Are they serious?. Yes, I feel they are. This is an article that Amy H. sent me, which is very entertaining albeit questionably falsifiable/scientific. We've been talking about the nature of science recently in ToK...so sorry, it's the ToK talking.

Happy second semester to all!

At least your gastrointestinal problems aren't getting worse

I'm in a carpool with 3 other kids, and we're always arguing about something, in that fun "You know I actually like you, right?" sort of way. One (we'll call him Student A) speaks German, and another (let's be creative...she'll be Student B) does not. Student B is known to be a bit, well, in-your-face, for lack of a better term. On the ride home from school a while ago, they were trading their usual insults.

A: Du bist agressiv!
B: Josh, what's that mean? (I'm in first year German, if you didn't know that. Actually, I'm in first year German even if you did know that.)
Me: You're aggressive.
B: Thanks. Student A do you really think that's an insult!? Please!
A: Du bist agressive, hässlich, und dumm!
B: Josh?
Me: You're aggressive ugly and dumb.
B: Thanks. STUDENT A!!!!!!

She then returned to yelling at him for the remainder of the car ride, which was only a couple of minutes. The amazing part is how calmly she thanked me for saying that she is aggressive ugly and dumb, before returning to yell at him with all her usual vigor. This is one that you have to let yourself hear in your head; try imagining her changing her tone so quickly...it really is quite entertaining. Also, after Student B had gotten out of the car, Student A congratulated me on my German comprehension skills. That made me feel gut.

:)
