I am rooming with Kyle and The Toth in Argentina!

The Chicago River

The Chicago River is the coolest thing ever! In 1900, the Sanitary District of Chicago completely reversed the flow of the river using a series of canal locks. Also, ever year, on St. Patrick's Day, the Chicago River is dyed green! Crazy! Apparently, "the idea of dyeing the Chicago River green originally came about by accident when a group of plumbers were using fluorescein dye to trace illegal substances that were polluting the river".

Golf

Em and I get to be all proper, today, and go to the country club. It'll be fun. I'm going to make fun of all the old people.

Brown

I went to The Lab, today. I spent my time reading this.

Time Person Of The Year

It's generally viewed that being named Time Person Of The Year is a dignified, well-respected honor. But, few know that communist dictator Joseph Stalin was named Time Man Of The Year not once, but twice.






Even Hitler won in 1938. His issue is the only one not to picture the person selected on the cover. I can't believe that a well-known magazine, like Time, would honor somebody who killed millions of innocent people. I'm just a little bit mad.



Here are some of my favorite issues.



That's right! I've been named 2006 Time Person Of The Year!


This issue is titled 1966 Time People Of The Year: The Generation Twenty-Five And Under, referring to the Baby Boomers
