Aw jeez! One of my favorite memories of high school English class was reading parts of Shakespeare out loud as a class. When we got to the part where Hamlet was talking to Ophelia:

    * Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
      Ophelia: No, my lord.
      Hamlet: I mean, my head upon your lap?
      Ophelia: Ay, my lord.
      Hamlet: Do you think I meant country matters?
          o scene ii

C'mon, that's the bawdiest pun ever. I snickered really loudly, and my teacher gave me a knowing grin and a "keep quiet" look, because I was the only person in the class who picked up on it. Hee!

Also, I am not dead. I have been tired, and also busy.

I got way more and better history out of Cartoon History Of The Universe and Cartoon History Of The United States than I did out of high school.

I also retained more physics from Cartoon Guide To Physics than high school. What I'm saying is that comics are great for learning things.

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.
