Okay, so NASA hasn’t announced that it’s discovered evidence of extra-terrestrial life, as was rumored/hoped for as soon as today’s press conference was announced earlier this week. And while the discovery of an entirely new lifeform that redefines life as we know it is nothing to be sneezed at – Anything that actually deserves the [...]
School! It’s where you send your kids when you’ve realized that you don’t love them enough to keep them around all day. But if fiction is to be believed, schools are also magical and exciting places where children learn more than just the basics of geography or math. But with so many schools to choose [...]
“Lois, Pulitzer Prizes are like Academy Awards, nobody remembers what you got one for, just that you got one,” Perry White from Superman Returns
