Something to Kick Off the New Year and Decade

by Joey deVilla on January 1, 2010

Here’s a graphic I found the other day while doing a little computer “housekeeping”. I thought it would be perfect for the first post of the new year and decade:

When I was 5 years old, my mom told me that happiness was they key to life. When I went to school, the asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life.

Do the assignments, but don’t forget to do life!

Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:

In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
