Because he is running for president someday, Ben likes to keep his under aged drinking habits a secret:
Dan: I hear you’ve been a MIP
Ben: No never
Dan: they said you tried beer.
Ben: You can’t talk about this over AIM, its unencrypted
With this next one keep in mind that Ben sits less than 20 feet away from me:
Ben: Maybe its better if we talk on the phone, I can call you

I bought a something from the somethingstore.com and, after waiting 17 days, finally got it. Although I had envisioned getting something awesome to my surprise it was not.
The item I purchased for $10 ended up being worthless beyond all belief. I got Einsteinian Gluons; an Einstein themed sticky note book. What computer science geek would use sticky notes? I suppose I could label my computers time to time.
A couple other guys in the office got a something too. They both got the same thing which ended up being an inexpensive coffee mug (lame!).
Here are some pictures of my mysterious purchase:



For those of you who are interested, the actual cost of my something is less than $6 on Amazon.
