Yes, I finally got time to do one! Finally! 
Well, enjoy!

Typo #3

Seriously? The Commercial Appeal spelling "winners" incorrectly? That's just... Oh, never mind!

(This one's not as funny as the other ones, just a little surprising. Well GM feels society already has collapsed, based on our use of language... )

Pirouline Packaging

My dad recently got a little tin of Pirouline cookies from some Secret Santa thing.

Yeah these things.

Anyway, as I ate one, I read the stuff on the packaging. (I read the packaging of just about everything I eat. The reason? I don't know... Maybe to check for funny typos or make sure the food isn't 90% genetically engineered or something?)

The first thing I noticed was the stuff written around the lid.
Now, I didn't notice any weirdness the first time I read it, but later, I was shocked by the sentence's technical "unclarity."
"Enjoy as a snack with coffee, tea, ice cream, after dinner drinks, family and friends."
See how the first four things listed and highlighted blue are food items? The other ones, in red, are probably humans, or at least living things.

If we omit the red part, we get "Enjoy as a snack with coffee, tea, ice cream, after dinner drinks." which means to eat them simultaneously or one after the other. For example, if I do as the lid suggests, I might take a bite of the Pirouline and then sip some tea, or I might put it on my ice cream and eat the ice cream and Pirouline at roughly the same time.
If we omit the blue part, we get "Enjoy as a snack with family and friends." which means, hopefully, to eat the Piroulines in the company of your family and friends.

You can't eat your friends and family or eat Piroulines in the company of a lot of food without looking insane. What a dilemma!

Second of all, there's a little icon on the side/back. There's a recycling symbol accompanied by the words "IT'S A CYLINDRICAL WORLD PLEASE RECYCLE." In case you didn't know, the world, at least the earth, is rather spherical. I'm thinking maybe since they call their Piroulines "cylindrical artisan rolled wafers" or something like that, they wanted to incorporate this idea into the "please recycle" statement.

Well, I'm off to eat another cylindrical artisan rolled wafer sealed with their signature swirl. I will let you guys know if I discover anything else interesting on the packaging.
(Any other interesting packaging tales are welcome down there in the comments.)

Knex House

What now? You now live it in?
He/she/it probably meant live "in it" which is still an interesting statement...

Should Alec Be An Author?

Alec hasn't posted anything for a long time.
This goes against the Why Not? authorship requirement of posting often.
   So, should Alec be removed from the Why Not team?
RF and I liked Alec's posts because he was so narcissistic and arrogant. That made the post funny.

But, Alec is very lazy. 90% of the time I am on the Internet, Alec is on too. However, he doesn't bother to post at all during that time.


Should Alec be an author? What do you think?



Also, I would have told you who won the Authorship contest, but N hacked into Wendy's account and locked everyone but himself out of it. Therefore, I could not read the contest entries, so if you want to be a part of the Why Not? team make sure N changes the password back.

Somewhat Update

First of all, a guy with a long last name who goes to our school claims to have followed.
We used to have 8 followers...
Now we have......

Still 8 as of 3:57 pm on 12/13/12
Maybe he is following by email instead? Eh

Also, there will be a 5555 contest as expected.
Oh, N returned as well.

Daisy vs Boo

To take a break from studying for exams, I decided to post animal pictures...

This is Daisy, proclaimed "cutest kitten in the world."

This is Boo, called "cutest dog in the world."

Because I Want To!

A post in which I disagree with some random stuff ... because I want to!




Or sleeping... Or dead... Most likely dead because, fun fact, to my knowledge, girls make breathing noises as they sleep.

Why???? ( A short post that is not a Short Post)

Look what I found.

WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL SO COMPELLED TO SPELL THINGS INCORRECTLY? ESPECIALLY WHEN THE INCORRECT SPELLING IS MUCH HARDER TO REMEMBER AND/OR TYPE!
(ALSO THIS ONE COMPLETELY HUMILIATES RELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN MY OPINION...)

Short Posts #2

One day, when I was at school, my classmates were talking about Doritos. I said in reply to something (I think it was "Everyone likes Doritos.") "I don't like Doritos."  My classmates looked at me as if I were insane. 

Whenever I bring up the fact that I do not like Doritos, my classmates all seem extremely shocked. 

This is a mystery to me because obviously there are people who don't like Doritos. 

Short Post #1

Because Lily requested it, I will write about band.

 Concert band percussion players suck. They like stealing my stuff, messing with it, and wasting the time the band could have spent practicing. So don't give them anything good. They don't deserve it.

  

Short Posts Introduction

  This is GM. I am starting a new series. It will be a lot of short posts since you are too lazy to read long ones.

Leave of Absence

I will be taking a temporary leave of absence from Why Not 2000.

I need to focus more on getting 100’s rather than writing posts that no one reads.

Reply to Statistics and Stuff I've Noticed- Part 1

After reading N's post quite a while ago, I thought, "What do our viewers really want to see?"
Currently we have these weekly-ish posts...

Musical Monday
Voki Wednesday
Ask Wendy
Technology These Days

In addition, we have posts about 

TTD posts get nearly no comments.
The Number Series which have been put on hiatus partly because they weren't that popular.
Voki Wednesdays have varying stats.
Musical Mondays used to be very popular when I took the time and effort to do the ones you've actually heard of with pictures and lyrics. Hmmm...
Ask Wendy has been rather popular as people struggle to figure out Wendy's identity, but that has died out.

Here are a few ideas we've had for weekly posts...

Furry Fridays by GM (You'll have to ask GM about those...)
Sucky Saturdays by Alec if he ever returns
or just random posts, nothing weekly if you really want it that way

What do you really want to see? Is there any topic we should write about? Anything we should get rid of? Anything to add?
---

Now, what I've noticed...
Well, first of all, our readers do not usually comment unless our posts end with a question that can be answered in a word or two. For example, GM's recent post was asking "Who answered?" got 5 relevant comments whereas my Musical Mondays 8 asked for a summary of the lyrics and got 0 comments. Speaking of comments, so many comments have been about wanting to become an author or Wendy's identity. The majority of the other comments are from contributors of this blog.
Also, our readers seem inclined to posts with less words. Let's take a look at our top viewed posts...

Voki Wednesdays 1.5: Has no words
Wendy-ask wendy: 21 words
Feedback!: A whole freaking paragraph!!!!
Musical Mondays 1: Although it included several words, each prase was pretty much followed by a picture. Plus, it was the first in a series.
No contest participants?: This is definitely an outlier. What made it popular is that it gave the requirements for the coveted position of blog author.
 Maybe we should write shorter posts? Darn it, this one is already too long, isn't it...
--

Summary-
Our viewers are not as responsive as I'd first predicted. They also mostly prefer short posts and therefore probably stopped reading this back at the first sentence.

N- technology these days rule
people should read it 
i mostly just rant but seriously just read it and take my advice
APPLE IS STUPID!!!!

RF- I read them! I even write them! Besides...

Congratulations!

First place in the school spelling bee! Fantastically done, GM! Here's some stuff a video and two pictures for you and everyone else who takes the time to read the blog, I suppose.

(Oh, and N, this is my congratulatory post.)

Who Answered?

If you answered the newest trivia question, please leave your name in the comments.

Of course, you don't have to. I just wanted to know who is answering.

Update: I had to tweak the trivia question a bit, so go answer again.

The Fish

Fish! Now in color! With oddly yellow food!
But who changed it? GM?

Page views

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Someone was 4444 and they did not claim the prize.
Now it is on 4474

It is wierd because i got 1111 and 3333
but not 4444 so i will probably get 5555

Bias

Since there has been a lot of comments about whether or not GM's latest trivia question was biased, I am here to describe bias and why I think the arguments are invalid.

First of all, what is bias?

1.

an oblique or diagonal line of direction, especially across a woven fabric.

2.

a particular tendency or inclination, especially one that prevents unprejudiced consideration of a question; prejudice.

3.

Statistics . a systematic as opposed to a random distortion of a statistic as a result of sampling procedure.

4.

Lawn Bowling .

a.

a slight bulge or greater weight on one side of the ball or bowl.

b.

the curved course made by such a ball when rolled.

5.

Electronics . the application of a steady voltage or current to an active device, as a diode or transistor, to produce a desired mode of operation.

I'll assume the comments were referring to #2.  
(If any of you were referring to any other definition, please let me know immediately.)

Let's take a look at the question...

"Snow Cone uses Glaciate. What is Snow Cone supposed to be?"

 Arguments that this is biased basically are saying "But I never played Pokemon in my life!"
I say this is completely invalid. 

What if the question were "Billy Bob Jo can breathe. What is Billy Bob Jo supposed to be?" with answer choices of a glass of water, a homo sapien, N's Nexus & with a glass of water, and a water bottling factory? You most likely wouldn't say it is biased for whatever reason. Maybe because the word breathe is more common than glaciate? Maybe because Billy Bob Jo is a more popular name than Snow Cone? Maybe because you have played a game in which a character is named Billy Bob Jo?

Even if you've never met Billy Bob Jo or memorized a list of everything that can breathe known to mankind, you still have a chance of  getting the answer. That's the thing about trivia questions. You either know it or you don't. And with our multiple choice set up, you can still get it right without knowing the answer. With my Billy Bob Jo question, all I did was replace "Snow Cone" with "Billy Bob Jo" and replace "glaciate" with "breathe."

Unhappy Thanksgiving

 Right now, there is a cliche on the Internet, and it is "Happy Thanksgiving!".
But of course GM has to disagree.
  Have you ever considered how terrible Thanksgiving is to turkeys, domesticated or not?
Most of you say "Poor turkey," and continue eating, carving, or cooking the turkey. However, this is not true sympathy. If you do that and not anything else about the turkey then you don't really care about them.
  You should care.
   Why?
    If one day you turned on the TV and saw a breaking news report about how thousands of people were crammed into pens with no personal space, fed hormones and chemicals, lived and slept in their own poop, and were mass murdered at a certain time of year in a factory to be packaged and processed into mystery meats or sold whole and eaten by people, you and the rest of the world would be absolutely horrified.
   But, this is what happens to millions of poultry birds every Thanksgiving. Actually, the description that I just gave you was probably 5 times better than what really happens to domesticated birds.
   Domesticated fowl live painful, miserable, short lives.
There is one thing that irks me even more than the plight of the turkey. Remember the paragraph that started with the word "If"? (If you don't, now is a good time to make sure you have no mental problems.)
   If you do remember it, then let me ask you several hypothetical questions. If there was a news report on the horrible living conditions and life of the turkey, how long would it be? How long would it be talked about? How many people would stay glued to their TVs waiting for an update on who would be prosecuted for the torture of the turkey?
  The answer is "A lot less than if the news report were about people being mistreated". This is because people value their own lives over the lives of animals or basically any other living things. The only reason this would be justified is if you are starving and impoverished in a third-world country or something just as bad.
   However, turkey mass-murdering happens in America, where every person is doing better than that person in the third-world country.
 This is why you should start caring for someone other than yourselves(like a turkey) since you have everything you need at your fingertips Take a couple steps back, past the celebrities and politics, and see the big picture. (not literally)
   Then you would find out that the Earth itself is dying, turkeys are being mass murdered, and most first-world dwellers preoccupy  themselves with stupid politics, diet plans, and celebrities( none of which are necessary for anything but mass stupidity) in a unfortunately successful act to convince themselves that there is nothing wrong.

Which is why you should never use diet plans.

Musical Monday #7- A real one, except for the fact it's Sunday...

Well, I finally found some time to do a MM in the original way! 
Although you might not have heard of this song  probably have no idea what this song is, I found a surprisingly large number of things to take literally.

"I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz

Success!

Finally, I have made a trivia question that  has stumped 75% of the people that answered it! It wasn't even that hard! Only one person got it right, and that was RF, whose answer does not count since she used Google! 75% percent of you put "A paper cone with some ice inside" when the answer was "A Kyurem"! Snow Cone is my Kyurem and knows  the move Glaciate. A Kyurem is a Dragon and Ice typed Pokemon.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

I succeeded in stumping all 6 of you with this question!

                                                              This is a Kyurem.

Like A FREAKING Boss!

Alec Vacanti is back from the dead. Here I am and ready to rumble. Who the heck deleted me off the blog? I'm about to go berserk as I am now going to limit the number of posts I will in fact post. Lazy people who just want a headline... LOOK BELOW

ALEC VACANTI IS BACK YOU LAZY BUMS, AND WHOEVER DELETED ME OFF THE BLOG BETTER RUN CAUSE I'M COMING FOR YOU!

This is GM. I am here to inform you that even though Alec is part of Why Not? again, he is still too lazy to write blog posts. Also all example posts for the contest will be due Friday.

Ask Wendy Update

Since Connor and Alec tied for 1st place in the contest, they will both be guest authors.

Remember the questions are: 

Since there are three questions, you guys can not divide them up equally. Luckily  i have come up with a solution to this. Both of you guys will answer all of the questions.
To answer the questions, send in your answers to wendy.smith.ws.1.2.3.4.5@gmail.com

thank you for watching voki wednesdays 

sorry i havent done one recently

and really corruption what has the world come to

side note here 

rf writes the most posts but they are not popular

RF here. I think, as you have noticed, my posts are often fillers for those long stretches of time where everyone is too busy to post. Perhaps people never comment on some of my posts because I leave them speechless with my amazing work? Plus, I wanted to add that post popularity can be determined in different ways. Yes, by views, you two have the tops. I, however, hold the 3rd and 4th places. Anyway, I think I tend to write what the general population cares about. I have brought 8 hits by posting the YOLO post. Oddly enough, "I reported wendy" is the second search keywords that went to our blog.. If we count by comments, I think Alec has the best comments to post ratio. Wendy's stuff is also pretty controversial.

Bye Bye, Hostess!

You heard about the Twinkies and Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread (and etc.), right???

Musical (Not) Monday #6

Well, since I missed so many MMs, here's another one. Not the original type, though. I think I might be doing music videos for a while.

This is a small random compilation of music I found.

Here, we have the "sequel" to the song we love to hate- "Friday." Surprise, it's mostly about... Saturday.

Next up, a guy who plays pop song excerpts on the piano. Amazing! I for one really enjoyed this, although I'm not really into pop. Maybe because I play piano?

Here are these brothers who call their group "Nuttin But Stringz." Despite their spelling skills in the naming process, their performances are not bad. They're no Beethoven's, but I like how they combine classical music with other musical genres. However, I do not approve of them throwing their bows...

America

Ahh, the map resized to show the population of each state.

Musical (Not) Monday #5- Which is Worse? edition*

Which is worse?

Well then, are you annoyed or surprised or even aware that these two are so similar?????
Let's see...

A Post That Is Supposed to be Offensive

Some time ago, the Why Not? team had a problem with Lily cussing in the comments. This problem was taken care of, but today I went on the blog and found an Ashley Hudspeth-Adams asking who Wendy was and cussing. This violates our two rules about commenting: don't ask who Wendy is and don't cuss. Now this "Ashley" may not have been aware of this, but now she knows. So there is no reason for more cussing and spam from her.

Oh, Loveable Nerds!

Not Really Longer...

The weekend really hasn't gotten any longer. The weekend is still just Saturday and Sunday. Today, Monday, isn't really a day of the weekend. It's just a day off that happens to be right after the weekend days. In fact, many people who don't work on weekends are still going to work today. We mostly have the day off so government workers can get a day off. Anyway, although I've referred to breaks like this one as "long weekends," that's probably not the best term.

When I mentioned this to N, he sighed like my logic was totally illogical.

Surprise!

So, in the poll that asked what the special prize for the 3333 contest was, most people chose "surprise!" Since N won, I guess he should get a surprise. But, I am not sure what should be given. I'll try to think of something and give it to N on Tuesday.

For a Limited Time Only!

The fish at the top of the page will be invisible for a limited time.

GM's Goals for the Longer Weekend

Goal 1: Make hexaflexagon. (This is because I heard RF say "I still can't make a hexaflexagon.")

Goal 2: Clean tetra's tank. (If you don't know what tetras are, then you are banned from the authorship contest.)

Goal 3: Make convincing fake interview of parents because they never had a teenage job.( This is the hardest part of the math project: the non-math part.)

All crossed out goals have been done.

Trampoline

One day rf and i were getting our instruments from the orchestra room and were walking out
we talking about math and some random girl comes up to us and says, "Is that a trampoline?" , pointing to RF's cello
RF then replied,"No!"
then we discussed the differences between a cello and a trampoline
and there are a lot of them


the reason i am posting this is because RF said that she thinks this would be disrespectful to the stupid girl

in my opinion RF is too nice

Poll closed

The burning ice cube won the logo contest
rf won

that is the official logo for our websites, g+ page and twitter page

Technology these days

Sorry i haven't done one of these in a long time but frankly there was noting good to write about
u are probably going"Mr. Vemula, Mr. Vemula what about the i pad mini event"
and i am like "hey me from the past
1. the ipad mini sucks
2. they had other things too


1. The ipad mini

• it sucks 
• it is 7.9 inches
• same resolution as ipad 2
• not retina display
• smaller version of ipad 

They just had to get rid of the 3rd gen though

2. the ipad with retina display

• stupid name-ipad 3rd gen had retina display
• new processor
• no real exterior changes

3. new imac

• this is actually pretty good
• not that expensive compared to other stylish all in ones
• cool awesome welding process (mentioned in keynote-i loved how the guy quoted indie from mymusic"you've probably never heard of it")
• so thin and light
• noooooo they took out the optical drive and u have to buy one for 80$

4. new mac mini

• i actually kinda like this good design and it actually has ports
• i loved the inside view they gave us but space is being wasted

5. 13 inch mac book pro

• okay i guess
• no optical drive but yes hdmi, barely any ports
•  why do u need retina display

that is it for now i will do the nexus 7 later

and then about technology in cars

and about nintendo

A Somewhat Technology These Days

As you might know, we've been planning on getting the blog some social media accounts to share its awesomeness with the general population. We also want I think it would be nice to have some little buttons/icons that are linked to each account.
Here are some nice ones I found.

Ask Wendy

Actually, N likes Gary Johnson, too.
It is legal to vote for him.(Duh!)
He got third place in 48 states.
He was the candidate for the Libertarian Party.

Gary Who? Stein? Another Party? Say What?

 

America has a two party dominance. Republican and Democrat. The Independent parties hardly stand a chance! Leading up to this Election Day, pretty much everyone asked me, "Who would you vote for president?" I always answered Gary Johnson, an answer to which all but one person responded with either a "Who's that?" look followed by an unineterested shrug or by yelling "Nooooo! I meant Obama or Romney! Is it even, like, legal, to vote for Gary Johnson anyway?"*
Considering the chart below, it's a pretty impressive feat that Johnson even got 1% this time around!

Anyhow, this isn't exactly a fair game. Obama and Romney, as you might know, spent a total of $6 billion on campaigning! Third parties don't get equal campaign funding and therefore less publicity. Others may side with third parties but don't want to "waste" their votes.

I'm just saying that I feel third parties totally deserve a chance. After all, America is supposed to be "with liberty and justice for all." It was not founded to have a strict two party system. People from other parties used to be elected more often, but our last third party president was Fillmore, of the Whig Party, in 1850! (I think... Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Just my thoughts... Sort of a follow up to N's "3rd parties" post.

*Most were strong Obama supporters.
 

Wendy

Who is Jim?


BTW
this is the 100th post

stupid 3rd parties

why are they called 3rd parties if there are more than one
and they are stupid because we wont get a majority in florida because the 3rd party canidates are taking about 0.8% of the vote there causing mitt romney and obama to be neck-and-neck but neither gets a majority
then no one gets the electoral votes and there will be a big legal siut
it will be a repeat of the 2000 election
just saying , but al gore should have won
we would have been a lot better off


if u r in florida and reading this--
if u didnt vote then u will be the cause of this
u could have prevented it
ur vote counts


update
no one got Florida because no one got a majority

Correct Usage of YOLO

You Only Live Once!




Note: I don't mean that I absolutely enforce the idea of "YOLO." Like as in the belief that people only live once. I have no solid proof of that for you. I meant to put across the idea that YOLO shouldn't be carried out by going to stupid parties and doing stupid things.

Weird Fads and Trends

Sillybandz and its many variations- Remember a couple years ago when so many kids walked around with colorful rubber bands hiding their wrists? Me too. I'm not sure how these got so popular. Some reasons could be that they're relatively cheap, colorful, and come in many shapes. (Actually they were overpriced; a small container of about 10 Sillybandz was usually around $2. I think-GM) it was more expensive.-N However, they have caused deep cuts on the wearers' wrists. There was a story about a little kid who wore almost 60 of them for two days or so. He couldn't get them off, so he got his dad to do it. When he did, the kid started bleeding. When they got to the hospital, they discovered a few had dug into his flesh. Why on Earth did some wrist cinching rubber bands become popular so quickly? On the other hand, some companies made rubber bands so loose and gigantic that kids wore them around their necks. Sillybandz are as silly as the name says. Rubber bands have so many logical uses (ie. shooting your enemies, absorbing kinetic energy, marking a book, holding your broken insert broken object here together, or even keeping that huge bundle of stuff from falling apart), but putting them on your wrist is pretty dumb, in my opinion.

Ripped jeans- I don't get it. If you want ripped jeans, go to Good will or go rob a hobo. Why pay so much? It used to be people either mended or trashed ripped clothing, especially pants I'd imagine. And now, there are designer jeans with holes selling at the mall? (Actually, I think ripped jeans are still popular, so it doesn't count as a fad.-GM) Okay, let's call it a trend. -RF
