"“First it is important to establish the facts. Here are the facts: I am not a Muslim and I never have been. I never attended a madrasa. I did not take my oath of office on a Koran. I am a committed Christian. I lived in Indonesia for four years as a child, where I attended secular schools. I took my oath of office on our family Bible.”

Hopefully this ends those foolish rumors.

Buffalo NY City Hall
This is just an AWESOME building, it has an awesome art deco style and it is just huge! Obviously this is the largest city hall in America and it looks like something that should be in Bioshock or something.
Just an overall awesome building. I can picture Batman living there.

We've Been Had! The truth about Velociraptors!
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
When I say "Velociraptor" what comes to mind? If you're anything like me the devilishly smart huge door-opening, t-rex fighting, huge lizards from Jurassic Park come to mind. You know what I'm talking about. these guys:
Well it turns out that's false! Now I always knew that maybe they didn't get it right and missed by a little bit, but it turns out they got it all wrong! Below I will show you what a real Velociraptor looks like:
As you can see Velociraptors had feathers! and wings, pretty awesome! They got the big claws right and everything, but yeah apparently velociraptors had feathers, as of 2007 paleontologists Alan Turner, Peter Makovicky, Mark Norell and colleagues reported the discovery of quill knobs on a well-preserved Velociraptor mongoliensis forearm from Mongolia, confirming the presence of feathers in this species. Now brace yourself cus here comes a big shock.....Velociraptors were tiny! small! smaller than a human by a lot! So not really scary. So there you go, the truth about velociraptors, go ahead and change that mental image. Not so scary at all anymore huh?
This post isn't all dissapointment though, Utahraptors are still awesome and scary, behold.
that's a pretty awesome looking bird/lizard right? Check out his size.That's what I'm talking about! I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Utahraptor is the best dinosaur ever!

Stanford Here I Come!
In a pretty awesome move by the president of Stanford he's announced that tuition will no longer be charged to student's whose family earns less than $100,000 a year, also student's who's family makes less than $60,000 a year will get free room and board. This is possible because it's endowment has grown 22 percent to 17.2 billion!...more info here....In short I will be applying to Stanford, haha.

Architecture Friday
Friday, February 15, 2008
Hey everyone, every friday I'm gonna post some cool buildings that I've found around the internet and what not. For today I give you....
Frank Gehry's Dancing House....
This is an office building in Prague, Czech Republic which is also sometimes called the "drunk house" because of its crazy geometry which Frank Gehry is famous for. Each of the two towers has a name, Fred and Ginger.
Overall I just think this is a really cool and trippy building, I'd love to visit it in person some day....andddd Here's a 360 panoramic view from the top

Best Simpson's Quote Ever.
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Clerk: Yep, `General Sherman'. They say he's five hundred pounds ofbottom-dwelling fury, don't you know. No one knows how old he is, but if you ask me (and most people do), he's hundred years if he's a day.
Customer: And uh no one's ever caught him?
Clerk: Well, one fella came close. Went by the name of Homer. Seven feet tall he was, with arms like tree trunks. His eyes were like steel, cold, hard. Had a shock of hair, red like the fires of Hell.
Haha....so awesome.
