  1. I went to catholic school too. The ruler was the method of choice but I remember once when Tommy bennett was talking and joking during stations of the cross that Sister Veronica took him out into the hall and banked his head against the tiles.

  2. I always learned it as “jerry rig” and thought “jury rig” was specifically the nautical term. Looking it up though it would seem that “jury” is more broadly associated than I thought.

  3. So last night I was drinking wine and making electromagnets. Take a bunch of coated copper wire, wrap it in a bunch of loops around something, jury rig a connection to a standard wall plug, put a dimmer switch in between the wall plug and the coil, and plug the fucker into the wall. It was kind of cool. I need to get a big metal plate to see if I can get the whole thing to levitate. At some point it made a loud buzzing noise and started smoking and my head felt kind of funny.
