I read something (I forget) about the process of discovering evidence that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating instead of slowing down. I'm currently reading a book by Brian Greene which is on string theory but has to cover lots of quantum mechanical and cosmological stuff to get there. There was another book I read recently but I don't remember what it was. I didn't think it was very good though.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nilly, I don't know if your Google showed this, but there's a long (in internet time) tradition of subjecting Peeps to horribly cruel experiments. As well as sending them on adventures.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there a marshmallow product that is more fun than Peeps? I think not.
I have decided to give notice at my hated job on Thursday. YAY! Do I still have to give two weeks for a lame part-time job, where I think he already has my replacement lined up? (I think he thought he could have two students, found a second one, and then found out he could only have one.)

Nope, it didn't. I did the simplest image search, just to now what you were talking about. Of course, they seem very proper for such a tradition, in those images, so I can easily understand where it came from (or was there another, more specific, source?).
I'm currently reading a book by Brian Greene which is on string theory but has to cover lots of quantum mechanical and cosmological stuff to get there.
Oh, I know practically nothing about these subjects. Did you like the book?
[Edited to YAY Jesse!
Also, if they don't really need the two students, isn't it possible to arrange something with the boss regarding the two-weeks? It wouldn't be like you're leaving them in the middle of needing you, right?]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

YAY!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You should still give them two weeks, but I don't see anything wrong with coming to a mutually-agreeable agreement once you've done so.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I'm remembering, you never have to give two week's notice. It's just polite. How hated is hated?

Yay!! Of course, I came to that decision when I should have been going to sleep last night, so I stayed up too late, per usual.
For Nilly: Peep jousting.

I think Laser Exposure Endurance was my favorite.
