Expensive Hair

DALLAS - A hair lock snipped from Ernesto “Che” Guevara before his burial in 1967 sold for $100,000 at auction Thursday to a Houston-area bookstore owner who called the Marxist “one of the greatest revolutionaries of the 20th century.” -from msn.com

Wow, I'm glad I live in a world where people have 100 grand to blow on a 40 year old lock of hair. Seriously, that is more than I make in 2 years. And the article even went on to say that it might not even be Che's hair. 100 grand for a lock of hair that may or may not belong to a famous person. How many Somalian children could have eaten off that money in a year? I went to the birthplace of Karl Marx a few years back. Guess what I did. I snapped a picture.
The whole idea of auctions like this grate on my sense of financial pragmatism.

Fun Game

Here is a really fun game to play when you are hating work. Go to adultswim.com and play 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself). Like the title says, you have 5 minutes to kill yourself using only things found in your office. My best time so far is 3:21.

Creative vegetabling

So the boss leaves a box of decorations out and asks the night shift to decorate the office. Nobody here wanted to do it because they are all mad at him. I figured this might be my only chance to do something creative at work so I jumped on it.

There were a ton of these fake vegetables. I don't know what normal people do with fake vegetables, but I made everyone a Computer Buddy. Mine is a Vegetable Monster. I also made a witch, a ghost (covered in whiteout), and a werewolf.

I also made a display for my bosses door that involves a squash and two acorns. I wonder if he'll find all this as funny as I do.
