Okay, I've got something interesting for you to read

Finally. Seems like nothing interesting has been going on or else, I'm just preoccupied and don't feel like updating this in a creative way. Well, I will force myself since I have taken up the task of keeping you informed and entertained.

According to an article I read regarding companies thriving during this economy, the number 4 spot goes to...Condom Makers. Yep, safe sex is a profitable business! Here is what the article said, "Whether for at-home entertainment or to try to stave off the cost of a baby in trying times, condom sales rose 6 percent in January from the year before. 'If people don't have the money to go out to a fancy dinner or are looking to cut back, Trojan gives them some real affordable ways to stay in and make some great memories together,' Jim Daniels, Trojan's vice president of marketing, told USA Today." So to all of you having safe condom protected sex, thank you for keeping our economy stimulated.

I am reading the BEST book EVER!!!! It's called Stiff by Mary Roach. (That the previous paragraph seems connected to my book title is purely coincidental and was by no means a planned segwey. I actually just lucked into that play on words.) It's about the "curious lives of human cadavers." It's insightful and laugh out loud funny and yet in no way is it disrespectful. I'll give you a couple great quotes from the first chapter. "Cadavers are our superheroes." and my favorite..."Death. It doesn't have to be boring." I will be sending this book to my little brainiack. Her anatomy and physiology class gets to go on a field trip...to see cadavers! Totally cool!!! A little ew! ...but the cool definitely outweighs the ew! It's also a great opportunity since, as I've learned from my book, not many colleges still use a full cadaver.

THERE WAS A SUPERHERO IN PANERA! Devan and I went for lunch and as we are sitting there, this guy comes in. The guy is tall, sorta dorky, glasses, nerdish short hair that could be cool but isn't, wearing a suit, and seems like he would be athletic were he not a nerdy business guy. Like Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne rolled into one. He was the stereotypical superhero cliche. Just enough of the geek look to throw you off the scent that he is a tights wearing, butt kickin', logo emblazoned Superhero. Here he comes to save the day....

Speaking of superheroes, Devan and I have decided that every time we see a fist bump we are going to proclaim "Wonder Twin Powers Activate!" I just ruined Deal or No Deal for you didn't I? You will never be able to watch Howie Mandel do his germophobic alternative to the handshake without thinking that he is secretly saying "...form of an ice dreidel!"
