Need a Job? Invent It

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/31/opini … ?_r=2&

Quote:

WHEN Tony Wagner, the Harvard education specialist, describes his job today, he says he’s “a translator between two hostile tribes” — the education world and the business world, the people who teach our kids and the people who give them jobs. Wagner’s argument in his book “Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World” is that our K-12 and college tracks are not consistently “adding the value and teaching the skills that matter most in the marketplace.”

.....

Who is doing it right?

“Finland is one of the most innovative economies in the world,” he said, “and it is the only country where students leave high school ‘innovation-ready.’ They learn concepts and creativity more than facts, and have a choice of many electives — all with a shorter school day, little homework, and almost no testing.

without actually listening to the hour long podcast, it does seem like the majority of "native Americans" are just white people looking to seem special by claiming to be a minority. The most recent being that Senator from Mass. who claimed to be 1/32 Cherokee or some such ridiculous percentage to forward her career within academia and politics even though there was not a single shred of proof.

Two Florida DJs have been suspended and may face criminal charges over an April Fools Day prank where they warned listeners that "dihydrogen monoxide" was coming out of taps in their area.
As I'm sure you all know, dihydrogen monoxide is water.

Coal union bosses are happy Thatcher's gone. Of course she should've held the coal mining industry under the arms with tax money, that would've been the sensible thing to do.. :/

They might like a bigger penis but they love a bigger wallet.

I doubt that the study is accurate.....Why?
Well because :

Quote:

They created 49 unique, computer-generated, nude, life-sized male figures. Each figure varied in three traits: height, shoulder-hip ratio and flaccid penis size.The researchers then displayed all the figures to 105 Australian women with an average age of 26.

...we found from PengoIsMe thread (http://www.torrentbytes.net/forum_viewt … amp;page=1) that in Australia even men are obsess by penises...it`s an continental obsession.It`s a strange world down-under. :-P

Insurers can’t charge more for smokers in health exchanges

The insanity never stops; not only are the taxpayers buying them their cigs and subsidizing their new obamacare insurance, but we also get to pay for the added costs of their smoking which of course will get passed on to our premiums.

Eel lovin

Quote:

"A Chinese man who sexually aggressed upon an eel had an unpleasant experience when the creature’s survival instincts kicked in, landing the unnamed man in the hospital after the eel injured hum during the act.

The Chinese man’s unnatural eel lovin’ came to light via a blog post (in Chinese) written by an anonymous doctor in China. In it, she explains that the man, 39, was drunk and apparently in the mood when he got the clever idea of substituting an eel for any other number of things with which to be penetrated.

And as you can imagine, this inspiration backfired badly. Translations of the doctor’s blog indicate that the incident, which occurred in the Shunde, Guangdong province, came to light when the “unmarried man rushed to the nearest accident and emergency unit for medical assistance.”

Reportedly, the Chinese man’s eel erotic leanings took a horror movie turn when he complained to staff:

“Please, please help me. The eel is moving through my body.”
