Archimedes Meets Shakespeare

Archimedes is probably the coolest guy in all of history. I mean, the guy invented the cuckoo clock, the odometer, and a semi-modern irrigation system, ALL BEFORE 200 B.C.E.! He was a mathematician, a physicist, and an architect at the same time, and basically defended tiny little Syracuse, Sicily from the entire Roman navy using his own Grecian noggin. And Shakespeare, well, he's pretty cool too, and I'm an English teacher. Read Hamlet.

Woohoo Arizona!

Wow, in what appears to be a stodgy conservative state, Arizona voters passed many liberal propositions in the elections. Way to go, us!

We have followed in the footsteps of New York and New Jersey by outlawing smoking inside in public places. This is the best news since it passed in New York. No longer will we have to choose between taking a half hour shower before bed and spending an hour the following day washing the smoke out of our sheets.

There's other news, too, but I'm sure you can read a better report elsewhere.

Ban that smoking! Go AZ!
