@Windupbird-What makes me laugh about that comic is that my high school, over the past few years, has become more like the college. A lot of non-nerd-types bring in old Gameboys and Pokemon games a lot.
I have found that people revert to childhood when they go to college, it's totally awesome. It means that those people are now on my level.
I'm giving fair warning here: This will probably be more boring than a space shuttle launch.
However! If you are into science then an historic moment is going to be next tuesday when they intend to have first collisions at CERN. There will be a webcast, and to answer the inevitable question: yes, you will most definitely be a square.
It's just not practical, unfortunately. Square containers are uncomfortable to hold, circular bottles hold more liquid for the materials used, it's hard to package pressurized stuff in non-circular containers, this won't work with most vending machines, it won't fit in cup holders, the shape of the Coke bottle is iconic (not to mention patented)...
Check this cool convergence of things: I recently discovered that the high school I sub at most of the time has an anime club. I also uncovered during spring cleaning that I still have a pile of anime posters that used to wallpaper my dorm room that, sadly, I can't in good concience wallpaper my study with and still consider myself an adult*. I found out that the club also as a staff member who manages it, whom I went to see today so I could give the posters to her so she could give them good homes with the students. She was very excited and greatful and said the kids would love them and make perfect prizes. Not only do I now have a standing invitation to the club (volunteering at a school would look very nice on my resume) but I found out they are going on a field trip soon.
"Where to?", you may ask? Toracon...at Arr to the Eye to the motherfucking Tee. I had to contain my inner squealing fanboy and barely prevented myelf from gushing nostalgia all over the woman, but let her know all about my alma mater's anime club and we had a nice conversation.
*I know, I know. I barely act like an adult, but I've made a promise to try. Also, your mechanic is a pony.

Nice idea, though.
