So...I've always had a strong interest in crime stories, cults, serial killers, etc. I don't know why, it's always made me feel kinda weird.....so yeah. I'm excited today because I get to see my parents. I wanted to make a post about family, and this is the first thing that popped into my head.

I am morbid.

swarm theory
"Where this intelligence comes from raises a fundamental question in nature: How do the simple actions of individuals add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honeybees make a critical decision about their hive if many of them disagree? What enables a school of herring to coordinate its movements so precisely it can change direction in a flash, like a single, silvery organism? The collective abilities of such animals—none of which grasps the big picture, but each of which contributes to the group's success—seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with intriguing insights."

tales of twine
Who knew that three states could claim the record for the world’s largest ball of twine….
Minnesota (home of the Twine Ball Inn), Colorado and Kansas
ps. Even the Materialist must ask: Why ask why?! (and, besides, it’s really cold in those states)
ps. i'm thinking the third ball of twine might be a fake.

Hurray! Hurray! I'm going away today!
The morning? Hard.
Then the morning later? Fab.
Success, in any area, feels nice.
And it's still morning!
Except it's Twilight.
Ooooo. It'll be nice when the sun goes down. :)

Friday Party Day!
Friday: The name Friday comes from the Old English Frigedæg (pronounced [fri.je.dæg] or [fri.je.dæj]), meaning the day of Frige, the Germanic goddess of beauty, who is a later incarnation of the Norse goddess Frigg, but also potentially connected to the Goddess Freyja. It is based on the Latin Dies Veneris, "Day of Venus"; compare French Vendredi, Spanish Viernes, Romanian Vineri and Italian Venerdì. Venus was the Roman goddess of beauty, love and sex.

Apparently these are called litotes...
...but I prefer to think of them as "I don't want to date you. Please refrain from calling me" statements.
"I don't dislike you." means I don't like you.
"I don't not want to be with you." means I really don't like you.
"I don't not love you" means I have taken a restraining order out against you.
More examples
Litotes: As a means of saying:
"That does not surprise me." means "That is to be expected."
"The food was not bad." means "The food was acceptable/good (depending in emphasis)."
"That was no big deal." means "That was nothing."
"Don't fail me now!" means "Help me!"
Have a great day people.
