All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have on occasion eaten Cheetos with chopsticks to avoid getting my fingers messy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My old roommate used to eat everything with chopsticks, after having spent some time in Japan in high school. Pancakes with chopsticks was my favorite.

It has come to my attention that several of the Oscar movies are on my cable on demand movie thingy. Now playing: The Constant Gardner.
The plan is to watch at least half of it tonight and finish it off in the morning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What does "adjusted for IQ" mean? That having a high IQ means you're supposed to earn more money, and if you chose not to, then that's bad?
It sounds like they mean in a statistical sense, which would involve them regressing incomes against IQ in some kind of survey deal. Of course it's on average, and will remain so until Jessica Simpson is housed in a dumpster. So the statement says that scientists, on average, are the furthest below the average income that would be expected given their IQs and working incomes. Frankly, I think if they are the lowest of all, that sounds pretty bad to me. I'd regard it as a characteristic of the job, though, not the scientist. Who I'm hoping is good enough at maths to make an informed decision on such matters.

Yeah, that article seemed...odd.
Today, you can't spit in the street without hitting a millionaire and oftentimes it is simple wages that got him or her to that point.
I mean, what?
And then the out-of-nowhere reference to Goethe. Weird.

Yeah, I don't know that I buy a lot of what that guy was saying -- people suddenly discover at 44 they'll never make tenure and head off to be high school teachers? -- but it was interesting at least.

I find this statement extremely dubious. I suspect it is the rare specimen indeed that got to be a millionaire on simple wages alone.
