Tampa Bay’s 10 talked to the assistant superintendent with the Pasco County School District who said it wasn’t just the wizardry and that Picular had other performance issues, including “not following lesson plans” and allowing students to play on unapproved computers.

I would have fired him if he wasn’t actually teaching but instead just winging it ALL. THE. TIME. Whilst it’s acceptable to do fun things once in a while, it sounds like him letting the kids do their own thing in order to avoid teaching is the greater issue. The magic trick was just the ‘last stick’.

With the no-eggs-during-lent rules, Easter eggs came natually. You had little choice but to eat huge amounts of eggs for Easter, because the chickens keep laying during lent…

Perhaps even more disturbingly, my boyfriend’s mother (a well-educated, intelligent woman) once got an automatic email reply from a mailer-daemon and was convinced that there was an actual demon in her computer sending her email.

Sometimes I think us liberals are living in a freaking cave.

Ducks commit mass rape. Cats eat their young. Chimpanzees stalk, torture and kill other chimpanzees.

Honest to pete, my sister once told me she had severe misgivings about letting her children dye easter eggs. She heard from a lady at church who heard it from a friend of a friend, etc… that easter eggs were pagan! and that the red ones used to be dyed in the blood of babies sacrificed to some pagan deity. She was genuinely concerned for their souls. Because of a Paas Easter Egg Dyeing Kit.

I have a friend right now who says that when she was younger, her mom (*very* fundamentalist Christian, from my understanding) wouldn’t let them celebrate Easter (even, as far as I can tell, the RELIGIOUS part) because it was “pagan”.

(sorry if this double posts, I think the anti-spam ate the first try)

Actually, this kind of sick behavior is uniquely human. Animals don’t do this kind of sh!t to one another.
