Peeps Jousting Fails to Predict 2007 Final Four Winner
 |
Marshmellow Peeps have been around all my life, yet I never knew that Peep jousting existed until today. It seems that you take two Peeps and affix a toothpick to them and then microwave them on high until you have a winner. In order to “predict” the outcome of this year’s Final Four, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune played it out with Peep jousting. The Peeps successfully had Florida and Ohio State in the championship game, but incorrectly had Ohio State winning the final game. They ran the simulation twice with the exact same outcome, with such methodology, I cannot imagine how their predictions failed. Now if I can score some peeps on sale after Easter, I might be able to predict the winner of the World Series! |
I hate Easter. I can’t eat the candy anymore and all the stores are closed.

I overdosed on Peeps last year and I am also restricted from eating them. But if I can score some of these little marshmellow bastards 50% after Easter, that could provide some entertainment and a microwave cleaning opportunity as well.

Beware! Bad smells can infiltrate a microwave. Cleaning it won’t help.
We once had to toss a microwave because popcorn was badly burnt in it and the smell just wouldn’t go away.
Had to throw a second one out when a glass of water exploded inside it.

Hmm…thats a good point. That coupled with general laziness and an inability for me to capture good pictures of things in the microwave will probably prevent me from Peep jousting. Now if I could find an old microwave…

Or a vacuum chamber.
