Block 1, Group meetingI've been on CollegeHumor reading articles by this guy Streeter Seidell. He gets students to send in stupid questions. So I've been laughing, and crying, because I'm laughing so hard.
I'm reading aloud "Foreign aid to Bolivia" off Wikipedia, to help out Redhead Girl. This is after I've offered Redhead Girl about five times to switch topics with her, to no intelligible response.
Redhead Girl: [angrily] Why do you get to do the party politics of Bolivia when I have to do international intervention? I just don't get it. You obviously know so much more about the humanitarian issues than I do. World Bank? Evo Morales? All that stuff you just said? Tons! I don't know ANYTHING about foreign aid whatsoever and you do!
Me: . . . . . . .

The teacher was talking about the smooth musket which allowed attackers to be about 100 feet away from the defenders without getting injured. Once at 100 yards the attackers could charge the defenders.
Valedictorian: Is this the origin of the 100 yard dash?
Professor: And marketers took the NASA invention "Tang" and made it a popular drink
Stephen Hawking: Who even likes Tang? Seriously, Orange flavored Milk?
Professor: I believe it's supposed to be mixed with water.
Stephen Hawking: Oh, I guess that really clears up a lot.
