No I'm not colorblind. Just messing around with the template designer.

opposable thumbs and such biological marvels

In the complicated world of gadgets humans are developing new skills. Yes they are. I can talk and text simultaneously. I swear I can............ if you count saying yes at intervals as conversation.

A few years ago I often found myself to be one party of a 'conference' call. While Shaggy and me talked nineteen to the dozen, our third friend usually never said anything. In fact sometimes, fifteen minutes into the conversation, shaggy would inform me that he was also on the line because I would assumed it was just a normal phone call. He never knew when to start talking he said.

My family has almost perfected the art of having a three way conversation on the phone. They call me. Then they go on talking. Every time I open my mouth to say hi or some such attention-seeking thing they say shutup.

For example-

Me: Hi

Bro: Wait

Ma: Where does this wire go?

Bro: This slot in the camera has a picture of the wire Ma. Obviously...

Me: Hi

Bro: Yeah

Ma: Where does the other end go?

Bro: BOTH ENDS DONT GO IN THE CAMERA IDIOT. ONE HAS TO PLUG INTO THE COMPUTER

Ma: Oh

Me: Uhh

Ma: Where does the other end go?

Bro: Same slot where the pendrive goes.

Me: uhh

Bro: YOU. talk to her.

Me: Why?

Bro: Then I dont have to talk to her.

Ma: Hi baby

Me: Hi

Ma: I plugged it in, nothing happened.

Me: Did you turn it on?

Ma: Oh. Ok. Bye.

I will have children with two thumbs on each hand. They will text. Never call.

A month after I left home my parents bought a large screen tv.

This year I saw the Indian cricket team bring home the World Cup sitting in the room amidst more than a hundred shrieking ladies who scream for amir khan. rahul gandhi, advertisements and dot balls among other things.

Last year I saw three quarters of a crappy movie waiting for a senior to finally go to bed at 2 am so that I could watch the last few minutes of a champions league quarter final.

I was thrown out of the common room on porn night for laughing too loudly because the porn was soft. Really really soft. (how is this porn? u cant even see **** hahaha............. please leave)

I was asked how many overs of a tennis match were left.

ENOUGH i say. I'm going home now. Somebody warn the neighbours.

xkcd conversations. real life

Three years of nerd class. Some amazingly strange conversation has happened. It's like xkcd in real life

"They have three cars."

"How many of them are there?"

"Two."

"Oh....so they have one and a half cars each?" (Unitary method)

"My hunger is so erratic. And it diverges to infinity." or "My stomach is like a black hole."

(limits. astronomy)

"She hates me. But sometimes she also likes me. But then she has reasons for both."

"Uhhuh."

"It's like an equilibrium"

"I feel like a solar eclipse" (I don't even remember the context or meaning of this profound sentence)

"I have a quantum mech exam"

"But can't we party before?

"No. No. There is some uncertainty you see." (Heisenberg!)

And the last one which sums it all up...

"I'm out of touch with conversation. Like a rusty motor."

Revelations that happened this week-

A speech in 3rd person about the creeps stalking you on facebook can take on magnificently different proportions when delivered from a first person viewpoint.

An awesome project which lets you work in a separate lab also entails that you spend half an hour with a tiny duster cleaning all the tables in the lab by yourself.

The NEW height of boredom-

"Oye, what's up?"

"Nothing man"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm sitting and watching the downloads happen."

Superhero vs Genius

A train of thought was put into motion by my roommate's boyfriend yesterday.

So he's a superhero. I'm a genius. (No, I mean it.)

He insists she's his sidekick. I insist that can't be. I get dibs. I'm a genius. Plus I knew her first but that's less important.

I mean where would superheroes be without the geniuses? Who would design the spider suit? (Okay, spiderman's a genius and a superhero rolled into one. Which btw, is WHY he is awesome.) But who would make the cutting edge car and the almost-mind-reading-capable computer?

Hah. Don't make fun of us because we wear glasses and don't have the biceps. One day we will take over the universe. With math.
