Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

Postpourri

I always laugh at Scott (and his two engineer friends) for speaking in percentages (i.e., "There's a 75% chance that I'll be finished working in time to go to a 7:00 movie" and that type of thing.)

So he and I went to lunch today after I was finished with class (I've been neglecting him, and I'm trying to quit that) and he told me a good percentage story. He took another postdoc in his lab to the DMV, and when the guy finished and came back outside, he said that his clerk resembled me. "Face, hair, figure - nearly 80%, Scott!" Hee. So, there's an 80% KimClone working at the DMV, y'all. I wonder if she knows more neuroscience than I do? Maybe I can send her in to take my tests. I'm KIDDING! Stop looking at me, Academic Standards Committee.

Oh, and I discovered that when a car is traveling in front of or behind me while I'm listening to my iPod via my Griffin iTrip, said car can pick up my music if they tune their radio to the frequency I'm using. So if you happen to know me personally and you're near me in traffic, tune to 89.5 FM and see what I'm listening to. :-) And don't make fun of me if it's the Backstreet Boys, either.
