Are We Shrinking?
Science will tell you that the human race has grown over the centuries. The average suit of armor from the medieval times is too small to fit today's a
verage war-fighting-age male. But as I sit here in the Social Science building at KSU, I notice that the average height of the freshman and sophomore girls is between 5'0" and 5'3". Michelle and I have discussed it before, and we've come to the conclusion that we are systematically breeding shorter women. I've noticed the same thing--though not as severe--with the guys
. This picture is a computer generated suit of armor, but I think if the US Army wore things like this into battle, there would be less battles to fight.

I'm listening to Pandora Radio <pandora.com>. Pandora is a free internet radio station website. It's very unique as well. When you go to their website, you'll be given the chance to sign up. You don't have to, but I suggest that you do. Once you've created your free account (or if you opt not to sign up, you can still do this) you type in the name of an artist or song that you like. They'll play the song you choose, or a song from the artist that exemplifies their musical style. Once that song finishes, it will play a song similar to the one you just heard. One of the great things is that it introduces you to new artists and bands that you may not have previosly heard of. If you don't like the song that's being played, you can click a "thumbs down" button on the picture of the album, and they'll avoid that song, and others like it. If you like the song, click the "thumbs up" button and they'll play more like it. If you create an account, you can make radio stations that will be displayed each time you sign in.

I'm going through my old journal entries and giving them titles and categorizing them. Most of them did not have titles, or if they did, it did not import the titles when I changed to WordPress. It's a tedious process, but it kept me busy in class this morning.
I enjoy my classes, but they get a little boring sometimes. My Police in America class comes second nature to me, as well as my Criminal Law class.
