Yup.

Because starting off my day with a blog post makes me happy and I have found some real gems here... 

Yes in the green it says "If someone wanted to pour a cup of gunpowder in a tin can and explode it, it's probably okay."  And yes, green states are Tennessee AND Missouri.

Well, with my cousin Zack, who can make a bomb out of sparklers and duct tape, it's a good thing Tennessee is so lax. 

On the other side of crazy, we have a slightly bitchy blogger pointing out the fact that people our age are generally stupid. 

"Yes, I am looking at you — Mr. Twenty-something hipster with your skinny jeans and tumblr blog. You may know your way around the Internet but a third of you (33%) don't know that the US declared independence from Great Britain and two-thirds (69%) don't know that this happened in 1776.
Don't worry, your elders can help you out. Over 70% of fifty-year olds knew that our founding fathers revolted against the British and 75% knew this happened in 1776. If you want to keep up your cool reputation, you may want to seek out this older generation and get schooled on some history before you embarrass yourself again next year."

Okay, let's look at those stats again.  33% of kids didn't know we revolted against the British, but (if my math is accurate) 30% of oldies didn't know either.  69% of younglings didn't know when it happened but only 25% of old peeps didn't know.  Is the first stat really worth mentioning?  Also, why are some many people idiots?  1 out of 4 people not knowing this is pathetic no matter how old you are.  
Anyway, I'll try to post actually creative things and not shit I read on the internet in the future.
