But one thing at a time, and first things first. Starting June 13, I will be the first-ever director of communications for an up-and-coming laboratory in Indianapolis. Woo-hoo for me! Dr. Job and I had a wonderful Friday together, talking about the details of the position, running through a tour of the company, and ironing out compensation logistics. I met with my boss yesterday morning and gave official notice, and she seemed less thrilled than she was for me two weeks ago, but I suppose asking her to jump for joy is a bit much. Anyway, at least I can shout it from the rooftops that I am FINALLY LEAVING RENSSELAER. I AM FINALLY LEAVING RENSSELAER! My last day will be Friday, May 13 (kind of creepy, but it's a payday, so I'll take my chances), and I'm already wondering how I'll make it that long. Silly thoughts on my part, as there will be more than enough to keep me busy.
But on to the mind-blowing piece of news, according to my sister Ryan. She called at 10:30 with instructions for me to log on to CNN.com/tupac and read the in-depth interview conducted with the rapper just last night, during which it was revealed that he faked his own death nine years ago. But alas, when Luke and I logged on to said site, it didn't exist. "Oh, wait, not CNN.com. Type in BenderBoyz," she said, "with a 'z'."
You know, CNN's other credible news source. That article DOES exist here.
Ryan refused to believe the site was a hoax, even after I explained that it's very easy to copy text and images from other Web pages, AND that it's not likely CNN.com would associate itself with any group that spells "Boys" with a "z."
"I'll call you back," she said.
Crazy millenials.
I think that Tupac was having supper last night with his wife and baby girl at Steak and Shake in M-ville.
Either that or he was dining with Elvis in Las Vegas. JFK and Marilyn were probably there as well.
The CNN (benderboyz) site does look convincing.

Note the last two lines on the Benderboyz page in the lower right hand corner:
• You just got April Fooled!
• Tupac's dead. Get over it.

Um, yeah, buddy. If you'll notice, she actually refers to the article as a hoax in the last paragraph.
Posted by: Luke | April 11, 2005 at 11:42 PM
Not further confuse you, but I meant the last full paragraph, just to be clear.
