I was watching some Patriots highlights tonight, and after the game they were wearing shirts that said "AFC Conference Champions". American Football Conference Conference Champions?? Huh?

PIN is just PIN..Not PIN number. Personal Identification Number Number. It annoys me.


Thanks for reading, enjoy your Angelos bashing..

At Penn, you can apply to be a BFS Scholar. What does BFS stand for? Benjamin Franklin Scholar :confused:
