Whew. What a large class. Very well.

First discussion will be upon the validity of Denis' statements about government and how they can be applied in the real world.

Does an elective dinarchy really work or was he spewing rhetoric? And, was he really being oppressed when King Arthur started to rough him up?

Discuss...

Certainly not! ...Well, not successfully, anyway. I mean, he did keep yelling.

Anyway, he lived in a pre-democratic medieval society. If one considers oppression as a measurement against the average of the time, he practically had freedom of speech!

1.b

2.b

3.a

4.f

5.t

6. Tim is called, 'Tim', because his mother was in love with a parrot (who happened to be STONE dead.), but when it was alive, it could only say one word. "TiiiiMMMmmm..." Now, because his mother loved the parrot in life, when she became pregnant with her child, she named him after her beloved flying creature.

Hence, Tim.

7. It is essential today because the search for the holy grail is symbolic of wanting to find that thing in our lives that will bring u peace.

Ok, not really. It's essential because we all weigh as much as a duck.

*shakes head* oh bill.....

you get 50 points for origionality and contribution to the course










but you lose 55 for being so serious and bringing advanced mathematics and physics into my class room

you get -5 points for the course efectively giving yourselff an f-- which means you never enrolled and therefore it doesnt matter.

Closing lecture:

*looks at remaining students and dies a little inside. Shakes head*

good job.

You pass mister Kaiser. You get a B for the course because you didnt participate in one of the discussions.

Adanufgail and Shyriath receive incompletes for failing to take the final exam.


see you in the next class. I will be looking for suggestions in the 400 Wing.
