After today's heat and rain, the neekerbreekers in the swamps or RIT are quite noisy tonight. So I get a rather pleasant soundtrack for doing my calc homework to.

[penguinofhonor]

God, that sounds good. Too bad the place is three hours away.

That's unfortunate. The one in Louisville is only like 20 minutes away from me.

[Bauglir]

I just ate an entire pizza. Yes.

[kaijyuu]

Probably one of those mini pizzas!

[Bauglir]

Well, it was only 12 inches in diameter. I'm a cheapskate.

[Descan]

Only 12 inches?

I...

No comment.

I just had the most wonderful realisation.
In Hogwarts, did they ever teach maths? Did they teach literature? Did they teach computer science, or art? I can understand them not going into science, I guess, but would business studies be that bad? What about music, or even sex ed? Did they ever get taught any of these most fundamental aspects of muggle life? No, they were too busy learning about spells and potions and means of travel that would most likely leave you unable to have children.
So remember folks, next time you meet somebody who seems dumb as a brink, and has trouble figuring out how much change they should give when you order a coffee, just remember this; it is because they are a wizard!

I just ate a large pizza. By myself. In 15 minutes.

Today I discovered the cassowary. I am pretty sure that it is the coolest bird.

You think they are cool, until you are running for your life through middle earth being chased by feathered raptors.
Not so cool then!

[MaximumZero]

Does it taste like chicken?

They did teach mathematics, actually (though magical mathematics or some rot like that) and no doubt some forms of art (re: Portraits) were taught at some level. Obviously not computer science, though. Rowling didn't exactly go into much detail on the scutwork of the society she threw together, though.

As for literature, the whole education was probably based around the magical equivalent of crap like the Tractatus. They probably didn't need much extra there

Anyway,the rest of it's what we have fanfiction for! To rend your mind and soul, whee

Well, there's only one way to find out! Who's with me to a trip of New Guinea?

I did say I was a cheapskate. I already paid 18 bucks for mine, with tip. So I'm making up the difference with carbonated beverages. Although I can't match your speed, that's impressive.

Also, speaking of Harry Potterverse Education...
