Jokes You Can Tell in Class

A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy 2 servings per night, and a few more on weekends, I consume about 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals one pound of weight per week.

Therefore, in the last 3-1/2 years, I have had chocolate caloric intake of about 180 pounds, and I only weigh 165 pounds.

So ... without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about 3 months ago! I owe my life to chocolate!

Teachers Say That Google Is #3?

We just wanted to let you know about our latest experiment. It seems the entire English-speaking planet is brain washed into thinking only about one search engine when they are searching for relevant material on the Internet. We haven't even questioned this in years. We all make this assumption without having data to prove it.

A teacher recently shared her school district's story about the lack of good content they were finding with Google. She challenged us to put all the search engines to the test. We decided to run a field test of the 5 most recommended search engines. Ask, Bing, Blekko, Dogpile, and Google went head to head to see which engine can find the best information; the quickest.

See the experiment results here. The quick verdict:
1) Dogpile 2) Bing 3) Google 4) Blekko 5) Ask
