...when you proceed to point your keyless entry key chain at your house trying to unlock the front door. "What the hell is wrong with this thing?...never mind..."
It seems I've been having a lot of those days lately. I don't know if I'm actually getting dumber or what. I'm pretty sure I'm too young to go senile. I have had a few concussions in my life...
I was watching a recording of Veronica Mars. I'm giving it a chance because my cousins swear by it. Watching the season opener I found it kinda boring and completely unimaginative. During the opeing of the second episode she poses a question during her opening monologue:
VERONICA VOICEOVER: If a school bus, traveling forty miles per hour
...drives off a cliff and plunges ninety feet into the jagged coastline
...how many seconds did the six high school students, their teacher, and bus driver have to contemplate the fact that they're about to die?
...Two Mississippis' worth of screams, life flashes, and prayers, maybe?
I stopped the tape and thought this over. Flashes of physics classes past started flashing before my eyes. I figured if I had the formula that it'd take me like 2 mins to answer the question. It actually took a little longer than that because it took me a few mins to figure out the awkwardrd way the formula was written. But still I had to sit there and remember...
BTW, why doesn't America just go metric already? If you watch Star Trek or any other futuristic movie or TV shows you must realize that at some point in the future they will convert, its inevitable. Just do it already, sheesh:)
Nothing in my every day life requires me to use my brain in any challenging way. It's like an unused muscle. I think I'm getting soft in the brain. Maybe I should go blonde again...ah,no.
Rhoel.
BTW...2.37 seconds. Someone check my math, it's probably wrong.
