I sure hope so.

Razors in Muffin Give NYU Student a Close Shave

"About halfway through, I bit in and felt something hard and crunchy." That’s what NYU senior Benjamin Jarosch declared after eating part of a found muffin, and he wasn’t talking about a walnut: his innocuous-looking blueberry muffin was stuffed with three razorblades. Jarosch and his buddies had discovered the muffin, along with four others, wrapped in tin foil, upon arriving in the classroom.

It seems they were left over from a previous class and were "props" used by a student to demonstrate "ideas of absurdism and randomness." Professor Heidi White forgot to discard the muffins when class was dismissed, and the professor for the next class knew nothing about the muffin's sharp surprise.

Jarosch’s muffin was the only one with razorblades, and despite eating half of it before noticing anything unusual, he survived uninjured. “I spit them out before they cut. It could have been a lot worse, there's no doubt about it," Jarosch told the Sun.

He found a muffin and just started eating it? What do you expect?

I feel like it's the night before Christmas but Casey's family exchanges their good presents early, just to taunt me via Xbox live

I was trying to download a file with a program called Transmit. The error it gives me is “Couldn’t get remote handle.”

It’s actually trying to tell me, “You don’t have permission to download this file.”

I thought this was a particularly bad message.

Ted and Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It’s about time that Peter and I had our own wikipedia entry.

I just broke (on accident) my #1 rule of NYC. Never ever walk out the door without headphones. Feeling the burn now.

Time lapse of a gorgeous Chad Pugh illustration from start...

This drawing could not be more correct. Somedays the blogosphere is just a live feed of what goes on with people associated with connected ventures. But, there is not a man more deserving of the attention than the big Pugh.

I'm glad the Cubs have had the past 4 or 5 days off... despite playing every day. (zing!)

Everyone! Check out this kick ass interface!
