Making yourself dumb

כ"ד בסיון ה'תשס"ט (June 16, 2009) America

Very much in line with my belief that everything in life looks cooler when graphed, which led me to Graph Jam, here are two of the coolest little websites I’ve seen in a long while: Books That Make You Dumb and, for people who don’t like to read, Music That Makes You Dumb. The idea [...]

What does this mean?

ג' בסיון ה'תשס"ט (May 26, 2009) Stupid

You might be a redneck if…

ט"ז בטבת ה'תשס"ט (January 12, 2009) America

For everyone worried that Bernard Madoff will give Jews a bad name – don’t worry, he’s not Jewish, he’s a redneck. How do I know? He owns more boats than cars.

On Honking

ב' בכסלו ה'תשס"ט (November 29, 2008) America

Like Dave Johns’ mother, I’d say I’m not much of a honker. That’s partly due to my personality and partly due to the way I learned to drive, which included lessons in defensive driving that emphasized preventing and avoiding collisions instead of just making them noisier. There are situations, however, when honking is very, very [...]

Oh, Psychics!

ב' בכסלו ה'תשס"ט (November 29, 2008) Customer Service

All former Kasambans and employees of TCFKAK (The Company Formerly Known As Kasamba) are going to love this article about how psychics’ business has improved during the recession, featuring an interview with the company’s CEO. It’s too bad they didn’t ask him why the stock is down so much – I happen to think it’s [...]

World's first PORTABLE bible!

ט"ז בטבת ה'תשס"ח (December 25, 2007) Books

After all that time, year after dreadful, agonizing year, with all my incessant complaining that the bible is just too god damn big, scientists have finally created a bible small enough for me to carry around under my finger nail. I mean, what took them so long, anyway?

Israelis tip well.

ל' בכסלו ה'תשס"ז (December 21, 2006) America

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That joke is from the Borat movie. Pretty funny, eh? Ok. Since Ynet is making some dubious claims about Israeli restaurant habits, I’m going to set the record straight. Claim: “A majority of Israelis eat out at least once a month, and most of them leave a generous tip to their waiter, a survey [...]

college (part deux)

ז' במרחשון ה'תשס"ז (October 29, 2006) Aliyah

It’s official. For the first time in more years than I’d like to believe, I am a college student. This time around, I’m doing it at the Raphael Recanati International School, Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya. The degree: a three-year BA program in Middle East Security Studies, Counter-Terrorism and International Relations offered by the Lauder School of [...]

Something short

כ' באלול ה'תשס"ו (September 13, 2006) America

You’ll either get this and laugh, or you won’t get it at all. Here’s a random Gallatin concentration that I heard about today: “legal and cultural studies of oppressed and marginalized peoples.” Yes, someone actually has a BA in that.
