Seeing as Il Professore doesn't want us rowing during August, and wants us to run to stay in shape, I figure I'm going to try to get together a little running group for August. So, if any of you crew people (or anybody else, for that matter, although it might be not be too much fun for you to run with a bunch of guys you don't know) want to run together, talk to me about it. We're going to start on Wednesday, and I'm going to try to make it 3 or four times a week, running with various distances and speeds, as well as throwing in some hills or stairs. If you want to join us on Wednesday, we're, meeting up on Queen Anne at 4th Ave N and Wheeler at 10AM. So just lemme know if you want to do this.

I'm just going to put this up here, cause I find it interesting and it works fairly well, in my opinion. I may have told this to some of you, but in that case don't ruin it for everybody else. If those of you who are doing this could just leave your answers as comments, I will explain the test to you individually, and possibly not in a public area, cause you may not want your answers explained to the whole world. If you don't care about that, just say so.
1. What is your favorite color, and give four one word adjectives as to why.
2. If you were an animal, what would you want to be, and again four one word adjectives why.
3. Of the following four bodies of water, which would you like to be near, and again 4 one word adjectives why.
a. Quiet Lake
b. Swift Moving River
c. Waterfall
d. Ocean
4. One night you go to bed as you usually do...upon waking, you find that you're inside a pitch-black room with no visible doors, windows or exits...What do you do? and again four one word adjectives why.

ONLY IN AMERICA
1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
4. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
AND THAT IS WHY WE LOVE AMERICA!

EVER WONDER
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

IN CASE YOU NEEDED FURTHER PROOF THAT THE HUMAN RACE IS DOOMED THROUGH STUPIDITY, HERE ARE SOME ACTUAL LABEL INSTRUCTIONS ON CONSUMER GOODS.
> > On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
> > On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)?
> > On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)
> > On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).
> > On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
> > On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:"Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)
> > On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time!)
> > On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
> > On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....)
> > On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what)?
> > On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
> > On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
> > On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
> > On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
> > On a Swedish chainsaw:"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
> > Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to

Oh, and hannah wants me to give her credit for these, so i got them from her. Although I'm not sure where she got them.

Ignore that last one, I'll write in this sometimes.
I love it when you're in the good boat, and you have a really good row, and then the other boat has a horrible one. Makes me like "glad I wasn't in your boat SUCKAS" and then you laugh at them.
Funniest definition EVER (so funny I'm not quite sure if it's real):
wank
/wangk/ [Columbia University: probably by mutation from
Commonwealth slang "wank", to masturbate] Used much as hack
is elsewhere, as a noun denoting a clever technique or person
or the result of such cleverness. May describe (negatively)
the act of hacking for hacking's sake ("Quit wanking, let's go
get supper!") or (more positively) a wizard. "wanky"
describes something particularly clever (a person, program, or
algorithm). Conversations can also get wanky when there are
too many wanks involved. This excess wankiness is signalled
by an overload of the "wankometer" (compare bogometer).
When the wankometer overloads, the conversation's subject must
be changed, or all non-wanks will leave. Compare
"neep-neeping" (under neep-neep). Usage: US only. In
Britain and the Commonwealth this word is *extremely* rude and
is best avoided unless one intends to give offense.
