embarousing

Embarousing is a portmanteau of embarrassing and arousing. It's used when you're embarrassingly aroused by something. It can be used in context of a sexual guilty pleasure.

My friend linked me to a Rule 34 drawing of Baymax yesterday. I found the picture embarousing.

APHG

AP Human Geography A slightly interesting but utterly useless AP course taken by mainly ninth graders thought up by College Board. Most colleges don't look at it, and it's only use is if you get an A in it, you get a weighted 6 for your weighted GPA, which colleges don't look at either. (They look at unweighted, so if you do terrible in it, you're fucked)

Guy 1: I got a 5 on my APHG test!
Guy 2: Who cares? It's an easy course.
Guy 1: At least there's the credit.
Guy 2: Colleges don't look at that.
Guy 1: At least I have the weighted GPA.
Guy 2: Colleges don't look at that either.
Guy 1: At least I have an A.
Guy 2: You could have saved the trouble and taken a regular course.
Guy 1: At least it was interesting.
Guy 2: That's opinionated, and is an invalid argument.

Tesla Coil

*cont* They cannot get as big as DRSSTCs can. DRSSTCs are fucking dangerous but cool at the same time. These ones you NEED a faraday suit to touch the arcs or you will die. These things can be HUGE. They are very hard to build because both the primary and secondary coils have to be in resonance with each other. It is a committed build, because it is very expensive to build and even more expensive to buy. Never buy them. Always build them. It's cheaper that way. I spent about 200 dollars total on my SGTC, and for a smaller one online, it costs about 1200 dollars. DRSSTCs cost around 1000 dollars for a big one... to build from scratch. VTTCs are what it says... it has vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes are archaic transistors. Transistors boost current. VTTCs are slightly more complicated than SSTCs, and their arcs are completely safe to touch. The arcs are still HOT though, but I'm talking electrically. HFSSTCs are high frequency, so they are also safe to touch to an extent. In all of these, I still suggest NOT touching the arcs at all, unless you have a desktop model of an SSTC. Those ones apparently "feel like how a 9V feels like on your tongue." That is the basics on Tesla Coils. Oh and also... Nikola Tesla invented it (DERP no duh). I forgot to mention. They can be over a million volts and various currents, and powered by multiple types of transformers.

I am going to go play with a million volts in my garage now using my tesla coil.

Pikachu

Epic yellow object made from Chuck Norris's guts and Charlie Sheen's blood. A living Tesla Coil. If his lightning was projected in real life, it would be around a hundred million volts, and a few hundred amps. AKA Deadly but awesome. Pikachu hates going into Pokeballs, and controls children's minds through it's total epicness. A male pikachu has a pointy tail, and a female has a heart. Pikachu is the god of adorable, fluffy things and is an apprentice for the god of high voltage, Nikola Tesla. Pikachu might cause seizures when zapping missiles though. Other than that, a tame one is extremely cuddly. Pikachu lost a lot of weight from the first season to now. That doesn't mean he's any less adorable and cute!

Today's kids will never know why Pikachu is always out of its pokeball... Pikachu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga are all related, according to Bulbapedia. Also, you can tell by looking at them. They all have circles on their faces, and they are all tiny, and they are all cute as fuck.

Joke: What is an electric Pokemon's capacitance measured in?

PIKA-FARADS!!!
*Pika, pico meaning 10^-12, geddit?*

TENS

This stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It is used by sending an electrical current through particular parts of the body to block pain in chronic pain situations. Some people use this as a fetish object, where they use the TENS machine to shock various parts of themselves for pleasure (see electrophilia)

Ex1:
Football player: My back hurts.
Doctor: I'm going to put you on this TENS machine for a while, so that it will block the pain.

Ex2:
Sally: I like shocking myself.
Guy: WTF? Well, how do you do it?
Sally: I hook myself up to this TENS machine. It feels stronger than a violet wand, and I like it!

Kingdom Keepers

An awesome book series by Ridley Pearson. It is about a group of kids from five different schools (which actually exist) that get sent to Disney World (in Orlando) to be subjects for a DHI, Daylight Hologram Imaging / Disney Host Interactive project. This allows tourists to ask questions to projected hologram guides all over the parks. However, something went wrong when they compiled their data. When they fall asleep at night, they wake up as their hologram selves in the park. This may sound fun, but it turns out the Disney villains are real! It would be cool if one of them "went" to Dr. Phillips High School, the one adjacent to Universal Studios. But no, it's a DISNEY book... not a UNIVERSAL one.

Hey man! I wonder if they really are going to put DHIs in Disney just like they did in the Kingdom Keepers!.

crotch watch

You know how guys stare at boobs at the mall? The same way, girls and homosexual guys stare at the genital region of passing people.

Guy 1: Actually... it's men who crotch watch (other men); most women don't.
