Sometimes, smart people can be quite dumb.
Year after year, I would enjoy taking part in the lighting of candles at the Jewish celebration of Channukah.
This is a tradition I’ve carried over into my own home. Honestly, it’s a riot to hear a Chinese woman trying to produce the Hebrew ‘ch’ sound.
I’ve always liked lighting things on fire (purely as an educational exercise, I’m sure). Channukah is great for that. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy playing with melted wax? Such people should be driven from our world.
This brings me to an embarrassing note. A couple of years ago, I made some comment which lead my wife to make this mocking statement: “You DO know that candles use wax as fuel, right?”
If I had gotten down to the details and thought about the composition of candles, I feel sure I would have known that. However, I responded from the ‘knowledge’ I had retained since childhood.
“I thought that the wick burns and the wax just makes it burn more slowly,” I said.
She then drew my attention to the content of candle wax and the undeniable truth that there is significantly less wax left over after a candle has finished burning.
I sat, dumbfounded, for a few seconds.
“So, who am I supposed to hand my degree back to?”
…You know, Sherlock Holmes didn’t even know the Earth revolves around the sun!
So, I’ve been digging around in Tumblr’s layout code.
As of the way it is currently implemented (and thanks to they fact that they are reblogging tags, themselves), I should now able to replace every feature of Missing e that uses the Tumblr API with a version that does not use their API. With the sole exception of Timestamps, which kinda sucks.
They’re even BETTER with strings!
Me: Maggie, I’m Internet famous! Someone wrote an article about me!
My Wife: Did they write about how smelly you are? No? Then, I don’t want to read it.
So you grab a pen just so you don’t feel like your
lifeeffort hasn’t been completely wasted.Then, you add the pen to your ever-growing collection of trophies of your forgetfulness.
