What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

offers to make my sperm taste better

Cherry flavored? Grape? Diet sperm?

It the New Sperm®, although they probably ought to talk to the Coca Cola marketing people about it first before investing heavily.

Apparently half my town was without power yesterday afternoon while I was sitting in front of my air conditioner. Probably not my fault.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Plus, isn't Coke a spermicide?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

is that the size of a palm as well?

Uncoincidentally, yes. It's much less clearly delineated today -- I wish I'd thought to look right after the test. It must have looked cool. Or something.

That's where I was complaining about (in fact, I linked to them just upthread) the price/shipping ratio.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

At least the instant summer has abated slightly. I just can't deal with summer when it gets dropped on me like an anvil.

Word. But have you heard about tomorrow?

From looking at those requirements, it looks like what they're requiring for each level is that you know one level higher than what you'd probably be teaching, and that you know the subjects that are the more abstract concepts behind the more concrete things you'd be teaching.

Yeah, that totally makes sense. I'm just worried about my brushing-up skills. Well, I'll download the test booklet and then see if I can't send out feelers to other people in the program about a study group (maybe email my advisor, since he seems to be the math-teacher-advisor-at-large). And we'll see.

So. point. Um, teachers not knowing the subject they teach=bad. Teachers who know the subject but cannot teach=bad. Or something.

Word. Was the not-knowing-algebra teacher good at teaching otherwise? Or could you not tell? I've heard a whole lot of horror stories about people who knew their subject but couldn't teach to save their lives. That's actually why I'm doing this -- because my CS teachers mostly couldn't teach, and it got me thinking.

when I went through, the shipping was like $3.60 or somesuch.

So they didn't get the memo that they were supposed to teach gym?

Wow, those are pretty. But no! I don't need one! Really....

No! I watched the Mythbusters on that one. Apparently it's a really good chrome cleaner, but that's about the only myth they proved.
