TET: What Have You Learned Today?

[Belligerent Alcoholics]

Now that you've put it this way, I have a feeling he's only been allowed in at all so he can be panem et circenses. People love a good scandal, and, so long as it has little or nothing to do with the powers that be, the powers that be over the powers that be are more than happy to provide. Keeps the illusion hidden, you know?

He could just be a secret agent created for the purposes of making Old Labour folks look like psychopaths and make people like New Labour more, when you think of it.

I hadn't thought about that... Makes a lot of sense though.

Gators! :3

The college football team, or the toothy predator?

Probably the former.

I figured as much, but simply couldn't resist

Now, if you were talking to Steve Irwin...

[The Truth and Light]

I just let my mother listen to a recitation of Surat Al-Fatihah, and of course, she thought it was beautiful.

That's good. I'm happy that she's being so supportive!

Thank you!

[Astrolinium]

I don't care about football and nothing good's on TV until the evening.
Besides, TV's no way to spend a day. Hell, the computer's no way to spend a day even though that's almost assuredly going to be most of what I do today, since it's so boring here.

That's all I'm going to do today... watch football on tv and talk about football on my computer. >_>

If I were at school I could text any number of my friends right now and at least one of them would be free. In fact, I probably would've gone to the caf at about noonish and would still be in there with my friends, laughing and talking.

This needs context. First off, Iceland is green and Greenland is Ice.

Not necessarily in respectively winter and summer.

This needs context. First off, Iceland is green and Greenland is Ice.

I know, right? I've always been confused by that. It's because Iceland's name comes from the Icelandic word for "island."

Context: I am travelling to Iceland.

Beautiful scenery, or so I've heard... but good luck standing on two feet when that wind kicks up!

I've been there before and I'm going again.

I can handle wind. I'm from Boston

And it's gorgeous. Austerely so.

One of my history teachers told me that it was because the settlers wanted Greenland to sound appealing so people would come, and wanted Iceland to sound barren so people would stay away.

Granted, she also told us that the pilgrims thought the world was flat, so take that with a grain of salt.

And Greenland's name is marketing.

Cool. I haven't done any traveling in the past two years, but I'm going to California next year.

Your teacher was right on Greenland.

She wasn't right on Iceland. In Icelandic, Iceland is "Iśland", which means, well, "island".

The pilgrims probably did. It was only the 16th Century.

Trivia time:
Chicago is called "The Windy City"
But Boston is windier (okay not that thrilling of a trivia bit, but still...)

She was correct with Greenland, but not with Iceland.


I'm also going to Oslo on the same trip, for the second time in my life.

[The Holy Therns]

I out-fab all of you.

Bitches.

Well, at least she got half of it right. That's more than you can say about most of her lessons.

Wrong. Iceland is more fabulous.

Sounds like my history textbook.

The teacher herself is okay, but the textbook is a mix of factual wrongs and propaganda.

[Mozzissey]

I still feel rather crappy about yesterday

My history textbook was okay. There were some obvious part-myth part-fact portions, but it wasn't horrible. The teacher herself was an idiot.
