One of the better pranks I’ve heard about let alone seen video of.
Visit HarvardSucks.org where Yale students help Harvard express their true feelings about themselves.
Score of game: Harvard 35, Yale 3. Yet everyone goes home a winner.

Right to Party and Vote
Less than a week until the election ends and the post election season starts. To bide the time, I found a web site that counts the electoral votes based on state to state polls.
Current Electoral Vote Predictor 2004
Kerry and Bush are pretty much tied, with a few states swinging in the wind. New York isn’t up for grabs, but I’m going to vote anyway.
Find your polling place at an aptly named site MyPolling Place.com
Go vote, grab some popcorn to watch the returns and then realize how similar these two candidates really are.
Connect Four
This was a great childhood game because it was competive, skill based and quicker than monopoly.
It’s interesting to know that the game has been solved, meaning that computers have determined the first player to move can win every time if they play perfectly.
“There are some people who can play Connect Four perfectly. Wikipedia link for basic strategy. About Connect Four
When the first player goes in the middle column, the first player will always win if the first player is perfect, but the columns next to the middle column will result in a draw, and the other columns result in a second player win.”
Play Connect Four
I think the AI on this one is better, so when you dominate the first, try this Connect Four game.

USS Cole
The USS Cole was attacked by terrorists while at portin Yemen back in 2000. Far from recent news, but here’s how we brought her back for repairs. The Cole is a fairly big guided missile destroyer. The Marlin is a huge ship and it partly submerged itself, had the Cole tugged over it, and ascended with the Cole now on its deck.
The Cole returned to the Fleet in 2002.
Punch A Mole
I was never good at the punch a mole game. My excuse was that I was six and the wacking stick was too heavy. That same year I found out that you could pull out all the tickets from the skee-ball machine if you pull them slowly with constant pressure. That is really neither here nor there and I don’t remember any of the cool prizes I won, so there’s your brief glipse of me as a 6 year old.
In other news, this game is fun and will prepare you for your next career in data entry which starts shortly after your boss sees you playing this.

Idol Voting Explained
Last post I admitted to watching a lot of reality TV and especially Survivor. Congratulations to Rob and Amber, I’m a sucker for romantics and they’re cute together, and to Rupert for winning the ‘America voted’ million dollars. He got one of my votes. I’ve never voted on American Idol because I don’t watch the show live and the phone lines are only open for two hours in the time zone after the show airs. The key to American Idol and Jasmine’s reprieve from joining JPL and the football player is timezones.
