The World’s Smallest Bowl of Ramen Noodles (that you can’t eat)
Posted on 29 May 2008
Along with an innumberable amount of college students, I’ve been known to enjoy a nice bowl of sodium-engorged instant noodles and conquered every flavor foil packet on this side of the Maruchan.
So, it comes as no surprise that the idea of Japanese scientists creating a microscropic Ramen noodle bowl would make my kidneys twitch. Or, maybe that’s just the Beef Flavor.

Phone Calls or Text Messaging?
Posted on 22 May 2008

Admittedly, I’m a text messaging anthusiast. It’s to the point and don’t have to have pretend to care about your Aunt Misha’s UTI.
Which do you prefer and why?
