Is Memorial Day weekend over already?

Couldn’t resist!

I find Hammies cuter the more I look!

Ham-STAR!

Hey, Poster #5 today!! Whoohhoooo!!

I never realized these little critters had so many whiskers!!!! and look at those teeny feet!! Oh cuteness abounds!!

awwww, why can’t i major in cute. my disertation could be on this guy!

…and throw in words like “Interdisciplinary” and “Paradigms.”

Such a cute button nose!! “snorgle”…I wufs this wittle guy!!

Speaking of cute research.. Is there energy involved? Because then I could use it in physics

Joule per kitten?

Do I hear a hesistant, small-voiced “bawoo?” along with the first photo? I think I do.

er… insert “what” between “here’s” and “I” there…

Aww, perfect way to describe how I feel… Let’s extend the weekend another day for this little cutie.

pheral, you know that show-and-tell would…nay, must…be a part of your presentation.

i can just imagine it. setting people paper-based tasks and then whipping out hamsters at random moments, and recording the speed with which they do the task compared to those with no hamster exposure.

‘course, will have to consider confounding variables such as length of hamster fur, content of cheek pouches, cuteness of posture at time of exposure…

Lmao! aha, but no, that’s another condition. the control group is the group doing the tasks with no additional stimuli at all. But another condition is a must, i agree! Then we’d need preliminary experiments on measuring the cuteness factor of bananas, and shoes. Some people might find bananas cute, then we gots ourselves a confounding variable we need to remove.

man, cute-ology would be the best ology ever.

yes, then we’d be dealing with the effects of cute withdrawl for those participants that got the fruit instead of the hammy!! lol.

i can feel ideas hatching, an experiment is forming in my head… i need more practise with statistics anyway, so i might go ahead and conduct the first cute-ologist experiment!

That is the cutest quick release gel-cap I’ve ever seen.

Does Akagami-san have the cutest hamsters in the Entire World, or is it just me? BTW I think the controlled productivity study is brilliant. I am convinced my office productivity would go up if I were regularly exposed to live hamsters during the day.

Don’t forget that every self-respecting dissertation title in humanities has to:

1. Have a colon somewhere in the middle, and

2. Consist of a run-on sentence about 3 to 4 lines long at the rate of 72 chars per line.

Something like this:

Interdisciplinary Paradigms: An Exploration of Thoughts and Feelings Arisen from Exposure to Juvenile Animals in Digital Formats and Its Effects on the Recent Feminist Interpretations of Post-Colonial Discourse.

Honours Thesis–
To Squee is Human: aspects of interconnectivity bridging anthropomorphic aesthetical fantasy and early 21st-century decline in free-trade zone labour productivity.

or, to go with another literary reference: “To Squee or Not to Squee:” etc etc.

And every page must be *at least* half footnotes. It’s obligatory.

CO could be your primary source.

(I’m still trying to force myself to read my bro-in-law’s doctoral thesis, but every time I see all the footnotes, I start feeling faint…)

Jaypo — I read that, but I don’t recall any mention of chocolate in the job description (?)

The Dream Office should be *built* of chocolate.

Footnotes are evil. My tutor counts footnotes in the wordcount, so they kinda hide down the bottom while you write, and then you find out at the end that you have ten bazillion words.
::has traumatic flashbacks::

*Footnotes in the wordcount*? wow.

Phr – u cn js tk in txt n nyms n drv evr1 crzy s vy fun.

Awww, look at his wittle nose )

Yummm. I’ll take the dark chocolate, plus one hammie to go, please!
