Answers to life mysteries

Sometimes I wonder why we haven't found a cure for cancer yet. Or why world peace is so hard to achieve. Or where Osama bin Laden is. I'm pretty convinced that if humans put their minds to it, and I mean really put their minds to it, the answers to life mysteries are within reach. So why haven't we found the answers??? What's the delay? I think I know.

Take three Ivy League educated people on a Saturday afternoon. Collectively, they each have at least a reasonable amount of information in their respective fields. Want to know what accounts for an antelope's speed, despite having organs similarly structured to humans? Mike knows. Want to know why the rumored acquisition of Yahoo! by Microsoft won't necessarily run up the stock? Ask Joe. Want to discuss the Fourth Amendment's impact on electronic evidence? Talk to Dina.

But no, on this Saturday afternoon, there will no such discussions. There will be DDR. For the novice, that is Dance Dance Revolution.



Sorry world peace. You'll have to wait. They're too busy trying to clear "Rock Lobster."

Joe & Dina,

TicTac is a very smart little fellow and good looking enough to be in the movies!

I don't know which is worse, that you admit to playing Dance Dance Revolution, or that you actually took photos of yourselves playing it.

That being said . . . when can I come over to give it a try? :-)
