I know its Game 7 tonight and I’m risking bad karma with this post, but I can’t resist a good Yankees joke…

This, courtesy of perhaps the best sports blog on the web, Uni Watch:

The famous Scottage provides mathematical proof that Girls=Evil. You be the judge:
I still prefer this mathematical equation:

Call me crazy, but I think the fact that it protects against SPAM comments is the SECOND best thing about Blogger Word Verification. I just really love some of the crazy letter combinations they come up with.

I’m hoping one day I get a grouping of letters that spells something out–hopefully something vulgar. Its probably a very rare occurrence. I mean I’ve probably seen thousands of Word Verifications in the past year and the closest I’ve come to a real word was:And that’s only because it make me think it said “Lexus”

But some of these Word Verifications don’t need to be actual words to sound funny when read.

Like this: I’m not sure why, but “Y-UW-PURY” sounds like something a Chinese man would ask a cat.

And doesn’t this: sound like a French delicacy?

So the next time you leave a comment here on Dr. Blogstein, take a moment and read your Word Verification. It just may entertain you (or me.)

Kids, before you decide to bring a gun to homeroom and shoot up your high school please read this post. And don’t worry, I wont be telling you not to do it (though for the record, I’d prefer that you didn’t.)

Now that school shootings seem to be back in style and in the newspaper every morning, I felt it was time to talk to all the youngsters out there. So, listen up children…

I know high school is hard and kids can be real cruel, but mass murder is not the best way to prove to your classmates that you’re not a freak. In fact, you may just be proving them right.

Trust me, high school ends. You will get out. I can understand how, when you’re a 15-year-old freshman, four whole years can seem like a long time. You know why? Because when you’re 15, four years is over a quarter of your life. I assure you though, it will end. Just wait it out.

And while you’re waiting, don’t shoot your classmates. If you’re being picked on and feel the need to retaliate, be creative. Pay a local thug to beat the bully up. Try to spread a rumor that your bully has Syphilis. Or use photoshop to show your bully in a compromising position with Mr. Reynolds the gym teacher.

Another reason not to murder your bully is because these things usually end up as a murder/suicide. This means, that you’ll more than likely have to kill yourself after shooting up your high school.

Being dead is not going to improve your self esteem. In fact, I can guarantee that you’ll be real bummed out when the popular kid that you killed has many more people at his funereal than you do. Why put yourself in such an embarrassing situation?

Please, young and troubled web surfers, listen to me. Shooting up your school is a bad idea. There is a future for losers and dorks in this world. You can grow up to be rich and successful with a really hot girlfriend. If you kill, you’ll either end up dead or in jail, where you’ll be someone’s really hot girlfriend.

Trust me, I’m a doctor.
