When Uncle Al writes absurdist satire on despicable American zero-goal education (every child left behind), reality retaliates by playing trump.

Google
staring psychology investigation -remote 30,000 hits

Spelling counts. "Stairing" is not taking the elevator. Yaysoos H. Firetrucking Kerayst. Yer gonna done be a Englisch teachur, right?

I read of a study once - I think in Michigan - that determined the academic major of students who were least likely to read a book not required by their major.

The results were not encouraging.

Thank you Uncle Al for that interesting definition of "stairing". I shall add it to my twisted English lexicon. As one who was caught many times staring off into space instead of paying attention to my teachers, I shall treasure that definition. I would have paid more attention in school if the topic had been interesting. Who can pay attention to Algebra when the mind is full of spaceships and aliens?

Spaceships and aliens?

I doubt most students are even capable of that.

Bet everyone can name the actors on Sienfeld (I can't because I've never watched a single episode of the show). Not one person can name the person that invented the television itself (using google doesn't count as remembering).

Well, you got my curiousity piqued. I had to look up the television inventor. I neither know nor care who played on "Seinfeld" so not a problem for me.

Aren't you glad "Self" wasn't down in the gulf coast? That kind of winds and storm just passes all imagination, even mine, and I've been in the edges of a hurricane once. Wouldn't want to be any closer. Some things once is too much.
