      Sock

      February 6th, 2007 by mike d. in family, Humor

      currently eating: cereal

      It’s hilarious opening a package from your sister and finding a sock.

      My family regularly recycles envelopes and cards. It\'s handy

      It’s even more hilarious when you realize it isn’t your sock.

      Greek & Roman Gods

      February 6th, 2007 by mike d. in Features

      Oh sweet gradients, how I love thee

      Recently while Jesse and I were working on cleaning up the house a bit we started quizzing each other on lower level academics. Things like (answers at end of post):

      Can you name the Organization of living organisms? *1

      What are the three main types of column arcitecture? *2

      Name the three general types of clouds? *3

      Then came the question: can you name 5 roman gods and their Greek counterparts?

      So let’s give it a shot. I’m going to give you a few of the Greek or Roman god, you give me the counterpart.
      (Highlight the text to see the answer.)


      Greek ……Roman

      Zues ………Jupiter

      Hera … …. Juno

      Poseidon …Neptune

      Athena…….Minerva

      Ares ………Mars

      Apollo …….Apollo

      Hermes …. Mercury

      Eros ……… Cupid

      Hades …… Pluto

      Dionysis … Bacchus

      Aphrodite…Venus

      Bonus points if you can successfully identify what the god is a god of without looking it up.

      *1: Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
      *2: Doric, Ionic, Corinthian
      *3: Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus

      finished work at 2:30am. Gotta be up at 5am.
      business trips can be unhealthy for the mind and body.
