Do Schools Kill Creativity (TED Talk)

Filed under: Creativity, Education, Humor, Science, Video by Tim @ 3:44 pm

This is a brilliant talk by Ken Robinson about the nature of intelligence, creativity, and what our educational system is doing to kill it.  Do schools kill creativity?  Only if you go to class.

It Makes Me Laugh and Laugh and Laugh

Inspiration SoupI was sent this link years ago and remember sharing it with my co-worker Steve. We laughed so hard it started to hurt and my face got all crampy. I tracked them down again and still find them very funny. You’ve really got to start at the first card and just keep going.

Some of these look frighteningly familiar to me from being raised in a house that was occasionally invaded by the bad vibes and self loathing that is Weight Watchers. Like the Italian Chicken. Yup. Pretty sure we ate that from time to time.

Well, enjoy these vintage Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974.
