We really need to remember this, and strive for it instead of churning out automatons who excel at filling in bubbles.

Area Kitty Upset by Mainstream Media Portrayal of Cats
Pickle, a local cat, is furious by the mainstream media’s negative portrayal of his species. ”Cats are often depicted by the media as poor spellers, many times engaged in an activity with some sort of invisible friend, tool or instrument,” said Larry Owens, the cat’s lawyer. ”Pickle feels that he speaks for cats everywhere when he says that he is sick of this damaging stereotype and how it is constantly reinforced by the mainstream press.”
Pickle is seeking a formal acknowledgement of the issue from the Society of Professional Journalists and plans to put together an educational packet entitled “The Rich History of Cats: No LOLing Matter” to be released this fall.

6In our culture, not to know is to be at fault socially… People pretend to know lots of things they don’t know. Because the worst thing to do is appear to be uninformed about something, to not have an opinion… We should know the limits of our knowledge and understand what we don’t know, and be wiling to explore things we don’t know without feeling embarrassed of not knowing about them.
Sir Ken Robinson on the essential role of exploration in finding your element, which in turn changes everything. (via royaltorch)

SURVEY: 68% of Puppies Are Bored at Work
A new survey out from the Department of Labor suggests that a little more than two-thirds of puppies are bored to tears at their jobs.
“Most of the puppies surveyed felt they were underemployed or mis-employed,” says Ronald Wills, a DoL spokesperson. “Puppies are just better at guarding things or digging. They’re not going to be that excited about spreadsheets.”
