Thought I'd create a thread for anyone who's got a discussion or an interesting article to share. If you surf news and such like I do, I'm sure something interesting will pop up that you'd like to throw out for thought.
Come by if you think you've got something of interest.

Found a couple of things that come off as rather scary. I'd say it might cheer up many Kerry supporters, but it's really a very dismal reflection of things. Courtesy DailyKos.com, a comparison of 2004's election results and a pre-civil war record of states which practiced slavery. It's not a suggestion that all right-wingers are racists, but the ethnocentrism of their culture certainly would have carried some into today.   Oh, and here's a more blatant comparison chart, one that I'm very much in agreement with. It came from Jesus' General, at patriotboy.blogspot.com.

I find that map quite funny, because the two states that I identify myself with, Ohio and Maryland, are flipflopped. Heh. And the IQ list, that's just hilarious. It's one of those things that could be made up rather easily, though.

There should be some form of official statistic somewhere concerning the IQ chart. Considering what everyone knows about the demographic of most of those states, I find it very believable.
*goes to look for a better source than a satirical political blog*

Oh my. Top five countries ranked by average IQ all appear to be Asian. ^^;
The table didn't even originate from a verified source, by the way. Looking at the average IQ by SAT scores, it's somewhat exaggerated, and where the SATs are concerned many states are on very much the same level.
Not that that says anything about the majority of state populations above voting age. The SAT is optional, too.

Fun things to do in an elevator. Thanks to my school newspaper... and my added boredom... XD
1. Make race car noises when anyone gets on or off.
2. Blow your nose and offer to show the contents of your Kleenex to other passengers.
3. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, shut up!"
4. On a long ride, sway side to side at the natural frequency of the elevator.
5. Shave as if it's your normal ritual you do.
6. Crack open your briefcase or purse and while peering inside ask, "Got enough air in there?"
7. Offer nametags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside-down.
8. Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off. Don't respond to anyone.
9. When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open. Act embarrssed when they open by themselves.
10. Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
11. Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I've got new socks on!"
12. When at least eight people have boarded, moan from the back, "Oh, not now; motion sickness!"
13. Give religious tracts to each passenger.
14. Meow occasionally.
15. Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose.
16. On the highest floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the penny you dropped down the shaft go "plink" at the bottom.
17. Walk on with a cooler that says "human head" on the side.
18. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You're one of them!" and move to the far corner of the elevator.
19. Press close door each time a passenger is about to get off. Apologize when the passenger looks at you but repeatedly do it again.
20. Ask each passenger getting on if they can push the button for you.
21. Ask what floor they want in a two story building.
22. Drop a pen on the ground. When someone goes to pick it up for you, yell, "That's mine! Don't touch it!"
23. Move a desk and chair in the elevator and do your work there.
24. Ask everyone that gets on the elevator if they have a lemon you can borrow.
25. Break into song.
26. Pretend that one of the passengers is a famous actor or actress. Continue to ask for their autograph even when they try to explain that they aren't.
27. Form a knitting circle.
28. Pretend to fall asleep.
29. Have an argument with yourself.
30. When riding the elevator down, throw your hands in the air as if riding a roller coaster, exclaming, "Weeeee!!!"
