Test Tube 52

One of these days I'm going to mend my relationship with Santa Clause. I never stopped believing, I just stopped sending cookies.

Collapsing

I found a collapsible, accordian ruler at work a few days ago. The brand is FOLDRite, and basically, with each inch, there is a hinge. When folded it up, it looks like a small stack of 12 tiles. But when expanded, it looks like a completely legit ruler! Amazing!!
I started to think - this is a market I need to get into. Making more space for us hoarding humans with objects that normally don't collapse. How about a collapsing chair!? It's brilliant, the space you would save. You could put it on your lawn, maybe take it camping; i don't know, i'm just brainstorming...

Ads

I've just added AdSense by Google to this blog, which takes information from the blog and creates ads pertaining to that information in order to sell you stuff. Because this blog has absolutely no point, I'm interested to see what kind of ads come up on this page. In fact, I am going to list off some words that will hopefully create some outrageous ads: superman sloth; beans; Earvin "Magic" Johnson; nose hair clippers; Police Academy 1 through 7; back rub; old mattresses.
If you happen to see a strange or completely irrelevant ad on this page, leave a comment with your findings.
If you happen to find an ad for a Magic Johnson back rub, send me the website.

One day, I saw an ostrich eat a worm. It then regurgitated a beautiful butterfly.

Welcome

I have decided to do a blog and dedicate it to the many deep thoughts that run through the minds of myself and friends. This should be an open, creative environment, so if you feel inclined to pour out your questions/thoughts, feel free to do so. I don't judge. But the millions of people that view this blog daily, will... (current view count: 0 )
I also have no problem wiping the haters off. That's until I find that all viewers seem to be haters, at which point I will take a hint and stop blogging.

Test Tube 17
This blog's title has been inspired by a question that Mr. Peeples posed in my Sophomore Biology class in 2000 (post Y2K) after a science experiment: "Who has test tube 17?" After looking across the room to my friend Chris and establishing together that Test Tube 17 could be the greatest band name ever, I thought to myself "Who does have Test Tube 17??" The answer is: we'll never know... Either that, or the group in the back that failed the last two labs.
It's been 8 years since Mr. Peeples so sternly and eloquently asked that question, and I'm still captured by its mystery. That is why this blog is dedicated to Test Tube 17. Because sometimes questions don't need to be answered; they answer themselves through the sheer courage of asking a question. Or the fact that answering a question is like asking a courageous question without answering a question answered. I trust you are still with me.
In any event, this blog will hopefully be updated frequently, with a deep thought/question of the day/week/month. Beyond that, it may become an outlet for other things going on in my life and others.
I hope this becomes a regular stop for you in your daily website visits.
