The Night Crew

[CookieMonster]

Just blew that theory out of the water then, didn't you.

My roommate was just as shocked as I was. We both thought that, among relatively educated people, Schrodinger's Cat was common knowledge. I mean, they made a joke about it on House! And...and...it's on a tee shirt!

And i live in a bigger Blue State, CA, where the public school system sucks. Sorry to break your rose colored glasses dear girl.

I teach in NYC public schools. Had I ever rose-colored glasses, they were broken there.

*ahem*

I have a problem with your theory hon. Just becuase someone isnt highly educated doesnt make them less intelligent. Less informed maybe, not less intelligent. Just becuase I didnt go to a 2 or 4 year college like some other posters here (I not only do not have the means to attend but I have no intreset in that) doesnt make me less intelligent.

-adjective
1. having good understanding or a high mental capacity; quick to comprehend, as persons or animals: an intelligent student. 2. displaying or characterized by quickness of understanding, sound thought, or good judgment: an intelligent reply. 3. having the faculty of reasoning and understanding; possessing intelligence: intelligent beings in outer space.

Itelligence is the capacity to learn not someones level of knowledge.

Just because I didnt learn about some wackjobs theory doesnt make me less intelligent just disinterested.

I am thinking of making some spiked apple cider for our Halloween party on Friday, but I don't like the recipes I'm finding. The online recipes spike the cider with brandy, and the other recipe I know uses Everclear, which I'd like to stay away from if I can.

How does this sound?

Warm apple cider spiked with Green Apple Pucker and Butterscotch schnapps? It'd be like a warm caramel apple shot.

That sounds wonderful.

You make me sound like i'm some sort of hedonist ...

You are.

Well...

I never mentioned intelligence in my serious post, only later and jokingly as a response to a joking barb from some one else about the poor education of Americans in general. I didn't imply that uneducated equals stupid, or by extension that people who hadn't heard of Schrodinger's Cat were stupid (I even pointed out that my friend Sonia is both very intelligent and well-educated and didn't know what it was). I'm sorry you took offense, but that was entirely read in and not to do with what I wrote.

After the election when the king and queen were crowned?

 

[Super Grover]

Good. About time.

 

[Sephiroth]

[ShamelessMcBundy]

You weren't even nominated!

 

[Super Grover]

" intelligent and well-educated" because of these attributes you assumed that she would know what it was. Therefore saying that becuase someone is intelligent and well-educated they should know about the crazy man and his cat. I am intelligent and well-educated I may have only worked menial jobs and only aspire to being an EMT but I am still intelligent and well-educated. That does not mean I SHOULD know about some cat possibly being alive or dead.

Also, its not necessarily the education itself that is flawed; but the greedy teachers (that havent worked up the food chain and want their new Lexus) and the lazy parents that dont instill the importance of education on students. Mostly the latter.

I wasn't nominated because i am too feared

Then you'd make a horrible king.
