fuckyeahthebeatles: So I’m the grading assistant for a class...

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:47:12 -0800

So I’m the grading assistant for a class about the Beatles at Indiana University.

A guy came into our class on Tuesday and told us he had an original George Harrison guitar. We thought that was amazing…until he actually walked it down from the front of the room.

So, dude was Jim Irsay, owner of the Colts. Yeah, that guy. The guy who also owns the original scroll that “On the Road” was written on.

Anyway, his daughter is in our class, thus why he brought in the guitar.

BUT! I originally thought it was just used for the “Paperback Writer”/”Rain” sessions (you can see it in the promo videos)…well, I found out that this very guitar was also used throughout Revolver sessions, again in the “Hey Bulldog” sessions, and throughout the White Album.

This means John Lennon also played it.

I might die.

in-nz:

Last night I went to a local pub to participate in a charity quiz night for my host’s son’s Scout group. I thought, hell, let’s celebrate. So I ordered drinks and food and was really just throwing my money around like I was possibly balling. Right after I go to pay my $50nz bill, they announce the winner of the raffle I forgot I had bought a ticket for. The prize? $50nz. The winner? Me.

Heck yeah free night out.

And then I slept in.

And now I’m going to go plant grape plants.

And then I’m going to eat an apple with peanut butter.

I hope you know how vicariously I’m living through you right now.

merlin:

A propos of nothing, my own favorite first line is a dead tie.

Yeah, sure, Absalom, Absalom! is there. But, Bill’s sprawling opener runs neck-and-neck with a crowd favorite and the model of the hook, One Hundred Years of Solitude:

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

Truly, magic.

And for as amazing the first line is, it only gets better from there.

Toyota Develops New Flower Species

Toyota Develops New Flower Species:

yewknee:

kateoplis:

Toyota has created a new plant species designed to offset the CO2 created by its Prius assembly operations in Toyota City, Japan. The flowers are derivatives of the cherry sage plant and the gardenia. The sage leaves have unique characteristics that absorb harmful gases, while the gardenia leaves create water vapor in the air, reducing the surface temperature of the factory and therefore, reducing the energy needed for cooling, in turn producing less carbon dioxide.

that is insane.

WHAT. WHAT!
