"You go to jail and they give you consequences for the most stupidest things ever."

"Do you ever use math? At all?"

"If school wasn't invented everyone would be so much smarter."

"How much [unintelligible] would you be exposed to if you went into the REAL WORLD and did a REAL JOB instead of sitting at a desk controlling kids minds?"

[How do you know you're not gonna need any of this when you're older? Do you already know what job you're gonna have?] "I'm not gonna work when I'm older because it's stupid."

Do you go to school with Jaden Smith? Because.... that third one. That's pretty much exactly a thing he has said.
I will agree with the first one though. In a good number of cases the law is arbitrary and silly.

Aside from being exactly 600 years ago, what is the significance of 1414?

Not much happened that year, really.

[Gentlefish]

1214 is much more interesting. That's the year that the Mongols took over China.

Found it.

What about 1976? Jimmy Carter attacked by giant rabbit! The only historical event worth memorising with the date.

It requires math outside of school to understand its significance >u>

[Gentlefish]

Wait wasn't Carter the Cat President?

Also, turns out Chuck Taylor was born on my birthday. And like, three popes have died.

Relevant (always)
Also, apparently it was 1979 not 1976 (pedantic).

[Arx]

I guess it was 1979, then.

Believe it or not, I know that from a junior high history class, not xkcd. I am the minor trivia divinity.

...you learned that Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit in a South African history class? xD

The wikipedia page is literally titled "The Jimmy Carter Rabbit Incident". That's awesome.

There's also, apparently, the H.G. Busch Vomiting Incident. And someone from my lovely home state of Idaho said he died.

I am an idiot. I've tried to look up microphotographies of bacteria for my microbiology lab report. Including Staphylococcus aureus. On Google Image Search. Do the math :V

Protip: Tack "microscope" at the end of diseases when searching them unless you want to vomit.
