wise choices

I was watching a fantastic series on Discovery Channel called Human Planet.  They mentioned the Dorobo tribe of Kenya who who happens to have (by now it may be 'had') one of the last guys to know how to steal food from lions.  I thought they could have been a little more creative than just saying he was one of the last ones to know how to steal food from lions.  For example, I think it would have been much better to save that for a quiz question at the commercial break.

Q: There are how many Dorobo left who don't know what happened to the last 18 guys that tried to steal food from lions?
A) Everybody knows you don't steal food from lions.  Duh.
B) I'm kind of new here, but that has poor choice written all over it.
C) I thought this was supposed to be Avatar.
D) One.  His name is Rikita and we're going to show him trying to steal food from lions.  We're hoping it ends up like a bad NASCAR crash so stay tuned.

And for those of you who really want to know what happens...http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/human-planet-stealing-meat-from-lions.html.

strep throat

I can't swallow anything.  All I've eaten since Sunday afternoon is half a salad, most of a bowl of ice cream, a banana, most of a bowl of soup, and a yogurt.  I'm starving.  My body is becoming stronger by the second as it learns to fight off the attacks from itself.  And then it has to fight the fighting off.  It's a vicious cycle to become superhuman.

yay interweb

Now that it's 2011, we finally have the interweb at our house.  This means that I no longer have an excuse for not posting.  So I might.
