That sounds interesting - and challenging, for a high school class.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Important point! No actual high school students will be harmed in this experiment! This is for my Culture of High School class -- design an exhibition guide (which is to say, an assignment which is meant to make students really use knowledge they've gained) and then submit a sample exhibition (which is to say, now pose as a student and do the assignment).
The challenging thing is kind of a balancing problem. I mean, I want it to be challenging, and also stretch boundaries of what they'd expect a math assignment to be, but I also don't want it to be a flight of fancy (i.e., I don't want them to say, uh, no way high school students could do this).

Okay, also? Internet is evil. In searching for information on Gauss's Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, I found a listing for a first edition, 1801. 38,000 pounds.

Okay, just switched over from Lost to West Wing, and Dule Hill has a beard. He looks damned good in a beard. Like a young, bearded Avery Brooks.

YAY! Charlie and Zoe are back together!
(And President Bartlett busted Charlie coming out of Zoe's bedroom, HEE!)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Should that be whitefonted?
Did anyone watch Eyes? How was it?

Perkins, I kinda watched it while playing literati. Which means that I have no idea what happened during the ep.
But Tim Daly is very nice to look at from time to time.

Very true.
Hey, I can play literati with you guys this week!

I'm going to attempt to go to bed now. If anybody has any ideas about my math assignment, please email my profile address!
