I get those little snippits of headlines from news feeders. Every so often, they’re not too good at snipping, and I’m not too good at focusing. So, occasionally I get things kinda screwed up. Today was a perfect example. I saw this:

This is one of those posts about things that probably don’t mean anything. I recently started taking eye drops for too much pressure in my eyes. Worst case scenario, I have mild glaucoma.

My local paper ran a story about meth being on the rise again. That part of the story didn’t surprise me or anything. However, they ran a graph that really had nothing to do with the rest of the story that I did find interesting:

A friend sent me this via email:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of [...]
