Guess what I did in History Class today? [i]note to mods: please note that in this context, the word that I am using is actually a character's name[/i] I'm in AP US History, and we're in the Era of Grant, or the Post-Civil War Era. During this era, there were many stories about "rags to riches" due to the industries of cattle herding, mining, homesteading, etc, that allowed people to get richer. So we read a story that somebody wrote back then. Its name? "The Rise of Ragged Diick" The fun doesn't end there. Throughout this story (it's like 3 pages long), there are passages like "Diick shrank back" and "combed his hair" and "rose at the presence of Mr R___" and stuff. Easily the best story I
Stop with all the WW3 stuff. I've read too many threads now about North Korea and South Korea and how the situation there could escalate to a Third World War. I also read a thread about how that's not going to happen because of NATO and the UN + alliances. All false. All annoying in how wrong they are.

Science Olympiad 2011 Science Olympiad. The high school competition that battles the brightest minds of each school in 15-23 events. The way that the medals/awards are called out are 6th, 5th, and 4th place, then a pause, then 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place. Our school usually gives up all hope after the first 3 (4, 5, 6) are called for obvious reasons. This year, they called our school for 3rd place twice, and 1st place once. The auditorium was is chaos after we heard those. It was amazing for me, because I was in three events. I didn't get a medal in the first two, and in the third, I didn't hear our school for the first 3. I really wanted a medal. Then: "Third place, [our school]". I sat there, dumbfounded, for half a minute, not
