Oz ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I cannot tell you how much work I had to do with my legal writing students about basic grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. And they would get angry with me when I marked them down for it.
Yeah, I would think that any non-basic-English class that has 'writing' in the title would require basic grammar, punctuation, etc. proficiency.
Blah blah kids these days blah what is the world coming to?
I need to know more about the Sacha Baron Cohen/Hugh Laurie subway ride. Like, was it immediately after SNL?

Guess they were headed to a bar. HL is like a hero!

I need to know more about the Sacha Baron Cohen/Hugh Laurie subway ride. Like, was it immediately after SNL? (I.e., in the middle of the night on the weekend) Or did they keep hanging out together after? Or did Hugh Laurie just happen by?
I am suspicious about just hearing about this two weeks after it happened, but the Sun has your details: [link]
ETA: WTF?!
Cohen cried out for help, but his pleas were ignored and he was repeatedly hit. Hello, he was in New York!
megan, please! Tag away!
What am I missing about the premise of Borat? It's basically Punk'd, isn't it?

I've been feeling like the only person in the world who has no interest in seeing it. Every time I see a commercial for it, I want to stick needles in my eyes and run screaming from the room. I don't get it.
By way of PZ, I just found the website of Jonathan Coulton, a musician who seems to specialize in humorous and geeky songs. The music is good; the lyrics are absolutely fantastic.
Just to give you an idea, here's the lyrics for the first verse:
Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
And the Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born
Page has music in it but for me it doesn't play automatically.
The boys want to see Borat, bad, but I just have no interest. I should have sent them with GF when she went to see it. It really isn't my thing. My 12 & 14 yo boys, their thing.
