OMG Titanic director James Cameron is on a deep sea dive to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean as I’m typing this. He’s racing multimillionaire explorer Richard Branson in what they’re calling the Deep Challenge. Branson is using a Triton submarine and president Patrick Lahey said, ”We’re interested in getting more people to give a shit about the ocean.” Triton is currently building subs to open deep sea exploring to the public and aims to have the special subs ready by next year.

According to National Geographic, if James Cameron makes it, “the National Geographic explorer and filmmaker should become the first human to reachthe Mariana Trench’s Challenger Deep alone—and the only one to explore it in depth, in person.” James Cameron is traveling in a lime green one-seater submarine. Follow his progress on Twitter @DeepChallenge! Here are some awesome tweets:

A few minutes ago he passed the Titanic’s depth on his dive down: “@JimCameron just passed the #Titanic depth at around 4,305 meters #deepseachallenge“

- “I only tweet when I have something worth saying. Today is the culmination of a 7-year project.  It’s finally dive day. Follow us @DeepChallenge“

A few summers ago I shared an apartment with 5 other girls while we all worked on campus giving tours and orientating incoming freshmen.

I didn’t know any of them going into the summer, but by the time August rolled around we were good friends and there was a few things that had slipped into my sub-conscious:

1) Hummus and pita chips is a suitable replacement for any meal.

2) Cockroaches can find their way into your fridge if you don’t clean.

3) If you see a guy who’s totally hot, but old enough to be your dad you can slyly alert your friends to it by saying “Hog!”

What is a H.O.G.? A Hot Old Guy.
