A goomba (assuming life-size means it's about half my height). Or a golem (the pokemon).

I second the flash/programming ideas! Maybe some of the pretty things HTML5 can do? (If your school has browsers that will run it...) On the image-y side, Illustrator or Indesign would be cool to cover. Depending on the grade level you're teaching, a game project could be really cool...

I'm a pretty big fan of Edvard Grieg (and Knut, for that matter): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2oQP_0vs8o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XWYckg43vg&feature=channel_video_title I also have a special place in my heart for Nakada's Etude Allegro, because it's just so darn fun to play...

I agree with this. In my town, the "manifesto" of the Occupy protest states that they are in solidarity with the Arab Spring movements. I find that to be a little disrespectful of those movements, who were (in my mind anyway) protesting much more pressing matters and were in much greater...

You have stated that their is no end goal of the Occupy movement other than raising awareness. My question is then, when does everyone pack up tent city and go home? (I don't mean this in a snarky "get off my public park you darn kids" way, but in a "if there's no endpoint, are you actually...

I think that stating that humans are inherently evil is an inappropriately strong statement. As a lot of people have mentioned, inherently self-serving would be a better phrasing. Evil to me indicates that you are performing an act solely for the destruction/carnage/hurt feelings it will...

In high school (in Canada), we were studying the cold war. My teacher felt it was important to draw connections between what happened "back then" and what was currently happening in the world. This was 2006, so somehow both Osama bin Laden and George Bush came up. My teacher made a joke that...

Have you had a 'sexual encounter' (eg. oral sex and whatnot.) -Yes Have you had sex? -Yes How old were you when you first did? Wanna tell us about your first experience? -20 or 21, which I'm guessing puts me at the older end of people who have had sex. (Also, I feel pretty terrible about...
