Teacher Teaches Kid a Lesson

The following is a trick a professor played on a little annoying kid. I have never taken any computer classes in college, but we all know how there is always that one annoying, little… Anyways, here it is.

So I’ve been a professor at this ‘little school’ for a while now. I love my job. My classes contain students from all age groups. I have a few 17 year old high schoolers that are here because they are bored during the summer. I have a few seasoned folks that have IT experience. I also have a few people that are clearly here just for the three credit hours.

The classroom is set up in a ‘lab’ environment. Each student has a PC in front of them that netboots linux from a central box located near my desk at the front of the classroom. This setup works great because the students come into the classroom every day, power on their PC, and they get the exact OS load and lesson they need for our session. Not to gloat, but I designed it this way and I’m the envy of a few other professors *cough* windows instructors *cough*.

I have this one student that I’ll call “Pima”. Yes, that’s an acronym. Click to continue reading…

It is only $86.95 which is a SUPER deal. Get it while it’s hot!

fat white guys vs. vibrators: round one

South Carolina Representative Davenport VS BZZZZZZ. Courtesy of va-va-voom.net.

Okay, Chris told me not to make things too political here, and of course the first thing I’m writing has to do with politics. But it also has to do with sex, so hopefully you’re paying attention anyway. After all, what do college students think about more than sex? Or maybe that’s just me. In any case, read on…

A state representative in South Carolina has introduced a bill that would ban the sale of “devices used for sexual stimulation” throughout the state. Not only would they be banned, it would actually be a felony, punishable by massive fines and five years in prison. Several states already have such bans (shockingly, Utah isn’t one of them–more than likely because, just like SC Representative Davenport, none of our legislators know what a vibrator is); South Carolina would be the fifth in the nation. Right now, the bill is in committee; it remains to be seen what kind of support it will garner.

This one fits the bill, and has a perpetual calendar meaning the date is always set correctly. No need to keep changing it at the end of every month. For just $54.79 (original price: $85.00) who can complain?
