TU Makes the WSJ!

Not to be outdone by the numerous mentions Wheaton, dear old Wheaton, has received within the hallowed pages of the WSJ, our very own Taylor U made an appearance today. Of course, it was on the subject of the liberalization of divorce amongst evangelicals today, and specifically noted the change of conservative heart one professor, a Mr. William Heath, has had recently; but, never mind all that, at least they didn't put a Catholic historian out on the street...

Man changes name

I just read about a man who changed his name. Listen to his video and learn what he changed it to.

Happy Easter!

(If you don't know what a badonk-a-donk is you need to listen to more country music)

Faith and Reason

I always find these sorts of articles refreshing and uplifting.


ROCKVILLE, Maryland (CNN) -- I am a scientist and a believer, and I find no conflict between those world views.
As the director of the Human Genome Project, I have led a consortium of scientists to read out the 3.1 billion letters of the human genome, our own DNA instruction book. As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God's language, and the elegance and complexity of our own bodies and the rest of nature as a reflection of God's plan.

Reason #28 to never swim in the Congo river...

I think that is probably WAY worse than the parasites that swim up your urethra when you take a leak while standing in the water...

funny story...

I have to tell you all an awkward moment I had in my interview with Dr. Robinson, the director of HNGR. A little background on him--this was the prof our own Matt got into a debate with over whether you could be a Christian and a Republican. I think Dr. Robinson still doesn't think so. This is how it went:

Dr. Robinson: What else are you passionate about?
Elise: Well, my family is VERY political--we are constantly debating and throwing ideas at eachother, and so I grew up with a love for politics.
Dr. Robinson: (winks and says facetiously) Oh, and I bet your family are hard-core Republicans!
Elise: (silence) Um. Well. Um. Uh...
Dr. Robinson: (continues to laugh, not noticing Elise stumbling for how to keep from him that her family post pictures of Hillary making scary faces and call his favorite candidate Osama-Obama) I bet they're big Bushies at the Bryson household!
Elise: (recovers and smiles knowingly) Uh huh, they sure are...

So I didn't lie. But. Should I get into HNGR I'm sure at least at least dad will eventually meet him, and I'd appreciate it if you weren't wearing a Bush pin or anything...

Love you all.

Words fail me...

The Hill-da-beast lives

wow.

thats all i can say.


wow.

Is my face bovvered?

The old dog learned a new trick today. I'd never heard the term "boverred" before. Tracing its origins led me to Catherine Tate, a British actress and comedianette, and eventually to this clip she did with Tony Blair. He does a great job, too - at the :58 mark on the clip is simply hilarious.
Anyway, if you can help me understand bovvered a bit more, I'd appreciate it. In the meantime, I ain't bovvered!

Announcement

Well, we had to wait for the doctor's report before we could spill the beans...

Jannell and I are very excited to announce to you all that we will be having a baby!!


We dont know the exact due date yet, but it will be sometime in November. Needless to say, this will mean a lot of changes in all of our lives, so bear with us!
