I knew bringing cheese into the house was a mistake and last night proved me right. I never learn.

Hotter than yesterday. Deciding whether or not to sue Lynx under the Trade Descriptions Act. No way in hell is their anti-perspirant deodorant working. 24 hour dry protection my ass. Have gone off Robia LaMorte as a result.

Watched hilarious documentary about thirty 16 yr olds being taught under 1950s conditions. Addictive watching. Especially when seventeen of them failed a test that 11 yr olds had to sit back in the 50s.

Update
Here's the website for the TV show if anyone is interested, there's tests and stuff.

I didn't actually take the test

but I flipped through the pages and there was NO way I could have finished it in the 45 minutes alotted...

Seems a lot like the SATs, only I am pretty sure you got two hours to do those!!!

And I think about this test the same thing I think, and many people these days, think about the SATs...they don't test knowledge, they test test taking ability...
