So I went to a wedding this weekend (ugh) and we were looking up directions to the church and Teresa was on her computer and said "hey, the church has a wikipedia entry." She was reading it to herself, but then she turned to me and said "hey, you might like this." and i said, "what? did the church burn down or something?" and she said "yeah." LOL.
then when i got home, i received a postcard that Gary had sent when he was in England and the postcard was a giant cut-out of Princess Di's head. it was pure amazingness!
i like how everyone knows exactly what i like or find funny. i hope i'm not getting predictable.

MS
So apparently the co-op in our area is doing some bike ride from Berea to Cedar Point in two days which is like a billion miles and she is trying to raise money. The title of her e-mail was "Support MS." I told her that i don't support diseases, but i do support the fight against diseases though. So, if she wanted to raise money to find a cure for MS, i might donate to that. But I wouldn't want to just support MS. It's ruined enough people's lives, and i don't feel like helping it along any further.
then i got to wondering if Multiple Sclerosis is grammatically correct. Wouldn't it be Multiple Scleroses (with an "e" not an "i") ? If a sclerosis is a patch of hardened tissue in the brain or spinal cord, then if you have multiple of them, you would have scleroses (i'm assuming the plural form is akin to parenthesis/parentheses) So either you would have SS (singular sclerosis) or MS (multiple scleroses). I'm assuming most people have MS, although having SS would probably suck too, and given the choice of the two, i think i would lean more towards SS. This newfound realization of improper grammar only made me not want to support MS even more. What a dumb disease.
