I feel as if this isn’t really true with me. I mean, I think Josh is nifty as fuck, but I’m still completely logical about him O_o

If you know me personally and at any time you get the idea that you should tell my mother something stop. If the brilliant idea comes across to you that “hey, maybe I should go up to his mom and say ‘hey did you know your son…’” stop right fucking there. I don’t care what it is. If I wanted to tell her I would tell her.

I want to tell these things to everyone, but I don’t because I’m very...

Here’s a fun thing that has been zipping around the internets this week: a collection of “back of the envelope problems” put together by Edward Purcell. Hours of fun reading if you’re the kind of person who likes to spend their leisure time doing word problems (and I mean that in the best possible way).
One of Purcell’s problems is labeled “Electromagnetic energy in your eyeball,” and it...
