying this technology for people in wheelchairs?)
8. Dear December 18th, I wish you'd hurry up.
9. Scratch that, I'd settle for Friday.
10. The Science Museum of London, in England, asked visitors to vote on which modern invention or discovery has made the greatest impact. The results were:
1. X-ray machine 9,581 votes
2. Penicillin 6,825 votes
3. Structure of DNA (the chemical that carries the code for every living thing) 6,725 votes
4. Apollo 10 capsule 4,649 votes
5. V2 rocket engine 3,985 votes
What about meat in a can? Vienna Sausages? Spam? C'mon.
