9 wierd things about everyone

I know it's a lame copy/paste post, it's so funny I had to share it...

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours?
2. People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3. When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. You got that right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this?
5. When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the stupid floor.
6. People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'.... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When people say 'life is short'. What the heck?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came, would I still be standing here?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

As much as an avid reader I am, I have never come across a book so gripping (other than Harry Potter of course). But still, it's one heck of a book. I mean seriously, how many books have you read that are as good as this one? Well let me make it a bit clearer to you.

Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old kid who lives in New York and goes to boarding school, always has problems. Trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes and he doesnt know that it's because that he is the son of one the Olympian gods (Ancient Greek gods like Zeus and his dudes). He is a demigod (one of his parents is human and the other is god) and monsters target demigods to feast on. Unfortunately, Percy learns this the hard way after battling his undercover math teacher who turns out to be a monster. After going to the only sanctuary on earth for demigods where no monsters are allowed, Percy has to train to become a true hero and stop a war waging between the gods.

The story takes place in modern-time America and brings ancient Greek culture to our daily lives. That's what makes the book so darn good. It's funny, amuzing, interesting and all the good adjectives you would use to describe a book. It's a definate 2 thumbs up and anyone who reads this post should read it 'cause you'll never regret it.
p.s. The first book of the series is The Lightening Theif. Just so you know.
