One time in a lesson he made a rope out of ties, abseiled out a second floor (or first floor to you Americans) window, then didn't come back to school for a week.

Guy was fucking weird, but hilarious.

We once used an entire role of duct tape to tie him to a chair, at his behest, then rolled him down a hill on it. He resembled a grey, plastic mummy once we'd wrapped him up.

A girl I used to know, who was otherwise quite intelligent, had big problems with things like this.

She thought the past tense of 'wink' was 'wank', and was convinced that ducks didn't have arseholes.

this.
being technically correct doesn't excuse the fact he's a derivate bore, and a pastiche of regurgitated pop-science.

my teacher would go at a length about how dawkins treatment of the cosmological argument was just a re-hashed critique of foundationalism, and thus irrelevant to its true force. he also made fun of his terrible writing style

Well ducks don't have an arsehole as much as they don't have a urethral opening or vagina, they have a cloaca which is an organelle encapsulating all three.

This reminds me of an encounter I had with word nigger

>be in asian country
>room full of international students, joking and drinking
>had been playing murder so we were all sat in a circle
>start talking about murder mystery novels
>agatha christe
>ohgodwhyamibritish.jpg
>novel called 10 little indian boys
>finish friend remarks that in Finnish it literally translates as 10 little niggers
>from across the room a black american girl shouts 'you can't say that'
>friend re-calmly explains that is the name of the book in literal translation
>"you can't say that word"
>everyone went quite
>he explain again, talking about author, this is the original name of the book, not changed to 'indians' in Finnish
>"you cannot say that word"
>room split in two

Almost ruined the entire evening. Anyway sorry for the shitty greentext but this incident always struck me as how she just didn't even acknowledge the word, or even allow anyone else to say it, even with the most honest and valid intentions.

Speaking of the n-word and being in an asian country, the Chinese word for "that" when referring to an object (such as "that man) is 那个 (na ge), but usually pronounced as "n-egg-a" and frequently sounds like "nigga".

So in China, everyone's a nigga.
