Battery powered shoes

Dumb action of the Day
Today's dumb action winner goes to a man at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Alarm bells were set off when he tried walking through security — specifically a series of concealed metal plates and batteries were in his shoes. The man was detained, taken to a nearby police station and questioned for five hours. The incident drew the interest of Peel Regional Police, the RCMP and INSET, Canada's integrated national security enforcement team.

But instead of concealing bomb-making equipment, police said the man was simply trying to appear taller. He used a series of batteries and plates to make himself appear taller. Essentially, they were homemade lifts.

How bad economic times are we in that we need to make homemade lifts?! Going to the airport with batteries and metal parts in your shoe is like walking into a bank with a money bag sign, you just know something bad is going to happen. And for that reason, this is the dumb action of the day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAOMING!

Its Haoming's 19th birthday today. I love how one second everyone is doing their own thing and right after Jonathan msged people telling them its Haoming's Bday everyone suddenly puts it on their msn name. Oh instant msging, how I love it. I did feel a bit bad for not remembering his birthday but Haoming sure knows how to make me feel better.

Good job Haoming

Last year I think we forgot it was his birthday until the next day. Today we remembered at 8pm. This is a great sign, we are improving. Shout out to Jonathan for telling us all.

Don't get my shoes dirty

Its funny how Laurier can completely change within a day or two. On Wednesday literally where ever you walked everyone was wearing green. And I don't mean just a green shirt, a lot of people were wearing green shirts, hats, pants, and some people even had green shoes. I was walking to my business class at 1pm and people were already drinking, I personally don't like drinking that early but these people are hardcore.The next day you can see green clothing everywhere. With broken bottles on the ground and even a random chair on the street.Today (March 19th) was open house day where all these high school kids with their families were walking around campus. They reminded me how I felt last year without knowing where to go for my post secondary education. If I had to describe Wilfrid Laurier in one word is would be 'community' because when there is an event at the school everybody makes sure the campus is looks completely clean.
