Anatomy and iOS5 nerdery

I was able to take home a box of bones from school to study so i built this skeleton. It was fun cuz i like nerdy things like this (remember that vagina I had to build in anatomy at the U? That was awesome. Especially since i had Lady and the Tramp on while doing it!)!

I also took and edited this pic solely with my iPhone. The old style lines came from an iPhone app, but the photo quality, shading, cropping and awesomeness is all iPhone! Thanks Steve Jobs and crew!

Monkey farts

This is what our apartment smells like! It's very good really. I wonder what those monkeys eat. Bananas don't make my farts smell like this, I can guarantee that!

Official Nevada Citizens

Just got our driver's licenses! I've gained 30 pounds since moving here. It's called pregnancy sympathy weight! A few more pounds and I'll probably need a separate ID for my chin!

My Experiment!

Ok, so this is a picture of the 2 fantasy football leagues (my brother-in-law calls it "Fairy Tale Football") in which I'm currently participating.  As you can see, both of those teams are polar opposites.  Of course, my point would be much more potent if I was in 12th place on the top, but the principal still remains.  What principal you may ask?  The principal that DRAFTING IS FOR LOSERS!! 
For the past 3 years, I've conducted an experiment.  My hypothesis is that if you do research and work to build your perfect team, you will fail. 

Subject 1) Team name "Autopick Next Season": 
This team is the team I actively drafting, picking players based on stats and potential points.  I consulted ESPN, Yahoo! sports, and CBSSports to determine who the best players would be for my team would be.

Subject 2) Team name "Great Balls of Fire":
This team is the team I let the computer "Autopick" for me.

As you can see, the autopicked team is in first place and the drafted team might as well be in last place.  You may ask "But Murph, it's only 4 weeks in the season.  Anything could happen."  For that, I show you subject 3)

Notice the football leagues (don't even get me started on my basketball skills, both on the computer and on the court.  That's another blog.).  I had 2 in 2010, 1 in 2009 and 1 in 2008.  Notice their ranks.  The Moody Reds finished in 3rd and I Shouldn't Draft finished DEAD FREAKING LAST!!  In 2009, The Skidmarks, I finished 6th.  6 out of 10 is 50%.  50% on a test means FAIL!  Last, but definitely not least, my 2008 team:  Smurph Turds (*cue angelic voices).  My very first league I've ever done, and I took home the glory.  I'm sure I don't have to say...but I will anyway. 
Drafted Teams:
I Shouldn't Draft 2010 [12 of 12]
The Skidmarks 2009 [6 of 12]
Autopicked Teams:
The Moody Reds 2010 [3 of 10]
Smurph Turds 2008 (*Aaaah) [1 of 10]

This 3 year experiment has told me that, I will finish in the final 3 if I autopick and I will epically fail if I try and work and research and draft myself.

Take home message: It's a good thing I don't pay for this!
