--EDIT--

Ok, I promised an explanation. So, there's this kid in my Science Foundations course who is an absolute moron. The worse part about it is he sits in the very front of the class and makes the loudest, most frequent comments ever. He argues with the teacher and tries to make it out like the TEACHER has no idea what he's talking about. I know in some instances, that is the case (because I've been in classes like that) but this guy knows what he's talking about so I can't help but just shake my head at this kid and think 'you're going to tell the guy with the PhD in this that he's wrong? Seriously?'

So, for example, we were talking about how when things are in motion, time actually moves slower, but it's so marginally slow no one ever notices and our watches don't even pick it up cause we're moving at such a slow rate. It's a proven fact and it's kinda cool. There's an experiment that has been done several times where they take two atomic clocks, sycrinize them and then put on a plane and leave the other on the ground. They fly the plane around the world and then when you bring the clocks back together the one on the plane will be slightly behind. I knew about this before I got to this class cause my dad told me about it before (he's really into this sort of stuff) and this kid raises his hand and says, 'Well, that just sounds like an instrumental problem to me.'

Are you kidding me? We're in a COLLEGE science class and he's just a stupid freshman who's lived in Utah his whole life and doesn't know squat.

Therefore, he is the village idiot. And I want to just take a dictionary and beat some sense into him. But, sadly, I let my better side take over too often.

I hate being so nice all the time!

The village idiot has a name.

We are one step closer to tracking down his living space and smothering him in his sleep! *evil grin*

Juust kidding. *cough* maybe....


Explanations later.
