A Call For Humor!

[Petrushka]

The syllabus says what you're expected to know about, and is published for each subject - otherwise subjects would be too broad to teach in any detail. The exam could ask about anything in the syllabus, but not things not on the syllabus. The syllabus changed, but some schools apparently didn't get the message and taught to the old syllabus not the new one.

Ah.

One time a mate forgot his phone at my place, and the first thought when I noticed was calling him about it.

"The Lowdown Slowdown Inflationary Blues" is a song by Harry "The Hipster" Gibson" (1915-1991) who started playing piano at just 3 years of age and 10 years later played in a dance band. I'm posting it on this thread since consider it a kind of humorous take along the lines of "laugh to keep from crying" by a colorful musician who got around amongst the music scene in his time.

One of the scariest "night monsters" of my childhood was an imaginary one (who woulda thunk it lol) that in hindsight looked suspiciously similar to the random plants placed at the window, casting scary shadows at night, from street lamps and such.

The article says


Who told them the exam was going to be about Augustus, and why would that be revealed in advance? Surely, they were taught about Augustus, Julius and many other things during their history course?

Crazy isn’t it.
When I did English Literature at school we had had no idea which book we’d be examined on. We had to study every book ever written in English.

Mind you, in my parents day it was just “Literature”. They bemoaned how educational standards had slipped and that we were being spoon fed by being told which language to study in.

Oh well. I had a nightmare in which me bed was alive and started to breathe. At any moment it could swallow me so I didn't dare to move. For some messed up reason the sense of the bed being alive was still there after I woke up... And lasted for some time

Happy that I don't remember any fever nightmares, those are the worst, utterly bizarre

As always, the 90s provide the appropriate soundtrack, including visuals.

A risk worth taking. Getting high on various substances isn't just essentially human, but seems utterly universal for the higher lifeforms on this planet.
