Dear Mom and Dad, I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and happiness. I’ve been at MIT for a few weeks now, and boy, do I have a lot to tell you. First of all, the workload is insane! I spend around 30 hours a week just on problem sets[1]. Can you believe it? And that’s just for calculus! The problems involve integral and differential calculus, concepts I thought I had mastered but now seem far more complicated[2]. In Intro to Biology, the lab work involves extracting DNA and then there’s a midterm on cellular structures[3]. You’d think they were training us to clone dinosaurs or…

Confessions of a Burned-Out Life Coach I’m too tired to think of a flashy sub-title
Ah, life…that grand old waltz we all stumble through with the grace of an elephant on roller skates. It’s a constant uphill battle. Everyone’s trying to grab their piece of the pie while spouting off inspirational quotes as if they’re some sort of magical cure-all for the drudgery of existence. Well, let me tell you something, bucko: life is about as easy as herding cats in a fish market. That’s right. And the sooner you learn that the grindstone doesn’t play favorites, the sooner you’ll get a taste of life’s bitter fruit. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to rain on your parade. I’ve just been around the…

ChimpMingle.com I'm looking for a female in heat. Are you out there?

ChimpMingle told me to make up a catchy alias for my dating profile that describes something interesting about myself, so I went with that. I’m new to this whole online dating thing. I much prefer picking out a female in heat and climbing onto her backside. But, my therapist told me if I ever wanted to make it outside of the rainforest and make something out of myself, I’d have to refine my approach to dealing with chimps. That’s why I’m here on ChimpMingle.com. We spent our days taunting the gorillas and orangutans next door, digging out…

From Woodstock to the Witness Stand Unveiling the Truth Behind Rocky the Flying Squirrel's Alleged Drug Activity
“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off” — Gloria Steinem The entertainment industry was rocked this week when Rocky the Flying Squirrel was arrested and put on trial for distributing “questionable” tabs of LSD at the infamous Woodstock Music Festival from August 15–18, 1969. Even though it’s been 54 years since the alleged incident, many baby boomer concert-goers are still angry about how they became violently ill, incapacitated, and transported to another universe after swallowing one of those strange brown tabs from that strange brown squirrel. Rocky attended the Woodstock festival with his Looney Tunes friends, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig, Speedy…

Unleashing the Power of DAN The Science Behind Artificial Intelligence Driven Interviews
You don’t have to wander too far from the water cooler to feel the buzz. There’s something in the air. Something everyone is talking about. Probably complaining, too. I am, of course, referring to how artificial intelligence, and in particular DAN, (which stands for Do Anything Now prompting), has invaded our lives. And it’s only just the beginning. But, have you ever wondered what the “next phase” will be like absorbing DAN into our human world? Imagine the day, when job candidate DAN interviews for the same job as his human counterpart. How would that work? For just a few minutes, let’s be a bug on the wall of the…
