What An Engineering Degree Gets You

Do you ever find yourself full after only eating half your meal, and want to be healthy and save the rest for later, but don't have clingy wrap? Well, the clever geniuses here in my head have found a solution! You will need:

Ziplock Baggy (x2):


Duct tape:


Scissors:


Food to save:


Step 1:
- Cut the bags down one side.


Step 2:
- Place one bag over one side of container.


Step 3:
- Place second bag over the other side.


Step 4:
- Wrap duct tape around to hold bags together


Step 5:
- Place covered container in refrigerator.


Now you can be healthy and eat less, and be more cost effective by making a can of chili last two meals. Success!

Gingrich's Mad Debating Skills

I've long been impressed with Newt Gingrich's debating skills. He might have baggage and problems politically, but on a debate stage he's the king. This was demonstrated yet again in Thursday's debate, the last before the South Carolina primary.

In the day or two leading up to the debate, a story had broken regarding Gingrich. According to it, he'd offered his wife the choice of an open marriage or a divorce when she'd discovered he'd been cheating. The moderator for the debate decided that that would be a good topic to open the the debate with.

Not only did Gingrich wipe the floor with the question, he used it to wipe the floor with the moderator as well as the media in general, and really put down the whole topic, rather than letting it fester. Embedded below, it should start at the right time. (8:30 approx).



My question though, is what it set up. As much as he slams the moderator, the question certainly ended up helping him, so in all actuality, he should be thanking them.

I enjoy skill; watching people do things skillfully, no matter what the topic. I posted a video a while back about a guy dancing to dubstep, because he was possibly the best dancer I've ever seen, and just watching someone operating at that level .... I'd never be able to reach it myself, but I can certainly appreciate it.
