My high school got one. I was the first student to touch it. I played Choose the right.

They say that the first song you play on a new piano is the song that imprints on its soul.

(OK fine, nobody says that. But they should!)

Well, then that’s going to be one heck of a righteous piano。

Gio, get off your 1946 typewriter. I know it's retro hip, but seriously.

Watching the "Watchmen" with Mr. Mico right now. The disc stopped working so we are having an intermission. It's kind of too violent for me, but at least I was prepared since I read the comic a while back. Also, there is a lot of deep stuff in this story; correction, a lot of deep stuff that I disagree with. :) It's still interesting.

I just watched 30 of these, and it's all your fault! Also, I got to go to Powell's the other day, where I found a series of murder mysteries I once read based around a crossword puzzle constructor. I bought two of them and am having a fun time rereading them, now that I've forgotten how they ended. A Clue For The Puzzle Lady and Last Puzzle and Testament by Parnell Hall.

There's a reality show on TLC right now (Is that redundant, reality show on TLC?). Anyways, I never watch that channel, but how could you not stop on a channel when you see two heads on one body? Abby and Brittany. "The show features their graduation from Bethel University, subsequent job search, and their travels in Europe."

How does that work? Who controls the legs? Who feels the need to use the bathroom?

From what I've read, one controls one side and the other controls the other side, so they have to coordinate. But they've gotten quite good at it, to the point where they can even type and drive.

Wikipedia has a rundown of their organ distribution. Talk about getting inside information.
What I wonder is if the one on the left has a sore neck or is tired of seeing the world at a crooked angle always.

Aaaaand I just watched them all. Pretty great stuff. I'm looking forward to the next video.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

The best part of the article is where it says they live private lives, right before talking about their reality show. This is why I heart Wikipedia.
