Say It Again, Sam!

As much as I hate double posting things, I'm going to post my latest Xanga entry here as well, to keep you all in the loop.

I have learned to document what people say, in the phonectical spelling of EXACTLY HOW IT'S SAID. And I've learned something very valuable. Most people, though they say a lot, have NOTHING TO SAY. Fascinating, isn't it?

I've found someone to rival the good ol' folks at St. Joe's in the 'stating the obvious' department. Better than Law, History, and English/Writer's Craft combined. I kid you not. Some random chick in my Western Civ lecture has absolutely pointless points regardless of the topic. I love it.

Quotes:
(after comparing Sparta and Athens for a half hour) "Is it safe to say that Athens and Sparta were different?"
(after discussing the democracy of Athens) "So, was voting allowed, or not?"
(on the meaning of democracy) "It's like a dictatorship, only people can speak and stuff."
(on Pompeii being buried by volcanic ash) "You know, that's just like Atlanta. Do you think people really could survive in a hidden city under the sea?" (yes, Atlanta. Not Atlantis. Atlanta.)
(on Greek tragedy) "So, is this supposed to be sad? Or is it, like, sarcasm?"
(on building the pyramids) "I bet that took like, five years. And they would have to work at least five days a week. No weekends off. That sucks."
(on the meaning behind Lysistrata, a feminist play on women's rights) "I bet the women were just trying to get attention."
And that is all for now, folks. But there have been three weeks of classes. I will keep you posted. And, wherever you are, whoever you are, remember: you can't be as dumb as all that.
