(Multiple choices are welcome, mostly because I won't be able to keep it to just one.) I have none although diamonds are always welcome.

October 5-6 (Weekend Quest): Get out and enjoy Fall, take a picture of Fall prettiness and show us. Fall is wet and gray, there are a few sunnier days coming though. Since we were on vacation at Gran Canaria is wouldn't be a Fall pic, it was still like summer there!

As long as you don’t stick to the textbooks they give you in school Bizarre history is everywhere, especially the kind that will keep the attention of teenagers*. You have to work to make history boring. But a set of perverse incentives has made history textbook writers work very hard to do exactly that. Textbook history is written to appease as many school boards as possible. So American History books (for example) will have at least two pages on every president (even John Tyler ), so that they can sell to the state from which the president came (Virginia buys a lot of books). * E.g.: Friedrich August I, Elector of Saxony, was a champion fox flinger and fathered perhaps as many as 400 children, one of which was even legitimate. He bribed his way into becoming the King of Poland (as Augustus II, the Strong), twice. And his court alchemist was responsible for the first European creation of true porcelain. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inarah Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 2 hours ago, aku-chan said: Down with homework! Urgh... The sheer number of hours I spent in detention and isolation because I never did mine. I don't know what moron decided kids had to be at school at 7am to start classes half asleep, but by my junior year of high school I had given up trying. It helped that my first period history teacher was an arrogant jerk who liked to belittle students. So I would wander in just before 2nd period, report myself Tardy to the front office and go to class. I racked up more detentions than the dope smokers and trouble makers, then used the time to read or do homework. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but would you rather be near a 10d6 fireball or 100kg of torpex when it went off?

I was a hard kid to punish. Take away my video games? Okay, I'll read. I was very go with the flow, and it made life at least a little difficult for my parents and teachers. Yep, that sounds like teenage me. My parents didn't particularly care (neither of them even finished high school, so they thought getting an education was a complete waste of time), but my school was determined to get me to do my homework no matter what. Unfortunately for them, I'd figured out, fairly early on, that I could be grade C student with no effort whatsoever, so I wasn't going to budge. Of course it all blew up in my face, but it seemed like a good plan at the time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
