Sophomoric Humor

Test your blog's readability at Juicy Studio

From the site:

Gunning Fog, Flesch Reading Ease, and Flesch-Kincaid are reading level algorithms that can be helpful in determining how readable your content is. Reading level algorithms only provide a rough guide, as they tend to reward short sentences made up of short words. Whilst they're rough guides, they can give a useful indication as to whether you've pitched your content at the right level for your intended audience.

According to the results, this blog is best understood by tenth graders and up and not very well at that.

Oh well. I was aspiring to sophomoric humor, so I got THAT goin' for me. The way I understand it, I'll just have to try harder to be easier to understand.

Friend's Flattery Fortune



My friends don't flatter me very often. My foes don't flatter me at all.

The latter think I have my nose in the air and the former think I have my head up my butt.

Stereograms

A fantastic set of 3-D Stereogram macros at Flickr.

From the site:

These can be viewed as is by slightly de-focusing your eyes and then cross them until an image appears in the middle and then relax your eyes to get a stable 3-D image. It's worth the trouble! But don't overdo it if you have difficulty- try again later.(headache warning)




I used to have several posters like these on my living room wall. My pop used to come over and stare at them, trying his darndest to see the effect. It was so funny when he finally got them to "come together".

"You darn near have to cross your eyes!" he exclaimed.

That's very near the case, but it's more like the instructions say to do: defocus your eyes. After dad figured out what to do, I bought him a large magazine with quite a few more stereograms.

Give it a try! There are 1200 to choose from!

odium

odium \OH-dee-uhm\ , noun:
1. Intense hatred or dislike; loathing; abhorrence.
2. The state or fact of being intensely hated as the result of some despicable action.
3. Disgrace or discredit attaching to something hated or repugnant.



I find the past and present political odium to be particularly odious.

A Complex Fortune

For a simple mind.



I'm a naturally simple character, nothing profound about it.
