What Have We Learned Today?

What have we learned today, children?
  • Google's corporate motto is: "Don't be evil."  (Actually learned today in Intro to Radio and Television.)
  • Brits have one-act plays in pubs, not live music.
  • Travel to “wherever” – it will “broaden your persona.”  Except Mexico.  Don’t go there.
  • He needs the e-mail number for hot dates.
  • The Jeffersons would not have been accepted in Colonial America due to skin color and ambition.
  • Homer existed and all of his stories were true.  We know this thanks to Indiana Jones.
  • Transvestites were okay in Colonial America as long as they wore pants.
  • Pre-Industrial Revolution British nobles were forever throwing metal fences up, harshing their peasants' mellows.
  • Tobacco is actually spelled "tabacco."  And cacao is spelled "cacoa."  Although he might have been trying to write "cocoa," in which case he apparently holds a well-cherished belief that the letter "o" should never be the second letter in a word.
  • Salt is bad for you.
  • Gandhi wore serapes and was fond of lewd gestures.
  • The Poor.
  • He will see me Wednesday, but only because he's holding my test hostage.
