Q: 59% of people say that this is the worst thing a kid can get in the trick or treat bag - what?
A: popcorn ball

I am dangerously close... to making a video

And this time I mean it.  I know, I've threatened this in the past, but this time I think I have no choice.  This morning I realized how unbelievably helpful I am.  If you would have asked me, even a week ago, 'Hey Veig, do you realize how unbelievably helpful you are?'  I would have had to say, 'No, I really don't.'  But now I can't say that anymore--because I am--unbelievably helpful.  Thanks to the brilliant research done by the University of Rochester, I discovered that all the hand-gesturing I do when I talk actually helps people, not to mention my own self, with recalling information.  So, here I am, about to make a video, so that I can help the countless millions who have been unable, up until this point, to not only  effectively communicate, but in turn help others the same way I have for years and didn't know it.  For instance, my video will help you effectively use your hands, and other features, get a point across rather than be confused with someone who is drowning or having a seizure.  Don't settle for 'arms flaling madly' as useful, meaningful hand-gesturing any longer!  Possibly get my video if I make it: The Art and Science of Hand-Gestering Made So Simple You'll Improve Your Memory, Master Foreign Languages and Win Big In Real Estate'.  Okay, so the title needs tweaking... but don't you feel the power already?
