Graduation--or Mama Bragging

They haven't posted this on their own yet and I can't stand it:  Elizabeth and Josh have both graduated from Tennessee Tech-Elizabeth in December with high honors and two degrees, one in French and one in Secondary Education.  Josh granduated 2 weeks ago in Mechanical Engineering with highest honors.  He was also one of only 5 people graduating with a 4.0 average for all of college, and the only engineer in that group.  They both graduated "in cursu honorium" and there was a nice ceremony for that the day before the big graduation.  CONGRATULATIONS, KIDS....WE ARE PROUD OF YOU BOTH!!!

Don't let your Physics teacher see this

I couldn't get this comic to show up right on this page, so before you read the rest of the post, you have to go here and read the comic.  Be sure to mouse over the image and read the additional text that appears to get the full joke.

I would have sworn you had to have gone to Ms. Jacoby's class and had parents with a thing for Sean Connery as James Bond to ever think up a joke like this, but as far as I can tell this guy isn't from Oak Ridge.  (I'm betting his family is either at least as weird as ours, or painfully normal, though.)

His webcomic site, xkcd, is quite funny; however, a substantial number of the comics feature adult subject matter, so don't say I didn't warn you.  The one I linked has got to be my favorite, though this one also makes me giggle.

Interesting Map

This should give Laura and Marcus a chance to explore their roots (*rimshot*).

One of the great things about blogging is that it puts you out of range of thrown objects.
