| Only three more days until the Star Wars madness revisits us all yet again. I have to admit that I'm getting caught up in it myself. I've watched all four trailers way too many times, seen the music video, even bought the soundtrack already. But at least I'm not so bad that I'm already sitting out in front of a theater. In fact, I have no plans to see "Episode II: Attack of the Clones" until the crowds die down a bit? that could mean waiting for the DVD. Nonetheless, looking at the Star Wars buzz from the relative outside is fun. For example, the closest theaters to my house are playing "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" a ludicrous 42 times in 61 hours (source: movietickets.com). If I calculated this out right, that's nearly 4 days worth of the 2 hour, 12 minute "Episode II" crammed within 2 1/2 days just at one cineplex. Well, enough about Star Wars; I'm sure LucasFilm doesn't need my help promoting it. ----- Mr. Cikoch was a biology instructor at a snobby suburban girl's junior college. During class one day he asked his student, "Miss Simison, would you please name the organ of the human body, which under the appropriate conditions, expands to six times its normal size, and define the conditions." Miss Simison gasped, and then said, "Mr. Cikoch, I don't think that is a proper question to ask me. I assure you my parents will hear of this. "With that she sat down red-faced. Mr. Cikoch then called on Miss Hakar and asked the same question. Miss Hakar, with composure, replied, "The pupil of the eye, in dim light." "Correct," said Mr. Cikoch. "And now, Miss Simison, I have three things to say to you. One, you have not studied your lesson. Two, you have a dirty mind. And three, you will some day be faced with a dreadful disappointment." |
