Also, I dreamed last night that I was teaching a math class and had some time to kill so told them they could ask me about anything. They asked me about modernism, and I had to try to remember the details of my senior year seminar from eleven years ago.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Rick, you have no tagline! (For posterity: )
You're such an enigma.

OK- I JUST got the Top. I was thinking it had something to do with Top Gun

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I still don't.

Paul Walker is definitely wet in that photo. Wet, and yum.
What would you all say "generals" mean in terms of college classes?
I also think she probably means general requirements, and that she should rethink transferring to a school that doesn't offer an accounting major. I wonder how she managed to get to the point of actually transferring without noticing the school didn't have the major she wanted?

I believe the substance of the joke is to assume that dyslexia might reverse letter order, rather than just letter orientation.
Also, apparently I need to know non-Euclidean geometry in order to teach high school math. Um. Do I know non-Euclidean geometry?

poor amych, isn't dyslexic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
amych, it's a dyslexia joke...
Kids with dyslexia are often (mis)treated with stimulant drugs, or antidepressants, or even antipsychotics. The drugs are given based on the disruptive/withdrawn/disorganized behavior that is associated with undiagnosed dyslexia in the classroom, not for the dyslexia itself. Assuming that Tom was as likely to be misdiagnosed as often as other boys of his generation, I suspect that his is right about this.
Ah, OK then. At least there's some small shred of sense-making.

Do I know non-Euclidean geometry?
Sure. Stuff that happens on the surface of a sphere - Great Circles are the equivalent of lines, and cannot be parallel to one another.
