Missives from the teacher

President Nemenzo has already declared a suspension of classes beginning 1pm today due to the expected monster traffic jams that'll accompany the SONA.

For Eng10 people, please read "How to Lie with Statistics."

For Eng1 people, read and analyze Conrado de Quiros' "Quiapo." You need not type out the homework. Just jot it down so you know what's up when we discuss it in class.

For CW10 people, I will leave a new set of handouts for you.

Classes resume tomorrow and on Thursday. Check your emails for additional instruction. Thanks.

Here's some photos of office supply boxes with inconspicuous Tyler Durden tags.  

Pretty nifty ei? If you still don't know who Tyler Durden is, well, go google it while you can.

• Remember When You Lit up My Life? That Was Great
• I Will Now Pass the Dutchie Back to You and Thank You for Passing It to Me Originally Because I Really Enjoyed the Dutchie
• Achier Breakier Heart

Now from boingboing comes more follow ups:

It seems like there are plans to put together a musical version of Fight Club. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails will do the music*. Author Chuck Palahniuk sort of confirmed this at a talk he made, thus adding to a forthcoming ChuckP blitzkrieg since Choke, Invisible Monsters and Survivor are all going to be turned into movies. Maybe one day we'll even see a Fight Club on Ice, who knows?

For more ChuckP goodness, visit The Cult.

The Onion AV Club features an interview with Mike Judge. If you still don't know who he is after this, I don't know what to do with you anymore.

This is a late post, but no matter: June 28 is the 90th Anniversary of the terrorist assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand which touched off the First World War.

Just thought you might want to know. Found this via mefi.

The Morning News has some tongue in cheek advice on how to write the next DaVinci Code:

—If only you knew the problems farting has caused me.

—Ivan Sergei Shushmayovich was poor, very poor indeed, but every day he stood hopefully outside the little rich girl’s house, a much-chewed pencil in one hand, a rusted mutton cleaver in the other.

—Taking a bite of her sandwich, Rebecca de Cache wasn’t sure if the luncheon meat was ham, so she asked her husband, “Dear, is this ham or just something which tastes like ham?”

—I never minded the bulimia or the stealing or even the way she disappeared for days on end with strangers from the art museum, but it was the little herb garden in the window box that finally drove me over the edge.


—The plan was perfect, but we were not.
