Ha! Take that 9th grade Public Speaking teacher!
According to a study, doodling actually helps the brain to concentrate during boring times.
3 weeks into the semester I was reprimanded in front of the class for several minutes simply for doodling while I was taking notes. I was forbidden from doodling in that class again. So I closed my notebook and hardly took another note for the rest of the semester. I probably would have learned more if I had been able to doodle :)

Shouldn't there be more people on this?
Florida Today's live feed, The Flame Trench, just updated the progress of Shuttle Discovery being prepped for a night launch tonight. They just began fueling the tanks, and The Flame Trench's headline reads "KSC Crews Ready Discovery for Fueling" followed by a picture of a nerd at a cluttered desk with two laptops... surely there is more than one person fueling the shuttle!

Mc-9-1-1
If this article weren't from Florida Today, and the story wasn't out of Fort Pierce, I'd think it was an article from The Onion
FORT PIERCE — Told McDonald’s was out of Chicken McNuggets after paying for a 10-piece, a local woman called 9-1-1.Three times.
"This is an emergency, If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one,” Latreasa L. Goodman later told police. “This is an emergency."
The McNugget meltdown happened last week at a McDonald’s in the 600 block of North U.S. 1 and ended with Goodman, 27, getting a notice to appear on a misuse of 911 charge, according to a recently released police report.
Goodman told investigators she tried to get a refund for the 10-piece McNuggets, but the cashier told her all sales are final.
"I called 9-1-1 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," Goodman told police.
The cashier told police she offered Goodman, of the 2400 block of South 25th Street, a larger portion of food for the same price to make up for it, but said Goodman got “irate,” the report states.
Goodman reportedly yelled, "I don't want a McDouble and small fry," the cashier told investigators.
Dispatchers for 9-1-1 told police Goodman called the emergency number three times and on each occasion was told an officer was en route.
“Goodman maintained the attitude ‘this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency,’” the report states.
McNuggets, introduced to the McDonald’s national menu in 1983, are sold in more than 100 countries and, unlike the McDouble, are often dunked in barbecue or hot mustard sauce.
