poor amych, isn't dyslexic.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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 The drugs are given based on the disruptive/withdrawn/disorganized behavior that is associated with undiagnosed dyslexia in the classroom, not for the dyslexia itself.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.

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

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.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Wow. I'm looking at the licensure requirements, and apparently to teach middle school math you're expected to know Algebra, Euclidean geometry, Trigonometry, Discrete/finite mathematics, Introductory calculus through integration, and History of mathematics. Actually, I agree that you should know these things, but... is the implication here that you would teach these things in middle school?
And here I thought my middle school was pretty nifty. We never even got past algebra!

amych, it's a dyslexia joke...
I assumed it was a gay joke. I couldn't figure out quite *how* it was a gay joke, mind, but that's where my mind tends to go when the words "Tom Cruise" and "top" are juxtaposed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom Cruise isn't gay! My vitamins tell me so.

Here's my next putting-off-the-shower question: does some spammer actually think that I will be fooled by the familiarity of the "Hiya!" subject line into opening an email from "Federals G. Junketed"?
ETA: Or "Wilbur L. Thoroughgoing"?
EATA: Or "Mutineer J. Wriest" just because he says, winningly, "You don't know me form Adam"?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Algebra, Euclidean geometry, Trigonometry, Discrete/finite mathematics, Introductory calculus through integration, and History of mathematics
I did all these in middle school (except maybe discrete/finite math), but I was in the most advanced group of a math/science magnet program. (These days, I can barely count to ten, but in middle school, I was SMRT!)

ita, I hate to break it to you, but if your vitamins are talking to you, you've got big problems. Also, I think your vitamins might be big liars.
