Oh man, the Rubik's cube...
I work with a lot of interesting people, many of whom have interesting life stories.

Turns out one of my bosses was the 1983 Rubiks cube world champion who solved the cube in 23 seconds. It was just so crazy that I work with him every day and didn't know until someone posted the video.

The electoral vote (state by state) is how Presidential elections are decided in this country. So, a candidate may receive more votes from those voting, but lose because of the electoral college. It happened with Al Gore. It's an antiquated system and should be abolished.

	When life hands you lemons, make grape juice then sit back and watch as the world wonders how you did it. Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ‘til tomorrow For babies grow up we've learnt to our sorrow, So quiet down cobwebs Dust go to sleep I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep
