OHE: Unnecessary Knowledge

2008-08-01T13:20:00.000-07:00

I've been a way from OHE for a while, but to make up for my lack of posts and not having the post I've been working on ready, here are some facts and figures that might interest you.

I am never "good" at school because I remember things like this.

Jews, on average, have a 0.2cm longer nose than the rest of the population.

31% of employees skip lunch entirely.

A kangaroo can only jump if its tail is touching the ground.

"Stewardesses" is the longest single word that can be typed with only the left hand on a QWERTY keyboard.

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

Most lipstick contains fish scales. (This is why I use certified vegan makeup...sick)

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades = David ; Clubs = Alexander the Great ; Hearts = Charlemagne ; Diamonds = Caesar

Approximately 100,000 people get married in Las Vegas each year.

Annually Americans eat 45 million turkeys at Thanksgiving. (That's for you, Steven)

About 200,000,000 M&Ms are sold each day in the United States.

1 out of 350,000 Americans get electrocuted in their life.

A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate. (That is why they are required to be fixed, obviously)

By age 20 we lose 20% of our sense of smell. By age 60 it is 60% (CRAP! I like being able to smell flies in China!)

The term LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. (It uses a laaaaser)

When the divorce rate goes up in the United States, toy makers report that the sale of toys also rise. (I don't love your mother anymore, Timmy, so have a Tonka Truck)

OHE: It's Almost The Weekend, Baby! Let's Boogie!

2008-07-16T20:07:00.001-07:00

Spladamn!

I thought instead of you waiting for the weekend to come, I could bring it to you!
This post is music video dense, so wait till you can use speakers (meaning: stop slacking at work!) in order to fully enjoy this.

Let's start off with some Wolfmother:

My friend Jeff sent me this song last night while trying to find some good songs to listen to on the way to BR. It's by Robert Randolph and The Family Band.

It's pretty awesome.
If any of you are getting drunk this weekend, you might go out for a drunk food run after.
Please, please don't eat this.
Apparently, it's a "normal" cheese pizza that happens to also have four cheeseburgers, french fries, and a lot of ham on top. Yeah. Oh, and don't assume this heart attack snack was made in the good ole' US of A! It was made in Australia! If you liked that, you might like this site: http://www.supersizedmeals.com/food/

And something off topic, as usual:
Anyone else see that stupid photoshopped picture of the Iranian missles? Well, some brilliant person made these:

I won't post any photos so that I won't give anything away.

See you Sunday...maybe sooner.

OHE: Enviormental Hazard

2008-07-15T10:35:00.001-07:00

On this installment of OHE, we will be looking at mostly environmentally related things. I've already done a rant on Hummers, so I'll keep that to a minimum.

I found this yesterday: How To Change the World

It's a blog about...changing the world. This particular link showcases great inventive things like the Eco-Night Club and the Q-Drum, pictured here:

Awesome.

I get daily tips from a website called Ideal Bite. It's a great site if you are looking for easy ways to help the environment.
Lindsay and I are recycling and composting at our apartment. I use only vegan cosmetics, biodegradable cleaning products, and I also don't leave my computer or the lights on when I am not using them, etc... Lindsay and I will also be growing our own herbs.

Tooth Paste For Dinner

The only way I can introduce this next link, while still remaining on topic, is to say something about environmental consciousness being the future and say that I am an uber nerd:

Steve Schofield's Land of the Free

That's all for today. As usual, send me crap.

OHE: Back in the Act

2008-07-14T11:19:00.000-07:00

It has been over a year, but I know I missed you more than you've missed me :)
I've taken up some new habits and broken some old ones, good and bad. I've made new friends and already gotten rid of half of them. You know, the usual. Oh, and I am vegan now. It's tasty. Tasty tasty. I'll post pictures of food I make here, too.
"Do not look vegans in the eye. If you get into an argument with a vegan, say "I'm wrong", and run away as fast as you can. Do not f--k with vegans because they will f--k you up...BECAUSE THEY'RE HUNGRY. " - The wise Margaret Cho
If you want to see any other photos of vegan goodies or any other things in my life as of late, then check out my Facebook. If you aren't friends with me, but know me, go ahead and feel free to add me. I will only bite a little.

And I'm single, but that's a long, sad story I'll keep to myself and a few choice people for now.

I do still hate the iPhone:
To commemorate the continuance of OHE, here's something from Improv Everywhere. This was brought to my attention by Ms. Lindsay.

Improve Everywhere: Human Mirror
If anyone was disappointed, like I was, to see Stone and Stone leave Last Comic Standing, you'll be pleased to see this photo:

And I know most of you know that my relationship with Scrabulous has turned addictive. I now play it at least once a day...ok all day...and I have even branched out to doing crossword puzzles before bed. Lindsay and I played a game that gave me some fun tile choices:

Speaking of Lindsay, she's my roommate now and she's awesome.
Be jealous!

Guess what?

OHE: Tasty Sandwiches 1/25

2007-03-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

It’s time for another installment of OHE. It sounds like a misspelled exclamation. OHE, I love getting this email everyday before 12:02!

Next time conversations stalls, we are breaking out the tasty sandwiches.

Last night my ferret spilled an entire soda can on a handwritten, page long letter that was due Wednesday. I just rewrote it. That was…fun?

Ok, today’s kind sucked. But I’m busy! SO hush!

OHE: Hummers and More Free Stuff (Image Heavy) 1/26

2007-03-17T12:40:00.000-07:00

Hi OHE!

How’s everyone doing? This OHE has come early today on account of mass and an absent French teacher. If anyone is having trouble viewing the messages, please let me know. I’ll figure something else out.

Next birthday present idea?

This morning I was almost rear ended by a Hummer. If any of you know me well enough (which all of you do), you know my complete disdain for Hummers and their owners. The Hummer was so close to me that I could see BEHIND THE GRILL into the car. That’s too close. The guy was on his cell phone and was given plenty of time to stop, but no, he drives a Hummer. He doesn’t have to stop for anything.

Have you ever though about how RIDICULOUS the name Hummer is? Think about it. When you search for “hummers” in Google image, you get a few strip joints and a large amount of innocent, delicate, humming birds. Hummers aren’t exactly quiet, cute, or graceful. So, why the similar name? Because they are stupid. The end.

Yeah, they are soooo safe.

I just took two free dessert things for the Melting Pot. Only catch is you have to spend $25 to get free dessert and I don’t even like restaurant dessert, but hey, it’s free, and they had thousands of them. They won’t miss one more.

Mmmm warm, melted orange plastic. Actually, it’s pretty good.

This is a Fiat concept car, called the Jolly Panda, or something like that.

No doors! You can totally and literally just pick up chicks in this baby. Wooo bro!

Check out the 1958 one.

Screaming out of fear or JOY!

I’d say joy.

Ok, buhbye now.

OHE: Foxy Lollop, who doesn't love broccoli? and an attack. 1/24

2007-03-17T12:06:00.000-07:00

So, I think I’m just going to send out something stupid every day that I’m not busy. Who doesn’t love stupid things?

This is Foxy Lollop, another blocked webcomic at school. Broccoli and cheese…mmmmm.

He misspells things on occasion, but it depends on the character. Some of them have accents. But I don’t know if broccoli and brocoli are dialectally different.

I just listend to A Lifetime by Better Than Ezra. I was stealing Caroline’s iTunes.

I have nothing to do, obviously. I guess I’ll go read Everything is Illuminated. It’s pretty good so far.

This is why I don’t take naps at school. I’m afraid a PANDA WILL EAT ME!

Oh geeze.

OHE: Why Did You Die? 2/16

Hey, so why did you die?
