Awesome Thing of the Week

Awesome Thing of the Week

By Chelsea Dagger

We have several riveting discussion points for today's post:

1. Some of you consider the delivery of US mail to be nothing short of sacrosanct. As such, you will be deeply unhappy to learn the postman who delivers letters and magazines to Chelsea Dagger's Brooklyn apartment doesn't even put them in her mailbox. Nope. He just flings them cavalierly about, as if Pottery Barn catalogues and deli coupons were worthless confetti, and not Chelsea's sole reason for living. If you're as aghast as we suspect you are, please send strongly-worded emails of protest to the Director of Mail-Related Goings-On, and make sure to include the phrase, "the situation is dire indeed."

2. MATH. Oh, math. How you haunt our every waking moment. Sure, we managed to figure out that last week's clip scored an average of 7.76 on the Scale of Awesomeness, but it took us a lot of cheating, three sleepless nights, and all the abacuses we could find (which was zero). And as if simple addition and subtraction weren't difficult enough, there's now talk of "derivatives" and "integrals" and something terrifying called "synthetic division." The mere mention of these words make Chelsea's brain crumble into tiny little pieces, which she often mistakes for Cheez-its and EATS. It's awful (and unhygienic, as you can imagine). What's our point? Meh, we don't really have one. We just wanted to make a joke about accidentally eating our own brains, and this seemed like a good spot to do it.

MOVING ON. Now that everyone is squinting bemusedly and applying to MIT, it's time for the giggle-fest of the century—we don't want to oversell ourselves here, but this video, discovered by our very own Emily Winter, may very well be the most awesome Awesome Thing of ALL TIME:

Oh, and per too's request, here is link (and a backup link) to try if the video won't load!
