wtf?

I wanted to compile a list of things that have been puzzling, amusing, and sometimes horrifying me lately, because the list just continues to grow:

• In Soviet Russia, dump takes YOU! Russians must have an odd sense of humor, but at least they are realistic. Girls usually go for the s**t heads, anyway:

• China just opened a "Little Peoples' Kingdom of Dwarfs." Um, yeah. Sorry, but this is one of my worst nightmares. I blame the oompa loompas.

• Rihanna's song Rude Boy is my favorite new song right now (and weeks before anyone else seemed to notice), but I'm a little surprised that she can say "Can you get it up?...Is you big enough?" in the choruses on the radio.

• Apparently, people with beards are considered more trustworthy salespeople. At least, Joel showed me a recent study that pointed to that (trying to justify his scruff). I told him that all beards weren't equal--I thought it depended on what the beard looked like and how it related to the rest of that person's image. Then, he found a graphic that backs me up! Personally, I would put the chin strap and mutton chops further down the list, but I generally agree. Lol.
  

• I really hope that volcanic ash clears up before Italy in June, and who would have thought that might be an issue? Getting stranded in Chicago for a day at the end of the Japan trip was bad enough. Oh, I am meeting the other people on the trip this Saturday! Hopefully, that goes well...but if not, I'm already going with a friend and the fact that I'll be in Italy should take care of the rest.

• Somehow this qualifies as dancing:

• And finally, this qualifies for talent:

I really thought this was a spoof at first. As a side note, I do many of those same dance moves in my car on long car rides, when I am trying to think of the most terrible and ridiculous dances I can think of. (What? It makes me laugh. I'm crazy like that.) I mean, the broken arm move? Really?

Well, that's all the time I have. I hope you all learned something today.
