Jon Stewart: Crazy Town Hall People
Best quote:
I mean, all we're doing is enraging people with misleading information and then having them show up, at meetings, with the intent of shouting down the speakers and physically intimidating them. If that's what you call a mob, well, then I guess... Jesus... America... RUN!
230 Miles Per Gallon
Looks like the Chevrolet Volt is going to be officially rated at 230 MPG!
The Chevrolet Volt, on other hand, runs on electricity that comes from two sources -- a battery as well as a gasoline engine. How much is generated by burning gasoline depends on how far the car is driven.
...
So let's say the car is driven 50 miles in a day. For the first 40 miles, no gas is used and during the last 10 miles, 0.2 gallons are used. That's the equivalent of 250 miles per gallon. But, if the driver continues on to 80 miles, total fuel economy would drop to about 100 mpg. And if the driver goes 300 miles, the fuel economy would be a just 62.5 mpg.
Even the "worst" MPG rating is impressive.
Forehead Bump
Before our trip to Maine last week Libby got a pretty bad bump on her head. She ran full speed (which seems faster each day) into a metal cart at Lowes:
Poor thing - the bump swelled to the size of a large gerkin in seconds. Libby took it well, though, and stopped crying within a few minutes. Shannon and I didn't fare as well - we rushed home and called the nurses line to make sure we were caring for her correctly.
Pictures from Providence/Maine/etc will be posted Tuesday night.
Toilet Paper Roll Scuptures
Obviously I'm not spending my time on the pot as creatively as others. Here are some incredible sculptures created by bending and twisting empty toilet paper rolls:
- yellow squint
- blue bellyache
- blue face
- green grimace
