Obama’s Barackets Not Nearly as Busted as Most People’s After Day 3

After Day 3 of the NCAA March Madness tournament, not counting the play ins that don’t contribute toward the ESPN brackets, President Barack Obama’s Barackets are a bit busted like most people’s. He did have Duke, and he didn’t have Dayton or Connecticut, being the big upsets so far, but most other people seemed to be in the same boat.

President Obama’s Barackets

My brackets, sadly, is only in the 71.2 percentile now. However, just like the parody that exists in college basketball, that also seems to be the case among bracket entries.

To be more correct, I wanted to know if I had the correct configuration of this gene. Everybody has this gene. It’s just a matter of which configuration it was in to enable the benefit of physical speed and power.

Transformers Facebook Timeline Profile Cover Photos (High Quality)

I have a TON of Transformers graphics on this website! However, none of them are in the awkwardly sized Facebook Timeline Cover photo format, so I’m going to start converting them for people’s uses! They are in the gallery below, which will grow as I find time to convert more and more. I’ll take off the “growing collection” notice when I am done. There are going to about a couple of hundred of these Transformers Facebook timeline cover photos for your use by the end of February, I hope, so please come back for more once in a while. After all, you can only use one at a time. 🙂
