Tweeting and Time Travel

We're on break - so no school stuff for 2 more days...right?

Just wondering how many of you tweet...if you're confused, look it up.

Also, I found this handy flier you should always carry with you...just in case you find yourself in the past. Even though I believe traveling back in time is completely IMPOSSIBLE, it is a great story device - when used correctly. Check it out and actually read it - you will at least learn something. To learn more about time travel in general, look around.

Lastly, we are nearing the time when tv programs are either renewed or canceled for next fall. We all have favorite shows "on the bubble" (Kings, Terminator, Life) but sometimes cancellation is a blessing. If you have time to laugh and cry at the same time watch the clip below, knowing Supertrain did not make the cut in 1979. Imagine traveling back in time to that era, having to live life in that show? Yikes.

Cheating and Plagiarism are UNcool

Since these are technically from the same author, it is OK. But you should know that I believe this to he a GREAT visual example of plagiarism...but its from the same studio...imagine if it had been a Pixar-to-Dreamworks (or vice-versa) version. Either way, it's shocking...and sad.
