Formspring me up.

That Formspring thingy-ma-bobbit in the sidebar there has mostly turned into a place for my friends to post random unfunny-to-the-general-population comments, cluing me into who they are based on particular inside jokes. But there's a bit legit in there. You all make good use of it now. For your amusement (in giant horrific font because I'm an idiot who can't figure out how to change it):

Do you now accept that William Bennett, of WHiTEHOUSE fame, is not a homosexual?

I never *said* he was a homosexual -- I was simply open to the possibility. And I maintain that he probably is as well. (Open to the possibility, that is.)

Not a stupid question at all. It's quite confusing to someone who isn't already working in the PS system. My third graders are equal to the US 9th grade, or first year of high school. Here, the grades go up to 6 in elementary school, then start over in junior high, which is 1, 2 and 3, and then again in high school. So my third graders are US age 14 to 16, depending on the time of year.

What's your favourite type of sword?

A double-edged one.

Why can't Elephants jump?

I've heard it's because their feet are not flexible enough, but, as we all know, horses' hooves aren't exactly flexible, so that can't be the only reason. I would imagine it would have something to do with a combination of leg length/circumference and center of gravity due to body bulk. But that's just a guess.

A whosit whatsit? Easier for you all? Nothing makes anything easier for me because I'm a technological idiot, but if that's a request, I'll get right on! Cha!
