So today my name and YouTube channel were on the front page of the New York Times. My mom called me at 7:30 AM, there were like 10,000 tweets, John and I had a little party on the phone, Felecia Day tweeted at us. It is very exciting.
However, I’ve had several people (who don’t know a lot about…
Congrats to Hank :)
My mom and I bought matching nerdfighter travel cups today. We didn’t even know we needed new travel cups xD

Baboons can learn to tell the difference between real four-letter words and nonsense combinations of letters. And once they figure out the patterns, these monkeys can guess with impressive accuracy whether a new word is real or fake.
Because baboons can’t actually read, a new study supports the theory that the brains of our primate ancestors held the necessary hardware for understanding written words long before humans evolved. Only after we starting writing and reading about 5,400 years or so did we apply our object-recognition abilities to letter symbols.
By the end of the training period, which included about 50,000 trials for each animal, all of the baboons had learned to recognize at least 81 words at an accuracy rate of about 75 percent, the researchers report today in the journal Science. One animal learned more than 300 words.

Political Circus
Trust me, this whole Election 2012 has been quite painful, and thank god that the Republican presidential race is almost over. Anyway, these are my thoughts/rants.
Alright, so back in 2008, every god damn Republicans were saying Obama is not qualified to become a President of the U.S. because he is young and inexperienced. To certain point, I did agree with them. But when 2012 Election came, these same people supported Rick Santorum, who is young, inexperienced, and even better, a freaking lunatic. This drove me nuts, and thank god he is out of this race.
Otherwise, the other contenders looked okay. Ron Paul would be nice, if he actually become little more sane with a domestic policy. But sadly, people are not voting for him because of his foreign policy, not because of his domestic.
Lastly, our god damn media should label “Election 2012” as “Presidential Idol 2012”. People are voting based on what they like to hear instead of information based on their political records.
Done ranting
We have to keep this in our mind even when we get old. Never dismiss anything as a waste of time when you don’t understand anything.
“Canada is scrapping the penny, ending production of the country’s smallest unit of currency this spring.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, whose department described the penny as a “nuisance” in budget documents, said the coin is now more trouble than it’s worth.
