Football, Halo, and Assorted violence

Hey,

Today I learned four things:

1.) The world can sometimes be a violent place - Today, I visited an 08 Abboteer, if that is the way to say it, at duke. From the moment I entered the door I was bombarded by violence. First it was the game that he played: described by this exonian as The legend of zelda on a killing spree, darkspace, or doomsday, or the adventures of dark-chilling-gory-slice-and-dice superhero demon guy in a post apocalyptic world, or whatever it was called, proved this point right away. Soon after watching this wonderful game, we played halo. I got to be a big ol human blasting away the little imp aliens with a brute shot (even if you don't know what it is, it sounds painful right?). Afterwards, I watched 22 guys ram into each other on a 100 yard strip of land. I'm not complaining. I was quite entertained by all of it, especially the Stanford/USC game, in which Stanford won. It was amazing, they were down 1 point with a minute left, and they efficiently marched down the field to win. But that's besides the point; the world can be a violent place, and sometimes I enjoy it, but really dude? You have to wonder what was going through this guys head. I think he wins a bigger award than what gawker is giving him (by the way click this guy on gawkers page for the story):

2.)Miami was not a violent place today - Miami's football team best demonstrated this point. The whole game Florida State University's offense ran through them. I think they did a better job cheering the team on then FSU's cheerleaders. I lost count of how many interceptions Miami threw. What's worse was that it was the big homecoming rivalry at Miami. The only thing that made up for it was the fact that I didn't really care who won. I also had an avid Miami fan who I could poke fun at while we watch Miami usher FSU to the end zone.

3.) Hot pots are not just Korean, its an Asian thing - It's also noteworthy to mention that eating cabbage that has soaked in a pound of chili pepper is not the best way to preserve your palate or the stability of your bowels.

4.) If your name has a lot of a's, h's, ah sounds, or is Mohammed, you may want to check under your car - This is all in jest of course, but in all seriousness, it seems as if I am not the only one in my friend circle who noticed this: people who look like they're muslim or from the middle east always get a "random" search at the airport. But this time the power's that be went a little further.
