Shermer's First Law of Intelligence

From a Penn & Teller show, a quote from Michael Shermer: "Smart people are very good at rationalising things they came to believe for unsmart reasons."
You might think Creationism boasts a few fine minds, but just remember Shermer's First Law of Intelligence.

from first to last

from first to last is an awesome post hardcore band. that genre would best describe them. they go past all music ever created. they are simply one of the best. their new album, "heroine", certainly proves that. There previous album, "dear diary, my teenage angst has a bodycount," is no slouch either. The aesthetic EP was some of their beginner stuff. they were specific with the emo ex-girlfriend style. they have progressed in their music amazingly. sonny moore, derek bloom, matt good, and travis richter are the members. wes borland plays bass for them on tour and on the new album. john weisberg, the previous bassist, was kicked out in '05. from first to last is deffinitely a deadly competition to any band on the music scene.
world war me: i'm a one life, hopeless, dirty, animal baby and i bow down to my feeble brain. abberated, primitive; stay with me, stay with me. no food for weeks, i've never felt better; we look better famished girl. hightail to the lush escape, and leave our filty world away.

i love from first to last.

first pancake

An awkward or unsuccessful first experience, followed by better, highly successful subsequent experiences of the same kind. Like when you make a batch of pancakes: The first one turns out messed-up because you're out of practice or haven't made pancakes before. The second and following pancakes come out perfectly round and golden.
Girl 1: "My new boyfriend is so great, but when we had sex for the first time, it was awkward and terrible. I hope it gets better. I really like him and he likes me."

Girl 2: "Be patient. It's just like the first pancake. I'm sure it will get better."

First Love Syndrome

The first person you truly fall in love with. You want to spend every moment with this person, you're almost addicted. You picture yourself marrying this person. Even when things turn sour, you're sure you'll work them out. Even when you break up, you're sure that after some time, even in the future, you will get back together and live happily ever after. Because you love each other, how could you not? This usually happens in your teens. And when you mature more, you (hopefully) realize that it was just first love syndrome.
Wow, Jill really thinks she is going to get back together with Jack after he dumped her on her birthday? She just has first love syndrome.
