… that John Green is in fact a professional writer and not just a nerdy dork who wears zombie unicorn hats with suits in a park filming himself. He’s also an adult. I forget that, too.
I never even think of Hank being serious in a job, as he is the epitome of silly….

What I asked Obama's tumblr
“Can we please get rid of pennies? seriously, they waste money, have no actual value, and contribute very little, if at all, to monetary transactions. thanks.”

Wittgenstein’s idea was this: Imagine a world where everyone has a box in which they keep a beetle. People can look in their own boxes, but not each others’, and over time, the word beetle becomes the accepted to describe what people keep in their boxes. Because people...
