Today one of my students suggested that we build a monument to Hitler, because he killed himself, and the guy who killed Hitler deserves a monument for doing so.  Apparently, this is a fairly well-known joke, but I had never heard it before, and nearly fell down laughing.

He then proceeded to ask if he could write his government final on insane false things that Republicans believe about Obama.

Do you teach high school? Because your job sounds like a daily dose of fun.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Gifted kids, grades 5-12.  That particular class is high school, though the student is only 11.

Headline on STV News website today: 'Extreme pornography' man found with indecent images of octopuses.

Yeah, not exactly a proud day in our history.

Oh, please. Dd you see the way that octopus was dressed?
Oh, you take the high road, and I'll take the low road...

My mother did not CHOOSE life. She planned for it.

Is that weird monkey-creature-looking-thing supposed to be a BLACK MAN?

Yeah, it was that octopus's choice to spread its legs.

I know, right? How can any journalist who expects to be taken seriously not know that the correct pluralisation is "octopodae".

Oh, please. -ae plurals are for words of Latin origin ending in -a, of which octopus is neither. Clearly, it's "octopodes".

I can't decide which I should re-watch while tv is on hiatus. TOS, TNG, or Babylon 5. I don't feel like torturing myself, so Voyager and Enterprise aren't options.

Flip a three-sided coin?

I have actually never seen any Star Trek or Babylon 5. I'm the worst nerd.

I have no three sided coin(that would be interesting to see), or die. And you so need to watch those shows.
