The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.

At age 1 my family decided to get me a cat. He was a lazy, crazy, home work eating cat. I grew up my hole life with this spastic cat. Today is the year anniversary of his death.

I actually have the entire house to myself tonight...it makes me shudder to tell you that my S.O. is on a bus right now on his way to Washington D.C.
