    My fiancee’s a teacher and they have been told they must refer to white boards as "wipe boards" to prevent the negative connotations of racial supremacy that come with the implicit preference for white boards over black boards. My view: White boards are far better than black boards. I will continue to call them that because thay are boards that are white. If you don't like it, go build a bridge (in order for you to get over it)

    If you use a dry or wet erase pen on it, it's a whiteboard. If you use chalk on it, it's a blackboard (even though most modern ones are green). What's racist about that? Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

    Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

      You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4.... -- El Corazon
