the latest fad on our high school campus? no, it's not what the teens are wearing, it's something they're playing with. you may ask, is it a new cellphone, perhaps? nope. a new high-tech mp3 player? not even close. the newest craze - to the point that i have to tell them to put it away because they need to do work - is the rubik's cube.
what's that, you ask? have we somehow landed in 1983? (it wouldn't be hard to draw that conclusion given the footless tights, day-glow shirts, and ballet flats that all the girls are wearing, but i digress...) no, it seems that since these kids weren't alive in the 80's, they missed out on the entertaining and puzzling color cube. they have now found it, and it's the latest thing to see how long it takes you to solve it. they have races. i am not making this up. and these races are not being done by the nerdy social pariahs. oh, no, these are the normal, fairly popular, main-stream kids.
it just boggles my mind.

HA! Oh I love it! we used to have one circa 1983... but after my sisters idea of 'fixing' it occured noone else could do it... she took the stickers off and re stuck them on to finish the puzzle. ;)
