Obviously knowing how to read and add were not as important to taking the SATs as one might imagine.
As long as you're able to eliminate any obviously wrong answers from the start, anything can happen.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jess, we're totally SAT twins, as well as first-part-of-name-twins!
WAIT. Are you the reason I'm all nauseous (nauseated, I know, I know) today? Because I am NOT the one having the baby!!!

I am feeling surprisingly un-urky today. So um, sorry!

True fact.
OK, I will take this one for the team, but that's it.

If I remember correctly, the Verbal portion of the SAT was a slam-dunk for me (800, woo!), and the Math involved a lot of cursing and praying because my Calculus teacher was of the "turn my back and write problems on the white board without bothering to explain what the hell I'm doing or why."
I had the same Calculus professor in college, only he openly mocked me for asking what he considered to be stupid questions.
I liked and was good at math right up until Calculus. I blame those two guys for ruining math for me.

Here's the story...of the dying TV theme song
I saw that article. At least "House" and "Bones" have theme songs.

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

I'm not gonna bother. After all, if I get killed by a velociraptor then it's God's will and there's nothing I can do about it.

When buying a new home, there are a few things to look out for when assessing potential velociraptor attacks:
1. Check all doors and windows. Doors should be made of solid oak or steel. Windows should have steel bars with spacing smaller than the average raptor.
2. Make sure all entryways have adequate deadbolts. Quality deadbolts may be purchased at your local Home Depot.
3. Always keep a loaded big-game rifle under your bed, and tire irons near every door. Remember, you should never be farther than 20 feet away from a tire iron.

I thank God for my college math prof, who was also the head of the department. She was great about stopping her explanation of whatever if she spotted a confused look on a student, even in a classroom of 100 students, and saying, "What don't you get, because I won't go on until you understand it." It was probably one of the lower levels of math (basically pre-calc), so I was surprised to find out the head of the dept. was teaching it, but she was wonderful!
