I would toss them all on the street and make a roadblock. Then I'd stand there and photograph people as they grab as many pennies as they can carry. That would be kinda interesting, because in all reality, you can't really carry that many pennies. Once you get up to about $500 worth of pennies, it weighs 100 pounds. So if everyone takes an average of 100 pounds, then that would be 20,000 people.

There would have to be a rule that you cannot use any wheeled-device to carry them away. It would be by your own strength to carry the pennies. How much would people be willing to try to carry away? There's a ten million dollars on the street, and if you can only carry away a hundred dollars, that's only a tiny fraction of the total amount. Kokogiak did The MegaPenny Project where you can visualize different quantities of pennies, including one billion. It's five solid school buses.

What is 37IW5? Look at it upside-down

Anything going bad today, just blame it on Mars.

Good thing they didn't name Advil as "Edvil" cuz the letters rearranged would spell out "devil". With "Advil" instead you get the word "valid". Wow, what a difference.

Mars has a cute little white hat.

I'm looking for the cd by Evelyn called "Partystarter". There's a few tracks that are good like, "Funny Bunny Boy" and "Moviestar." Can't seem to find it anywhere.

It was funny to watch people on the Chicago elevated mass transit train watch a bouncy ball roll across the floor. It simply captivated everyone's attention. Observing the ball roll up and down the floor of the train as it stopped and accelerated.

Maybe these bouncy balls should have a message written on them. What would it be?

Gatorade's new Propel "Vitamin Enhanced Water Beverage" is completely not like what i expecting. I was thinking it was gonna be a really watered down flavor, but it wasn't. It was quite tasty. The peach flavor is quite good.

Gatorade calling it a "water beverage" is odd for several reasons:
1) Flavored water brings to mind something that has barely any taste
2) "Water Beverage" is rather redundant.
Perhaps they are trying to cash in on the market for bottled water.

Spike TV logo is totally lame. It's the freakin network for men, and they have this totally pansy-a55 logo.

Here's what some others have to say:

"The Spike TV logo captures the sense of personality that will surround the first network for men," said Albie Hecht, president of Spike TV.

One critic asked Hecht to defend the "flowing, kind of wussy script" last month at the TV Critics Association press tour.
"I'm glad you asked that question, because it kind of tells me your preconception of what a guy is on some level," Hecht said. [What? that makes no sense]

"Instead this is looking like some sort of suave, upper middle class business executive's information channel. The sort of channel that carries a briefcase and has prostate concerns."

The quest with Headliners (my work's cafeteria in the Tribune Tower) and their elusive breakfast burrito:

8/18: MONDAY
the first email to Headliners:
I haven't seen the breakfast burritos in awhile. Do they make regular appearances? All I ever seem to see are those egg croissant things. The breakfast burrito is far superior. If you put the breakfast burrito and the egg croissant in steel cage death match, the breakfast burrito would come out reigning supreme. When will we be able to see the breakfast burrito make its next appearance. The fans are clamoring for it to come back.

8/19: TUESDAY
*BREAKFAST BURRITO APPEARS*

8/20: WEDNESDAY
*NO BREAKFAST BURRITO*
the second email to Headliners:
On Monday I requested the appearance of the breakfast burrito, and what happens on Tuesday?... The breakfast burrito makes its grand comeback gracing the foodbar of Tribune Tower's Headliners! I am so honored and happy to have given a request and seen it fulfilled. However, today I saw the french toast in its place. The question on everyone's minds is: when will the breakfast burrito be making its next appearance? The breakfast burrito club will surely be attending.

Can you eat six crackers in sixty seconds?

The way to do it is to not stop when you reach one minute. Finish eating all six crackers and check your time. Then next attempt, try to get shave off five seconds. Continue to train, and you WILL beat the one minute. I am currently under saltine cracker training.

Thanks to Mark Bazer for bringing over six crackers and challenging me.

My new finishing move for croquet is called "The Mallet Mullet". Before hitting the final winning stroke to seal the game, I'll put on the mullet wig. There's nothing more embarrassing than getting beat by a guy with a mullet.

try wearing your watch on your other wrist. It's quite an odd experience.
