If I was manufacturing equipment these days I think I would make one warning sticker for everything that simply said:

"!Don't be a ******* idiot. !​"

So I was just watching the news and they did a story on how I-380 is under construction at the Iowa River and now due to the condition of the bridge highway 965 is now limited to one lane causing back ups. For those unfamiliar both are routes between CR and IC that intersect the river at pretty much the exact same spot.

Anywho they interviewed a guy who said "It is a big inconveience but about the only other options is to go clear to Des Moines (The s's were pronounced) to get around it."

Dude either stop lying or buy a map or GPS.

Taking highway 1 or highway 6 to IC might actually be worse options than just heading down to the Moines.

KC would like the younguns to recite pi to a couple hundred places to prove their love to Mommy while they are still in diapers.

My daughter's math teacher has this shirt.

The Pi symbol is made up of over 4,000 digits from Pi. He is very proud of the shirt.

Shopping around for a dining table and chairs. Found a table I really like, but now debating on getting fabric/metal/plastic chairs.

My wife found ours on one of the community garage sale sites from somebody that refinishes old furniture. They turned out to be really cool.

Also, when we picked them up, the lady and her husband had been drinking wine and, the husband at least, had probably had just the right amount (or one too many if you have a thin skin). I was having trouble figuring out how to arrange them in the back of the Traverse and he referred to me as "doctor" while I was doing it.

I'm among them. I decided it wasn't nerdy enough and moved into accounting.
