What's Great.. and What's not

Great:
Google's define: feature now also searches Wikipedia. So if I type in define:Monty Python, there's a link to the Wikipedia entry. (As well as the first snippet)

Not:
Having my foot wrapped up a bandages with weird bloodiness to them.

Great:
Staying home to study for CSET

Not:
CSET on Saturday

Great:
munching on white rabbit candies

Not:
missing out on my snack hoard in the office. (fresh Kettle Korn! 话梅! wasabi peas!)

Ah, the things that are on the internet....

Apparently, it's not bestiality because it's consensual

And this all started from an innocent conversation about Chimps. Which led to a simple search for pictures of mating dolphins...

[edit] Man, the dolphins must be so cracking up at these humans. "Mother, I like humans. They're so cute! Please let us mate!"
And yo, we're both mammals, but how come theirs is not only retractable, but also semi-prehensile?

In other news, does anyone know when a Congress session ends?

National Convention!

Dude, how cool would it be to have a National Convention again! Apparently, if 3/4 of the states want an amendment, they can call a national convention. That'd be totally awesome. We'd have to decide on like, delegates to represent us and everything.

What else would have been totally awesome? To have been around in, like 1805 or something, when the Framers of the Constitution were still alive. People would be like "I think the Constitution should be interpreted as such and such". And one of the Framers would be like "um, no? *We* meant for it to mean *this*"
People: pssh, that's silly.
Framers: Yeah, well, it was one of those embarrassing compromises
People: and what did you mean right here?
Framers: Did we right that? Oops? Um, maybe we should amend this thing
People: And you say this is better than the Articles of Confederation. Bah!

XD. Versus nowadays which is like "OMG THIS IS HOLY, NO TOUCHY"

I mean, can you imagine Marshall trying to assert his judicial review and Hamilton going "um.. whatcha doin' that for? I was there, yo! And I *know* what I meant with the commerce clause!"

I'm so fucked for this test...

Sample question:

"The concept of equal opportunity has been a fundamental ideal of American democracy since it was proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. Ever since, the proper role of government in ensuring equal rights and equality of opportunity has been a source of debate and contention in American life.
Using your knowledge of American democracy:

analyze one way in which the principles, structure, or process of government in the United States has fostered the ideal or equality; and

analyze one way in which the principles, structure, or process of government in the United States has restricted that same ideal"

I guess I can talk about the bill of rights promising the rights of trial to everyone, and the Constitutional power granted to people to elect the House of Representatives? And the fact that suffrage, until the various amendments, is left to the individual states. hmm...
