Cereal to ask Brenda--did you get into the honors program after that class?
Nah, I transferred to McGill instead.
ETA: But I didn't take any of the big lecture classes anyway. I was in a, um, rebuilding phase to get some good grades that would get me into somwhere else after getting rusticated from my first university. (And dude, it was almost worth it just because of the term. Love.) So I had shit like 8 AM Political Theory classes with only six students in them that I *could not* miss or fail to kick ass in. Fun.
Oh my. This is so Evil and Wrong. I'll feel bad for anyone who gets fooled:
A new reality TV show is aiming to pull off the biggest hoax in TV history - by persuading a group of Britons that they have been blasted into space
The new Channel 4 series Space Cadets has been under wraps since the idea first came about 18-months ago.
Nine people will be told they are set to visit the final frontier as space tourists and that in preparation they will undergo intensive training in Russia courtesy of the Space Tourism Agency of Russia, but in reality the groups will be "trained" for space in a disused airbase in a secret location in the UK.
Unbeknown to them, their shuttle will be a Hollywood creation, made originally for the film Space Cowboys.
A giant custom-built screen positioned just outside the shuttle will, it is hoped, provide the illusion of a view of Earth from space including a hurricane over Mexico and a glimpse of the UK on one day when cloud cover parts.
But you know, if you know anything at all about space travel you'd know it was a hoax.

WOW. I must watch this.
[eta: But really, would what they're describing work on anyone who's ever been in a plane before? I mean, the total lack of cabin pressure change would be kind of a major tip-off.]
But you know, if you know anything at all about space travel you'd know it was a hoax.
And you've found reality show contestants generally to be the educated and astute types?

Well yeah, but how many people
don't
know that you're weightless while in earth orbit?
It reminds me of the parody of Playboy that a guy in my dorm thought was real. Lady Di was the nude centerfold. I mean, c'mon. If you think of the implications of Lady Di posing nude for Playboy, you'd realize it didn't happen.
But.... but it's Wrong!
Sometimes Wrong Things must be Watched. It's just the way they are.
Bubbles confuse the hell out of my cat.

You should send it into space and sell the footage to Channel 4.
