New Condoms

Brilliant new tumblr that just started up: New Condoms.  It's a site devoted to photoshopping the best slogans and logos onto condom wrappers.

Here are my favorites to get you started:

Floating

Sorry I've been MIA!  School started last week, and I've been much, much busier!  Posts will be more infrequent from now on, so I hope you'll be patient with me :)

This is a really cool video, but I have no idea how it works.  Feel free to fast forward through the slow parts.

Best. Roommate. Ever.

First of all, I'm sorry it's been a while since my last post!  I spent Thursday night through today in Madtown and Chitown on a Visa-acquring excursion with some friends.  More on that later.  For now, here's a wondrous little post from Craigslist that will be good for a laugh :)

Love Songs

I just watched the french film "Les chansons d'amour."  It's a french musical drama about a love triangle that would easily convince anyone watching it that french people have no sexual orientation; they love errrrrbody!

It was dark, funny, and at times creepy.  I, of course, thought the main character was beautiful (because he's french) and talented (because he's french).  Although I found the whole premise odd, I found myself becoming quite fond of it by the end.  I like this quote from the trailer:

"Christophe Honoré's films aren't just films you like--you develop weird little crushes on them."


So true.  The movie is on Netflix Instant Play, if you're interested!

Common Misconceptions

 George Washington did not have wooden teeth. They were actually made of gold, hippopotamus ivory, lead, and animal teeth, including horse and donkey teeth.

These were in his mouth.  They're on display at Mount Vernon.

The signing of the United States Declaration of Independence occurred on August 2, 1776, not July 4.

This happened in August.

Napoleon Bonaparte was not particularly short in comparison to other French men and did not have a Napoleon complex.

Sarko: the munchky man.

Meteorites are not hot, but cold when they hit the earth.

Pssssshhhhhhhhhhhh boom.

Bulls are not enraged by the color red, which is used in capes by professional matadors. The movement of the fabric is what irritates the bull and causes them to charge.

Pink and orange work, too.

Shaving doesn’t cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Hair which has never been cut has a tapered end and after cutting the hair the taper is lost making the new hair sharp.

This will not prevent balding.

Eating less than an hour before swimming doesn’t increase the risk of experiencing muscle cramps or drowning.

She'll be fine.
