So, I've decided to "slowly" impart some of my random knowledge onto all of you in the RIA.  If your not a member of the RIA, please disreguard this topic. Also, I will OCCASIONALLY update this when I remember something from the VAST RESERVOIR that is MY MIND.


So, lets start with 2 "interesting" facts:

1.  Did you know, Bananas are radioactive?  A Banana Equivalent Dose, is a nonstandard measurement of radiation.  Specifically, the amount of radiation that someone receives in the process of eating 1 banana.  The reason for this radioactivity, is the Potassium in the Banana, which is a naturally (slightly) radioactive element.

The amount of radiation is so low, that you are much more likely to die of Potassium Poisoning, than suffer any effects of radiation sickness from eating bananas.  However, Bananas trucks fairly regularly set off Radiation Detectors at border checkpoints.

2.  One of the main reasons the revolution was successful, was tactics taught to the Colonial military by a Gay Prussian Military man, posing as a Baron to borrow money from the french (after fleeing from Germany because they wanted to prosecute him), who then pawned him off on Benjamin Franklin (instead of loaning him money), claiming he was a Prussian General. 

His name, was Baron von Steuben, A.K.A. NOT BARON Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand von Steuben.  His father fabricated the Baron title and claim.  He's credited with pretty much single handedly training the revolutionary armies to "Not die" and fight the british.  This was after Washington ran off with 12,000 men in a not-so-glorious retreat from the British who were spanking the rest of revolutionaries.

After the winter, when most of them either died from freezing, disease, starvation, or general buffoonery, Von Steuben arrived, and turned the remaining 4,000 into super revolutionary badasses by teaching them how to fight and do something other than "Fire one shot and run".  His biggest contribution?  The Bayonet.  Prior to his instruction, the primary use of the Bayonet was a cooking Skewer.  After his instruction, the Americans promptly attacked WITH UNLOADED WEAPONS and won a decisive battle (losing only 15 Americans, killing 20 British, and taking over 700 prisoners due to their sheer badassness).

Pretty much DePaul university is what killed it :V

Now, RIA, Your starting to get older, and you might notice some "changes" soon.  Nothing major, just some new hair in strange places and potentially confusing feelings that you might have towards the other alliances.  It's nothing to be afraid of, everyone goes through them when they start to get your age.  You might not pay any attention to one alliance one day, then BAM the next day, you can't get your mind off of them.  Now, no one can really say what type of alliance is "right" for you, and even if you decide that you might not like maroon alliances exclusively, we will still love you.  Just make sure that when the time comes, your both ready, and use adequate protection.

I'm here if you have questions or need me.



They grow up so fast...

Seriously.  I never gave any attention to regular show at first because of it's incredibly stupid looking commercials.  However, after watching an episode I was instantly hooked forever.  Maybe it's because of all the 80s/90s references I remember growing up with, or maybe it's the fact that they use awesome older music to great effect.  Like so:

The Mississippi Queen

Regular Show- Pops Singing "Footloose" (Karaoke Video)

Regular Show: Ballroom Blitz

Regular Show - Working For The Weekend

Seriously.  Add to it, that Mark Hamill does many of the voices, and you've got a show you NEED to watch.

Kitchen Nightmares - Amy's Baking Company (Full Version)

One word:  Extremis.

I made it past the first round of selection for Interns.  My main question now, is do I use this opportunity to further my career, or kill Michael Bay?

Probably gonna bite the bullet and go with furthering my career...

Many of you know, but I'm a huge Tesla Geek, and this came out awhile ago, but I've been busy, so here it is now:

Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison. Epic Rap Battles of History Season 2.

And normally I wouldn't do this, but if anyone wants to donate to my campaign, it would be a great birthday present
