You are now entering the twilight zone.
The Aurora is caused by the interaction between high-energy particles (ejected from our Sun during violent solar eruptions) and our Earth’s atmosphere. These particles collide with atoms of Oxygen and Nitrogen in the admosphere, causing the gases to experience a “quantum leap” and emit light energy. Green and red are from Oxygen atoms, while pinks and blues are from Nitrogen.
Science can be beautiful.
Isn’t it special that Urban Dictionary always seems to have something nice to say about people? But seriously, though, Urban Dictionary is putting a lot of pressure on me to have a “huge donger”/”huge dick”/”an abnormally large [you-know-what] usually ranging to 7.5 inches to 8” (from looking up Thomas, my middle name)
Nice to meet you too, Lizzy.

(via Republican Children Say the Darndest Things About Barack Obama)
“Is the Obama going to send the rappers to get my mommy? - Brian Wind, Age 10, Liberty University Advanced Children’s Christian Center for Learning
“How is my daddy going to get his money for retirement if Obama is going to take it all and give it to the Negroes?” - Jenny Yolinda, Age 10, Landover Baptist Christian Academy for the Saved
“If Obama gets elected, will the coloreds move to our neighborhood?” - Timothy Jenkins, Age 9, Landover Baptist Elementary School for the Saved
“How comes a colored person is allowed to be a President?” - Sally Fisher, Age 17 Landover Baptist High School For the Saved
“Will Obama make my Daddy pay Monique more money to clean my bedroom? And can I still boss her around my bathroom alot? She’s so funny looking! I like it when she always says to me, “yes ‘ma’am!” - Alison Hahan, Age 17, Landover Baptist Creation Research Academy
[Good to know it’s not just the adult republicans who are racist… And that age 17 is not “old enough to know better”.]
“I’m saving myslef for maragie, Is Obama going to make me have sex with my girlfriend and smoke marniguana and cigarittes before I’m old enough? - Jonathan Westfalls, Age 45, Liberty University School of Advanced Baptist Learnings
[Apparently republicans are broadening the operartional definition of “Child”… I think I’m going to be sick…
Another thing that bothers me, particularly about the schools “for the saved” is that just by saying you are saved does not give you divine authority or the right to be racist. Nor does it mean you are “saved” yourself. If there is a hell, I would like to see the statistics of how many residents attended schools “for the saved”. I would bet good money that it is a large proportion.]
Edit: Gareth tells me this site is satire. So, I’m going to say: “good job” and end it there. Not sure if it says more about me or about society that I thought it was real.
Say what you want about Amir Blumenfeld - the man can tell a story.

In my opinion, this principal had principles.
This story has been in the news for several months now, and I am quite disappointed in what has happened.
This principal of a New Brunswick school had parents complain to him about the singing of O Canada each morning, claiming to feel their child’s religion was being discriminated against. I don’t know if they used such harsh words, but in any case, singing the national anthem made them or their kids feel uncomfortable.
And, being Canadian, the school decided to cut back on the singing of O Canada - to harbour inclusiveness and welcoming. In true Canadian spirit.
But then the government sweeps in and requires that all New Brunswick schools sing O Canada.
I was definitely of the opinion that the national anthem shouldn’t be cut - but I think that it is dispicable to force people to sing the national anthem. Is this not a free country? And above it all, the principal has been asked to resign.
Not cool, New Brunswick.

One of my favorite Wikipedia entriesYou will not regret reading this. I don’t often laugh out loud by myself at Wikipedia, but this entry finds a way to make it happen.
You know how sometimes you read a word so often it loses all meaning? This will make Buffalo one of those words.
And I’m now considering naming my first born child Buffalo. Boy or girl.
