I am an Honours Student

Am I a bad person for finding this line about Cleopatra's geneology funny? "The high degree of inbreeding among the Ptolemies can be seen from the ancestry of Cleopatra VII. As the Ahnentafel below shows, she only had four great grandparents and six (out of a possible sixteen) great-great-grandparents (furthermore, four of those six were descended from the other two)."

"(S)ix great-great-grandparents" "four of those six were descended from the other two."

That is far, far too hilarious. (Source, Wikipedia)



This is going to be another weak post, but it's something I brushed over before, but now want to brag about.

I am now undertaking my Honours in Sociology. My application was accepted, and I am currently mid-way through the enrolment process.

Ho. Lee. Crap.

I'm over the "Excessive swearing as an outlet of how awesome I think this is" stage, and right smack into the "Nahh, this isn't really happening" stage.

The thing is, I received this a day or two after I realised my other two options I'd attempted (a screenwriting post-grad degree at AFTRS, and a stageplay writing competition) had both failed. A few months ago, thinking "It's all good, I've tried three things, one of them will pay off at least. Hell, I may have to decide between them." Then when two of them have failed, and you're left with just one left... Holy crapballs that is stressful. And then for it to pay off. It's better then sex (well, not really, but it's damn good).


And now, I need to earn the title Nerd with something nerdy in this post. I have stated in the past my desire to own a Stormtrooper outfit. I doubt this will happen until I have enough money that casually throwing away several thousand dollars is no big deal. However, I have come to the conclusion that, should I buy a costume, I'll be limited to Darth Vader, because of my size. Damn being 6'3 (approx).

Hmm... maybe not. I just checked the ever-so-helpful Google (a little TOO helpful, if you ask me. Google is a conspiracy I tells ya! A conspiracy!) and I've been informed the normal Stormtrooper height is 1.8 meters. I fit into that.


Oh, and also, I came across a hilarious arguement on the internet while searching Star Wars costumes, that I MUST share. The internet has alot of stupid arguements, but this one takes the cake, headbutts it and wonders why the birthday boy is crying before being escorted off the premises for ruining the party for everyone. http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopic.php?id=2152&p=1

Who would win in a fight between HK-47 (An Extended Universe Star Wars character, basically an amusing psychopathic Assassination droid who somehow manages to be awesome) Vs Master Chief (Halo main character). I mean, even by internet standards this is a pretty stupid question to ask.

We all know HK-47 would kick Master Chief's ace.
