10 Things To Do At School When Bored

CAUTION: I do not recommend actually doing these unless you are 1) insane, 2) want to become laughingstock of the entire school, or 3) both.

1. Take off your socks and make hand puppets. When asked a question throw your hand up and answer through your socks. Have one puppet accuse the other of having the wrong answer, and let them argue.

2. Take spare gum out from under your desk and mold a statue of one of your classmates. Try to sell it to them.

3. Mimic your classmates facial expressions. If they notice, keep doing it until they get mad. If they get mad, keep doing it until they make a scene. If they make a scene, raise your hand and complain that he/she is distracting you.

4. March into the classroom yelling, "Hut, two three, four." Take role call in your best General voice. If they don't answer, say, "I saaaid, (Name of classmate)." Keep doing so until answered.

5. Bring in a fishing pole and try to "catch" your teacher. Keep saying things like, "The last one got away," or, "Get the net, It's a big one!"

6. Make up the corniest joke you can and announce it to the teacher. Example: Do you think that if Mexico and Texas ever got together, they would call it "Texaco?"

7. Get out a comb and part your hair down the middle, going all the way down the back. Borrow a pair of glasses and put them on backwards. Sit in the chair backwards with your arms behind you, on the desk. If no one notices wait about 5 minutes then scream, "That stupid chiropractor!"

8. Get a pair of 3-D glasses. Wobble around while walking and keep yelling, "Whoah, that looked so real!"

9. Start a debate on whose cooler, color of shoes, smart or dumb, etc. Get a representative from each side. Have those two debate, explaining pros and cons, then get the teacher and say, "All I said was 'those are neat shoes' and then this happened!"

10. Bring in a dog and dress it in your clothes, sit it in your seat, and talk for it.. Hide somewhere in the classroom before your teacher comes in. Try to pass him on as you, while occasionally mumbling, "I should have never mixed in that citric acid."

Ten Reasons To Be Paranoid

Number 1- Safety Caps on OJ bottles, iced tea, and other sealed jars. They make a strangely cool sound when you POP them open, then you can make as many of the POP-ing noises as you want. Nothing could be that good for free.

Number 2- Troll Dolls. They sure do look a lot like this guy who lives down my street. Are they pointy haired little love muffin thingies or the beginning stages of a plot that could wipe out humanity?

Number 3- Salt. NaCl. Very spooky. why is it's normal name, salt, so different from it's chemical name, Sodium Chloride?

Number 4- Remote Controls. They can control the TV from across the room. They can control cars from hundreds of feet. Why can't they control us from anywhere?

Number 5- Pencils. It's called lead, but it's graphite! What the heck? They are two different materials. I'm not even going to try to figure that one out.

Number 6- Gummi Bears. All I have to say is that they look a LOT like real bears.

Number 7- Ties. They are basically controlled nooses. They could break free of our controlling grasp and have us under their power any day now.

Number 8- French Fries. They're called chips in England, fries in America, yet both countries speak English. And then we call potato chips "chips". Maybe the English know something we don't. You know they might still be mad about that little revolutionary war thing.

Number 9- Social Security Numbers. We've been bar coded. Face it.

Number 10- The big pyramid thing with an eye on the back of the dollar bill. It's staring at me! Why did they put it there? I think it has to be surveillance.

The Deletion Question

Question: Where do the characters go when I use my backspace or delete key on my PC?

Answer: The characters go to different places, depending on whom you ask:

The Catholic Church's approach to characters:
The nice characters go to Heaven, where they are bathed in the light of happiness. The naughty characters are punished for their sins. Naughty characters are those involved in the creation of naughty words, such as "breast", "sex", and any curse word.

The Buddhist explanation:
If a character has lived rightly, and its karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated as a different, higher character. Those funny characters above the numbers on your keyboard will become numbers, numbers will become letters, and lower-case letters will become upper-case. After that the characters will become function keys such as the "return", "shift", and "control" keys.

The 20th-century bitter cynical nihilist explanation:
Who cares? It doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted, underlined, etc. It's all the same.

The Mac user's explanation:
All the characters written on a PC and then deleted go to straight to PC hell. If you're using a Mac, you can probably see the deleted characters, because you're in PC hell also.

Stephen King's explanation:
Every time you hit the delete key you unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting characters to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all. Hahahahahahaaaa!

IBM's explanation:
The characters are not real. They exist only on the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to de-conceptualize them. Get a life.

PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) explanation:
You've been DELETING them??? Can't you hear them SCREAMING??? Why don't you go CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a MINK, you pig!!!!

Jellyfish's slightly neurotic explanation:
The deleted characters are shipped to Kalamazoo, Michigan (it would be Michigan, wouldn't it?), where they're made into Pop-Tart filling. This explains why Pop-Tarts are so flammable, while cheap imitation genero-brands are not flammable. I'm not making this up. Really.
: ) Slightly neurotic? Slightly neurotic???
