Janny: Your Ultimate Source on Bea Arthur Wrestling Dinosaurs

No fewer than 5 out of the last 100 visitors to my blog were searching for images of Bea Arthur wrestling a velociraptors.

I tried a google search myself and came across this discussion on "Bea Arthur vs a Raptor"

StoneGold: Bea Arthur vs a Raptor

Crinos: Why is Bea Arthur floating? Is she haunting the Raptors her killed her?
Hmm... Bea Arthur goes back in time, gets killed by Raptors, then becomes a ghost that causes the extinction of the dinosaurs, thus gaining an army of dinosaur ghosts.
"Bea Arthur: Ghost dinosaur general."
Hey, I'd read it.

Grazzt:No, she's actually a super hero in real life. Just like Hugh Downs on Family guy, or Lucy Lawless on the Simpsons.
This gives me a good idea for a crossover. Deadpool/Bea Arthur in the Savage Land!

StoneGold:That's just pure lemon fanfic fodder.

Maybe Could You Be Swarmed by Bees?

The Devils haven't been bitten by the injury bug, they've been in the center of a swarm of killer bees.

How dare he insult the majestic bee with his terrible sports analogy!

Roger would be glad to hear it...

Cavaliers Declared NBA Champions As Basketball Knocks Off Early

NEW YORK—A happy, triumphant, and visibly relieved LeBron James accepted the 2009 NBA Championship trophy from commissioner David Stern at a small ceremony in New York Wednesday, just hours after the NBA announced that it would be canceling the remainder of the 2008–2009 season to give itself, and sports fans, a much-needed break.

Uneasy feeling

As a courtesy, I emailed my professor to tell her I was dropping her class. She replied that she wants to meet with me. Ugh, the thought of what she might want to say to me makes me feel uneasy. I've made a formal complaint about her during a time when the department was considering not hiring her to teach any additional classes.* As of now she is not teaching any classes next semester and the university has no plans to hire her for any in the future. I didn't do anything wrong, I just reported her unprofessional behaviour.** I'd rather avoid her especially since she was hostile towards me even before I destroyed her chances of a career at the university. If she is going to freak out on me, I'd rather her do it through email so then I can forward it onto the department.




*I have worked for the math department for longer than she has. I am well known in the department and am regularly asked by staff to work for them. I was offered 6 different jobs (unsolicited) for the current school year. Despite the rage this situation causes me, the math department head saw my complaints as constructive criticism.
** I have kept a journal since the second week of school. I have documentation for everything she has done plus another student to corroborate.

Withdrawn

I finally dropped the class where I has having problems with the professor. I had gone to the department head and made a formal complaint and nothing improved. She copied notes straight out the textbook, refused to give any further examples not already worked out in the textbook, arrived late to class every day, never was available for help, became agitated when we didn't understand .... I could list so much more. My breaking point was preparing for a midterm that I knew nothing about the topic because I had to learn everything on my own, she refused to give us a proper answer sheet with the work shown because it was "too time consuming" and she never handed back our previous assignments that the test was based on. I just don't have the energy to deal with the drama anymore. I am interested in the topic but don't need the class for my degree. I just wished I would have done this weeks ago.

Who knew that he was funny too?!?!

Very Bit Makes a Difference

I wish more people in my own country had this attitude:

"This is huge. This is bigger than life itself. When I was coming up, I always thought they put in who they wanted to put in. I didn’t think my vote mattered. But I don’t think that anymore."
