The Pursuit of Happyness

#1 Postby GalvestonDuck » Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:34 pm

First of all, has anyone seen it yet? I saw it while I was in KY for Christmas. Loved it. Not as much of a tear-jerker as I was expecting (nothing beats Rudy). But it was heart-warming and inspirational.

Second, who here has actually solved Rubik's Cube -- without peeling the stickers off or popping it apart? I think everyone and their brother had one in the 80's. I had the regular-sized one (3x3) and the smaller 3x3 keychain. Never attempted the weird egg-shaped one or the other geometric monstrosities. I think I came close to solving it a couple of times, but never could get the whole thing done.

The gang down in the UTMB blood bank got one for Christmas. So when I go pick up blood for patients, I'll try it while I'm waiting to check out a pint. I think I'll go buy another one (not sure what became of my 80's one) to work on at home.

Kinda wish I had one here on my unit....the day is going s-l-o-w.

I read about this guy in Reader's Digest, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie. :bday:

I never knew anybody who could solve the Rubik's cube. Too aggravating for me.

I never solved it. Not that I ever really tried. My goal was always just to get one side all the same color. :P
