Number One Idiot of 2002
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away. Here’s your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

i sincerely hope that’s a made up story!

all new (again)

took some time out to do a little re-design of the site, what do you think?

still the same general layout but graphics and colours have changed. i wanted to add more graphics to it but i can’t find anything that suits me so i’ll just use this for now. i’ll probably change it again if i find something i like

this guy was going to be the mascot, haha

hundreds of people had something in common on may 10th. though each experienced their own unique day in the life, to be sure, what they shared was the act of documenting their day by taking hourly photos. if i may use a word i’m probably guilty of beating to death by now, this is one cool concept…
