I think To Kill A Mockingbird was the last genuinely interesting book I read in high school.
I don't think we were made to read
any interesting books in high school, apart from maybe Of Mice and Men which is more of a booklet.
We had endless, boring accounts of Australian history and rainbow snakes and shit, as well as especially-awful garbage like something called "Lockie Leonard", some truly moronic novel depicting someone's idea of what a typical Australian teenager was like. Well, sure, for all I know maybe they were (I doubt it), but even if that was the case the book had certainly lost any shred of relevance by whatever post-2000 year it was that we read it.
This was our teachers' attempt to teach us about things like healthy relationships, safe sex and abstinence, too. Gj, school. O.o
I don't remember even seeing any rubbers on bananas. As for books in general, it got to the point that I became adept at skimming online synopses of rubbishy books and whipping up fresh reviews from those. Of course, this didn't help when we were expected to read the damn things in class... good thing I was usually absent!
Maybe. There was also the idea to burn it as a replacement for coal and firewood. Also probably a decent idea, what with bio-fuels. Likely not in his line of thinking though.
I'd vote for him. Hemp is so incredibly useful as a material for construction and tailoring, I wouldn't be surprised if fuel was amongst its many uses. ...Also his campaign platform would have endless comedic potential.
...Ha, potential. I'm a goddamn genius.
Man, I have missed so many pages of this thread. Were there any more tangents I've forgotten to reply to? The "shaved nether regions" thing?
Well, shaving down there seems rather strange to me, but assuming that people who shave it regularly are incredibly promiscuous seems a bit, well, presumptuous. I imagine once one begins to shave down there, they keep doing it. Some people like to shave more regularly than others, maybe even the slightest stubble down there begins to irritate them. Hell, I know stubble annoys me if I happen to glance in a mirror and see more than a tiny bit of it.
But all of this is just speculation, clearly we need to lock a whole bunch of shaved and natural volunteers into a large bedroom for an indefinite, wild orgy lasting for days, weeks or even months as the experiment demands, letting them stop only to rest, eat plenty of nutritious foods/supplements to keep their energy up and, of course, shave their pubes, in the case of the former group.
FOR SCIENCE.
