Hi ho, hi ho.

It's off to school we go. *whistles tiredly* Bah, sleepy this morning. I really need to start going to bed at 10ish so I can have a decent sleep. Waking up at 6:30 every morning is just so wrong. But, on the plus side, this week is almost over, and I get a 4 day weekend. But until then, it's off to physics and physics lab with me. Woo.

*applauds till his hands bleed*

You know, fater reading this article, it makes me want to go out and start changing things. Hell, makes me want to be a teacher almost, just so I could try to do what this guy is talking about. In fact, it makes me want to go up to whoever my history teacher is when I have to take it in a semester or two and ask him or her if learning dates really is going to help us; if he or she can't change things up so we can actually learn important events and the whys and hows. I'd do it with my math teachers, but they at least try to equate what we do in real life.

What the guy talks about is so very true, it makes me a tad sad I didn't get taught like that. I mean, there are so many classes in which I don't remember jack from, and I got A's in those classes, yet I can remember hundreds of lines from the Simpsons and can 8-9 times out of 10 tell you what the entire episode will be in the first minute, and sometimes even in the first ten seconds. Our memories don't learn boring crap that's not important to us, and the way this guy speaks of making it work for us is just brilliant.

Speaking of aliens...

The last day or few has had several posts and news items on signals to and from space, and it got me thinking. I think it would be hilarious if, in the odd chance of life actually existing elsewhere in the universe, the signals we beam out to "phone e.t." ended up killing them all, or irreparably damaging their existence or something of the sort. I mean, yeah, such frequencies for us don't harm us that we know of, bt what if they had a special kind of hearing and we ended up popping all their alien eardrums, or getting the exact right frquency or whatever to liquify their internal organs? I'd think it ironically delicious to one day in the far future go into deep space, only to find that we've caused mass genocides trying to contact them all...
