Really Uber-Nerdy Joke

Posted by & filed under , , .

OK, so this one comes via Bill Gross, but I so couldn’t resist to spread it around — if you know your physics you will find it hilarious! (And if you don’t, you’ll just think I’m an uber-nerd :D)       Einstein, Newton, and Pascal are hanging out one afternoon. Einstein is bored, so […]

“Proper” Rugby Ball

Posted by & filed under , , , , , .

As you probably know from my previous posts, I keep a (rather hopeful) eye on the evolution of Romanian Rugby. And after a couple of years of looking around, I got this awesome present (thanks, sis!) — an official Romanian Rugby Federation, matchday ball: All I have to do no is to put my name […]

Back in February/2012, I’ve hit 3,000+ page views a month — big milestone for a small blog like this, I’m sure you’ll all agree! It appears traffic has been on the way up though, as my latest look at the Wassup stats reveals over 8,000 page views for the last month! And that is, as […]
