…that the movie quote forum got spammed this week.  Pretty impressive stuff Bob.

I’ve been taking some physics classes at school and we pretty much always use the metric system. Now, I’m a big fan of the metric system. It makes sense to me. It counts in 10s instead of in whatevers like they crazy system we use here does. Water boils at 100 degrees and freezes at 0 degrees. I mean, what is this 212 and 32 anyway? This lead me to start thinking about what it would take to change the US over to the metrics system. Most scientific studies already use the metric system so those wouldn’t have to change much. It would be quite an undertaking to change all the street signs, but if we did it in phases it wouldn’t be so bad. I honestly think that the hardest thing about changing to the metric system completely would be changing heights and lengths of various sporting things. I could hear the school kids now, “Hey, can you dunk on a 3.048 meter rim?” or “That was a 91.44 meter touchdown run.” Okay, so those are direct conversions to the metric system from the British system, but would we really want to change the height of a rim .048 meters or add 8.56 meters to a football field to even them out. I guess that wouldn’t be so bad for football, but saying that you could dunk a 3 meter rim just doesn’t have the same effect. I’m willing to make the change, but I don’t know if others are. Since the title of this post has the words “presidential candidates” in it, I have just this to say: If a presidential candidate proposed that we change completely over to the metric system, I would vote for him/her.

Last night I started reading the book “Twilight.” My wife read the entire book the other day and has started to read the second book of the series. I’ve only made it 53 pages into the book, but it seems to be pretty good so far.

Well, Christmas was quite eventful. We spent Christmas Eve at my wife’s parent’s house. Christmas Eve night my two boys ran into each other and my older boy knocked his front tooth out. Not really knowing what to do my wife called her dentist and he told us to stick the tooth back in. Well, if anyone knows my son, he is a fighter. He’s only 3, but he’s strong. We had about 5 people holding him down so my wife could push the tooth back into his mouth. Well, to make a long story short, the tooth didn’t stay and he is now missing one of his front teeth. That was our Christmas fun. We mostly spent Christmas day being lazy, which is exactly how I like to spend Christmas.

Another happy thing happened over the break. McDonald’s decided to bring back their McRib sandwich. Now, I know that you are probably disgusted by the very thought of such a thing and I have to tell you that you should be. The McRib is the single most disgusting concept for a fast food burger ever invented. It’s faker than fake and is quite disgusting, the only problem is that I’m addicted to them. I don’t know why and I can’t explain it. My wife and I went and got them a couple of times.

I’m excited to get back to regular work and school. I can only be lazy for so long. It’s been a long time since I have written here, but I’m gonna start up again.
