Featherless Bipeds

A mathematician's wife gave birth. A friend asked the new father, "Is it a boy or girl." The mathematician replied, "Yes."

Now, there are many different types of people in the world and varying responses to this joke: 

1) People who didn't get it. They are slightly less uneducated than the rest of the civilized world, but I think they're okay with that. 

2) People who understood it but didn't laugh. These are the people who everyone aspires to be. They are book smart and people smart. 

3) People who understood it and laughed. Well, congrats to these people. They are bona fide nerds. 

Speaking of nerds, I learned the Hebrew word for that term. It's "chnun." Great word to add to my repertoire. 

Also, learned the Hebrew word for x-ray on Shabbos. That will definitely help me in my everyday conservations in Israel. 

Speaking of Shabbos, it was so cute. I was in Benay Beraq. I love my cousins there. I spoke many muches of Hebrew, but I also did read many English books to the children. They liked me. They even knew my name. 

Yesterday was election day! I voted for the first time ever in my life. It was all super cool.

And now, we come to Strange Snippets:

"After all those years of suffering, Hashem's not going to give them a girl." This was said by a friend during a class where we were talking about the similarities between Rochel and Chana. 

"This generation has a problem with that (command prompt) because we can't spell." Teacher telling us why we use GUI nowadays. Pretty much, he was saying that our generation is stupid. Is he wrong?

Remember that teacher who showed us the video of himself teaching? Well, he also quoted Plato saying, "'Human beings are featherless bipeds.' Well, he's not wrong." This teacher is hilarious. 

We had a class on Monday that was the most boring thing that I've experienced in a very long while. I looked around the class, and not one person was paying attention. So I started writing poems. I forgot how I write my best poems in the middle of boring classes. Guess there is some value to boring classes. 

Anywho, gotta run. My—

Super-baby

You can't kill me, everyone; I have a child to care for. No, not for babysitting. No, not my toy dolls (I told you not to tell everyone about that). It's my real-life child. She's real. If you don't believe me...you're smart. But I'm not even lying this time. I'm telling the truth.  Pretty much, I have to an issue an apology to all (read: maybe one) of my fans that I have not written this blog in some time (read: like seven years), but I have good reasons. Let's go through them:  1) I was sick for like 3 months, because of the aforementioned child that is mine.  2) I didn't wanna 3) I left the school-that-must-not-be-named and so I was no longer crazy stressed and didn't need this blog to be my stress-relief, and I didn't have heresy classes to write it in anymore 4) I had really bad writer's block 5) I am no longer funny or weird because I have to be an adult, as there is an actual child in my house now.  6) I forgot I think those reaso...

Serial Cannibalist

There was a serial killer reading a magazine story while eating cornflakes-- he's a serial reading a serial eating cereal. As Faeven put it, he's like a serial cannibalist (I think she meant cannibal).  Speaking of Faeven, she and I went out today to our favorite falafel place, which is really just a yeshiva bachur hangout. She and I had such a good time, hocking it up. And then Mikvah-Jumper Avigayil came along (well, really she was walking peacefully along on her way when Faeven ran out and made her come talk to us), and we all laughed and talked about ridiculous things. And then Faeven and I walked around this store with everything, and I mean everything. You want a boogie board? Neon swim trunks? A tube? Mini spoons? A three-in-one ice scream mixer, slicer, and juicer? And we acted ridiculous the whole time, like if the CH saw me there, he'd probably pretend not to know me. Did I say probably? I meant definitely.  Anywho, did you know that Tzivie is an engaged wo...

Warrant

What's black and white and red all over? A yeshiva bachur on his first date. Don't ask me why that came out of my brain. I have no answer for you.  So, this week has been seven days. And that's all I can say about it, because I can't really remember what happened. I mean, I can recall certain things, but that's about it. EOOPS, you see. (The "e" is silent.) So let's begin from last week, where we left off after Shana Rishona's wedding. Naturally, after the wedding comes the sheva brachos. So, I went to one of her sheva brachos, the one in Bayit Vegan, home of all the Frenchies.  It was such a beautiful simcha, and the food was insane. The speeches were hilarious and so perfect for Shana Rishona. And it was so nice to see her all married and stuff.  At the sheva brachos, I asked one of the host's daughters for a beige dress. No, I didn't know this daughter. Never met her before in my life, actually. But I needed a dress for She-She's wed...
