This is the best thing I have seen all week

Seriously. Look at it.

I have no words.

Probably the best sport ever

If our forefathers could see the amazing advances we’ve made in the modern world, I’m sure they would be both astounded and proud of the direction mankind has followed.

Or they’ll see stuff like this.

Once again, I must commend the great nation of Japan. That looks like a ridiculous sport, yes, but at least their kids are active enough to play sports. Plus, they can also do math. And science. Also, music. 

Also, the American education system might be in need of some reform. 

Watch as zoo keepers struggle to contain a deadly rhino piñata

I love when real news articles sound like Onion headlines. 

Read the carefully researched piece of journalism here: “Police scramble to snare escaped papier mâché rhino at Japanese zoo.”

Oh, Japan. What would we ever do without you?

I should probably just call this The Jeremy Lin Blog

I checked the score on my iPhone during sushi/sake with the girls and announced it to the table, at which point, a random man at the table next to us enthusiastically joined our conversation and proclaimed his excitement about the Knicks win.

Yes. And yes, 90 to 87.

“I was at Madison Square Garden the day they played the Nets. I put him in my fantasy basketball team that night. That night.”

“He’s been talking about it all evening.” His date said, with a really understanding look for someone whose boyfriend was obviously slightly preoccupied on Valentine’s Day.

After last night’s down-to-the-wire win, Lin now has the highest total score for the first five starting games of any NBA player in history. Talk about building up a fan expectations.

Jeremy Lin, Landry Fields, and "the nerdiest handshake in NBA history"

I promise to stop posting about Jeremy Lin soon, but this was too good not to share. The Mercury News brought this adorable video to attention. 

“Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields of the New York Knicks may comprise the most intelligent starting backcourt in NBA history….So it’s not surprising when Lin and Fields unveiled what has to be the nerdiest pre-game handshake in league history. The choreographed skit features the two skimming through an imaginary book, taking off their glasses and then placing them inside pocket protectors.” Mercury News

Watch the video here. Sound’s not necessary, so feel free to click in class.
