M.I.T.

Ah, in this world I may be a geeky loser who doesn't do his homework even when he should, but in a parallel universe I am the lead singer in a band called MIT--that's short for Musicians In Training. (Hey, it's better than The Shins. Oy.) Since it's a parallel universe, not only can I play the guitar, but I even have a good singing voice, not to mention that the band is quite popular, thankyouverymuch. Among our songs are "Ask Me No Questions and I'll Tell You No Lies", "Conservationism", "Tell Me, Tell Me", "What the French are For" (a parody), and the #1 chart-topper "Raging at the Wall", which has quite a story behind it. Naturally, not a single word is true, because it never happened, due to it being in a parallel universe and all that. But you get the drift.

TODAY'S WEBSITE: thrillingwonder.blogspot.com A former Blogspot Blog of Note that actually deserved the honor (trust me, I have no idea how they pick them), Dark Roasted Blend is a site to Get Lost In, scrolling through the oodles and oodles of photo- and picture-essays that are uploaded to it practically daily, on subjects ranging from the humorous to the profound to the scientific to the amazing to the plain old weird. Great fun.

Half Pint
A policeman in Salford, England, spotted a car running at 70 mph in a 30 mph residential area and gave chase. In addition to the speeding, the driver was going the wrong way, in the dark without lights, and drunk (.050 percent vs a legal limit of .035). He was also just 13 years old, and police caught him when he lost control and crashed. District Judge Jonathon Finestein sentenced the boy to four months in custody, plus a driving ban for four years — to start when he becomes eligible for a driver’s license. Judge Finestein, citing the “exceptional” nature of the case, allowed newspapers to report the boy’s identity despite his age: Jon Smee. (London Guardian) ...An obvious deterrent — that will keep it from ever happening with someone that young again.
