True Story: My friend/co-worker Swabby & I have been talking about starting a reading challenge where we have to cover all the Hugo Award winning novels, starting with the first year and working our way up. Oddly in this day and age, one of our biggest hurdles was trying to find a complete list of the winners. Seems even the Hugo Awards website didn’t have a complete list. Then we randomly mentioned it to our friend Jenn, and within 3 minutes she came back with a full list. Her tactic: use wikipedia. Thanks Jimmy Wales.

I imagine that if it was me, I’d get a number line tattoo on my forearm, sorta like when you’re in Algebra class.

Or maybe a barcode that I could scan and it would recommend what I need to eat to correct my sugar levels.
