Maybe It's Food Poisoning, Maybe It's Catholic
I have decided my current ailments can be attributed to either food poisoning or influenza. Both have symptoms similar to what I've been experiencing for the past day or so. I really think it's food poisoning of the listeriosis variety from some Thai curry I ate Monday night. Being sick sucks.
Elsewhere (Jersey), in an abortion of free speech rights, Pope John XIII Regional High School has told its students they are no longer allowed to blog. Period. If a student is found to be blogging, he or she will be suspended. Reverend Kieran McHugh, the school's principal, says this rule is now in effect because of the dangers of predators going after the students. Our friends at the EFF are looking at ways to flog Pope John with large olive branches.
Also, anyone who wants to buy a ViewSonic VX924 monitor to replace my VA721 monitor is welcome to do so.

Pope John XIII Regional High School? What better way to prepare students for the future than by trying to emulate the society that existed in the year 972 A.D. This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day long, and keep in mind that I work in retail banking.
And now, drum roll please, I present to you the top ten lessons school students learn at this high school, reminiscent of the the year 968.
Number 10. Reading and writing are overrated.
Number 9. Brown vs. Board is still another 986 years away. Owning slaves is perfectly fine.
Number 8. Being burned at the stake isn't such a bad way to go.
Number 7. The Black Plague, which will kill 1 out of 3 of us, is still centuries away. Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!!!
Number 6. The Earth is too the center of the universe!
Number 5. Fearing things that you don't understand makes you way cool!
Number 4. Monotheism is for losers!
Number 3. Phrenology is a legitimate science.
Number 2. Intelligence is a sign of witchcraft.
And the number 1 lesson that is taught at the Pope John XIII High School: Blogging causes homosexuality!
Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week.
