A type of incredibly short dress, derived from the term mini.
I can find no evidence of these, but when I posted on a message board about how I thought dresses were long a girl corrected me by telling me about minis and maximinis. Girls believe in them.

Get the maximini mug.A group of states that didn't like the way United States of America was going, so they said they weren't really part of the United States of America anymore. The rest of the country didn't like this, so they started a war. A lot of people think the war was fought over slavery, but that was just one issue among many. Most southerners didn't even own slaves, although most of the ones who did owned a lot of them. The next most common thing is to own one slave or no slaves.
If the Confederate States of America had won, things would be so much better now. People would've abolished slavery eventually and the Confederate States of America were much more for state rights than our government is today.

Get the Confederate States of America mug.A television show featuring large talking bananas that would run around in their night clothes in public during broad daylight. I used to watch it sometimes when I was around 4 when I got pretty bored. I thought it sucked then, so if I'm any example kids don't even like it. I remember someone trying to swim in a bench on that show.

Get the Bananas In Pajamas mug.A company that makes music stuff. I don't know about their other instruments, but their trombones suck. Don't get a jupiter trombone, unless you want to really be able to apreciate a half decent trombone. Their other instruments probably suck as much.
I played a jupiter trombone in sixth grade that we rented. In seventh I asked for a yamaha because they looked cooler. The slide is much easier to move and the instrument itself is much lighter. It's still not all that great, but it's good enough for a highschooler. We've continued to rent the same trombone for three years now and some day I'm going to buy it out of slavery, for sentimental value if nothing else, even though I really could use one with an f key.

Get the jupiter mug.1. The governing force by which the universe is supposed to operate, but doesn't really.
Non-operation is defined in the sense of a computer program having an error in its programming. Sense life has not crashed, we are forced to conclude that the universe operates.
An extremely logical person will attempt to relate every event, emotion, and idea into a universal truth and will probably devote the entirety of their life to this endeavor, possibly to the point of obsession. When they fail utterly they can only say that they did the most logical thing possible.
2. An excuse to ignore the emotions, logic, ability, or worth of others in order to do whatever the hell one wants.

Boy: Why do you say that?
Girl: Monkeys are invading the world.
Boy: Where?
Girl: Everywhere.
The boy looks around the room.
Boy: But I do not see any monkeys. If monkeys are invading the world everywhere then they should be here as well. Therefore I am forced to conclude that your statement is false unless you have some other information to show me otherwise.
Girl: Stop being so damn logical! It was a freaking joke, you damn bastard! I HATE YOU! #@$&%#&@$&%#@$&!!!

Get the logic mug.Cuba was once ruled by a military ruler, until Fidel Castro came into power after a revolution. Fidel Castro quickly tried to secure trade ties with the United States, but as he was sympathetic to communists the United States was afraid he was one himself. Having no trade ties with the United States, he turned to the Soviet Union.
He is a great speaker and charismatic leader who gained power legitimately. It is contested whether he has maintained power legitamently.
He made health care available to all people and schooling free. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union Cuba's middle class has been losing support for Fidel Castro. The dissenters of the middle class and those trying to escape the poverty forced by the embargo make up those trying to flee Cuba. Support within the lower class is still strong.
Economically Cuba is a much more equal place to live.However, social freedoms are not as good. There are many of what Amnesty International calls "Prisoners of Conscience." It is illegal to speak against Fidel Castro, even peacefully. Many things such as this are problems in Cuba.
The embargo is a huge blow to Cuba economically, which has repetedly been voted against by the vast majority of the United Nations. The embargo also serves to cover up the social injustices of Cuba as there is less trade coming in and out of Cuba. If the Embargo were ended, Cuba would be a better place to live economically and socially.
The United States had repetedly tried to murder Fidel Castro and even tried to launch an invasion. This invasion became known as the Bay of Pigs. It was unsuccessful as Fidel Castro quickly squelched what support there was and the rest Cuba's population resisted strongly.
Fidel Castro is one of the most successful socialist revolutionary leaders. He transformed Cuba into a much more economically equal place than places like America, but he has been a harsh leader as well. His age is getting up there though and he can't live too much longer. Upon his death, his brother, Raul Castro, will mostly like gain power.

People act like Fidel Castro has made Cuba a crappy place. Cuba has it's problems, but so does the United States. They just aren't the same problems.
I greatly admire Fidel Castro as a socialist leader, even if I don't agree with everything he did in the name of Communism.

Get the Fidel Castro mug.In 90's there was a cult that thought they were going to get taken into the heavens in a space ship. Several of them got castrated to help them clear their mind, 'cause no one does those kinds of things in heaven. Once a room was found with 30 Heaven's Gate members who had commited suicide. They thought they were leaving their bodies so they could get into the spaceship, which was behind some comet that had happened to show up.
They claim to be Christian, but they're a cult, and no one is quite sure what they believe anymore. There's a lot of information about them online and wikipedia will link you to their official website as well.

Poor Sod: I'm lost, confused, self deprivating, and desperate. I should go join Heaven's Gate Cult! A cult would fill the void!
