    Why do we care if we offend people?

    I'm not certain why in general we care if we offend people, but if somebody is a teacher, they can't downright say a student is stupid, or repeaditly correct them(in an apathetic "you're stupid" kind of tone") because that's giving negative feedback. You're supposed to inspire students to...

    Are You Nerdier Than Half the Population?

    18% scored higher (more nerdy), 1% scored the same, and 81% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!. Those are such big lies. :| I'm apart of the group of people in the back row of a classroom being...

    How Long Can You Go Without Sleep?

    That is horrible. Wolram, as a typical teenager, my usual sleeping habits run around 3-7 hours. You not sleeping for 72 hours and going, that's - how are not a walking zombie with peircing pain going up your brain every 5 seconds?! To sleep, some things that have worked for me include: Sorting...

    BBT's Portrayal of Nerds: Offensive or Accurate?

    You do have a point there. Penny makes an amazing nerd. :\ I think it lies in the speed of her speech, coupled with a monotonous quality that makes it so, NERDY. Gilbert doesn't really have that, but, I still think she pulls of snide and apathetic very well. Yeah, Sheldon's pretty epic.

    BBT's Portrayal of Nerds: Offensive or Accurate?

    I feel Gilbert's acting really isn't that bad. From her original personality(which is that of a nice, interested person) and I think to pull off a snide, detached super-geek would be generally difficult, I mean, to deal with all the fast and long technical jargon. It's not like Twilight, Kristen...

    Schools University of Toronto admissions average

    It probably would, depending on the applications they get. On the plus side, UFT will also be keen to know that you made such progress in one year, but on the down side, they might think you were just doing it for college. They are looking for some consistency. Hopefully your other credentials...

    Medical Lost in the Social and Romantic worlds

    I understand how you feel. I've kinda have the same issue, then I came to some conclusions. Small talk is boring because it really never brings up anything new, testing physic's laws and figuring out mathematical equation's is fun because human's are curious. And quite frankly it's more...

    Canada loses to Russia in World Juniors

    It's a puck! A puck! It's also the game where players body check each other into the boards and fans scream! ...but yeah, you kind of need a really good eye to see the puck.

    Canada loses to Russia in World Juniors

    I thought American's were known for their above average weight and extreme opinions. I never knew they lived for sports as well.
