My first thought: damn, it's too bad my friend Aaron's dead. B/c that picture -alone- would've gotten a laugh. He'd'a been happy for days after seeing that.

I may have to send it to his sister. She will adore it, too.

I had a student write in an exam (I guess I shouldn't post this here):

"During the medieval period there were many churches, nuns, and monasteries. This is true because there were less people who committed crimes or did bad stuff."

It made me so sad. But then this car made me happier.

I'm sure you've seen this. He's also come out with a book on the subject, which you can find here.

Yeah, I've seen that. And it's amusing. I just felt ... I just felt that at this particular college I wouldn't have to quite deal with that level of achievement. Oh well. I'm passed it. I just read a stellar exam in which not only did the student do a brilliant job analyzing the excerpt, but she included funny comments which were both germane and amusing.

It's photoshopped. But still, a great job and very amusing. :)

Some guy here says the photo is his, and provided the original.

Don't give me the truth! I can't handle the truth! I have decided that the Kitty Ferarri is merrily crusing the streets of Tokyo!
