It is the “Metaphysical Studies” section. I look over and see the title of one of the books: “The Magic of Shapeshifting”. For some reason I do not think it is referring to this kind of shapeshifting. If I could shape-shift I think I would make myself look exactly like my brother. That or a large red panda.

I had a fun time trying to explain the concept of Pi to my daughter. Not sure it took. If she remembers 3.14 tomorrow I will consider it a success.

Special thanks to Jennifer Hampton for the pun.

I hope you have fun playing with it. If you wind up writing a book as a result make sure to name the protagonist after me.

Here are two example results:

 There once was a man in crowded
 Who thought they were quite shambled.
 They had their observation's,
 And some abbreviations,
 But could not really unheeded.
 There once was a lady from miserably,
 Who thought they were quite fashionably.
 They had their coupon,
 And some hellion,
 But could not really provably.

While in Ithaca over Christmas, I managed to catch a couple ‘bowl’ games. The sportscasters were mentioning how for a couple teams this was their first bowl game. No wonder when you now have the ‘Pioneer Purevision Las Vegas Bowl’, the ‘Meineke Car Care Bowl’ or the ‘PapaJohns.com bowl’. I think things are getting a little out of hand. There are still teams that cannot make it into a bowl game, so here I submit my suggestions for the next bowl games:
    Campbell’s Soup Bowl
    McCormik Salad Bowl
    Dole Fruit Bowl
    Long John Silver Fish Bowl
    KoolAid Punch Bowl
    Iams Dog Bowl
    Snickers Snack Bowl
    SweetTart Candy Bowl
    DirtDevil Dust Bowl
    KitchenAid Mixing Bowl
    Kohler Wash Bowl
    MrClean Toilet Bowl

I estimate it to be about 793 meters away (as the waterballoon flies). They graciously invited me over for dinner last night, and I got to see their two cute kids as well. I just wish I knew the area better to have been able to bring flowers or something, like a good guest.

In separate news, we no longer have the Deep South…
