Construction workers unearth hidden Red Sox jersey at new Yankees stadium
I thought this was an utterly hilarious story. Construction workers at the new Yankee Stadium unearthed a buried Boston Red Sox jersey with David Ortiz’s name on it. Apparently another construction worker, who was a Red Sox fan, had buried it within two feet of concrete while on the job in the hopes of jinxing the Yanks. The Yanks plan on donating the jersey to charity while also pursuing a lawsuit against the worker. Hilarious..
Drunk Jays Fans Guide to the Wave
Ever wonder when it’s appropriate to try and start a wave at a baseball game? (Never wanted to? GOOD!). Well here’s “The Drunk Jays Fans Guide to the Wave“. It’s a hilarious read folks.. just great. I for one can’t stand the wave but yes.. when it’s going, you might as well join in and hope and pray some section in the crowd will simply ignore and kill the wave. Just don’t perform the wave at a critical point in the game folks!
Thanks to Kevin for the linky.
Conan O’Brien’s Graduation Commencement Speech to the Stuyvesant High School Class of 2006
File this under the “I wish I was there” category. I didn’t realize this until today but Conan O’Brien gave the Stuyvesant High School Graduation Commencement speech back in 2006 and man - it was awesome!
A transcript of the speech can be found here.
This makes me wonder.. who spoke at my HS graduation commencement? I can’t recall.. but I think it was some sort of politician.. I’m just not sure - certainly not someone as notable as Conan O’Brien!
Empirical Modeling meets Sudoku
Here’s a fun variation on the game of Sudoku. It’s called Colour Sudoku and it’s based off of work on Empirical Modeling. Enjoy the game!
Cloverfield made me hurl :(
A little warning to those of you out there planning to watch Cloverfield. If you easily get motion sickness or you vertigo, then you might want to wait till the movie comes out on video. If you threw up watching the Blair Witch Project, then you’ll more than likely also get sick while watching Cloverfield. I unfortunately hurled about 45 minutes into the shaky cam movie. Although I appreciate the artistic nature of shooting the movie from the viewpoint of a pedestrian holding a video camera, I just could not keep up with the constant motion.
I’ll wait till the movie comes out on video before I attempt to watch it again..
