Further proof that Steve Martin is brilliant...

He said this:

"I often think all that thinking we do and that emotional pain is some kind of evolutionary flaw. Why? Why are we neurotic? What's the purpose?" Martin said. "It's something like evolution going too far, and we end up so worried about things that don't matter. That's what love is. It's like this whole side effect of mating that got really complicated."

football funnies from this weekend...

First, I don't know if you'll find anyone anywhere who would claim Duke is a football school. Actually, I don't even know if you would find anyone who would even call the team decent, but I think they may have reached a new low this weekend: You see, the expansion of the ACC means we now get to play the likes of Virginia Tech, which we did on Saturday. The final score was 45-0 in favor of Tech, but the really sad part is that Duke only had 35 yards of total offense. Yes, Va Tech had more points than we had yards...

Second, while watching the UNC-Ga Tech game, one of the commentators uttered the following:
"There have been four instances in this game where penalties have had an effect on field position..." Now, I may be wrong here, but don't penalties usually have an effect on field position? I can only think of a couple of situations where penalties DON'T have an effect on field position....

Anyway, it's good to have college football back in my life...if only I could find a decent team to watch live....
