School District Drops 'D' Grades Screenshot-sm 617

Students in one New Jersey school district will no longer be able to squeak by in class after the Morris County School Board approved dropping the D grade. Beginning in the fall students who don't get a C or higher will get an F on their report card. "I'm tired of kids coming to school and not learning and getting credit for it," said Superintendent Larrie Reynolds in a Daily Record report.

Comment With the Empire crumbling the recession is hitting (Score 1) 190

With the Empire crumbling the recession is hitting everyone hard. The lost construction contracts for Endor and every nearby system that supplied parts to the Death Star has suffered massive layoffs. The Emperor was unavailable for comment at the time of this report. Fox News will have in depth interviews with the other five hundred admirals and joint task force seeking to crush the rebel faction before further acts of terrorism can occur in civilized space. It is not known how Lord Vader survived the first Death Star's destruction only to engage in petty crimes on a primitive world with only one functioning space station. The Sith lords are assuring us that Darth Vader has been stripped of his position, sanctioned and banished to a galaxy far, far away. Should he ever return to the Empire he will be executed immediately for his gross negligence in allowing a rebel shuttle to land on the moon of Endor.

Comment Of all the things in life what do you want to be (Score 1) 377

Of all the things in life what do you want to be remembered for? A snarky comment on a newspaper website that probably won't exist a decade from now or a clear synthesis of your ideas and vision? Write a book if you are disappointed in your own family's genes. There are few ways to immortality. Mega structures, grand children, gene therapy, and reincarnation. Any structure that has a face is more than likely to be broken up to make room for housing in city limits. Children can die any number of ways. Genes are a programming challenge that has yet to be completely debugged. The rise of night-shot consumer grade cameras combined with EMF detectors that electricians use is another of histories greatest discoveries. Not unlike mistakes that led to great inventions like galvanized rubber. The market for taking your money with after you die has yet to arise. When it does we can expect greater divisions in society. Currently anyone can reincarnate as a wealthy individual by being born to rich parents. As an example of personal worth the Queen of England is tied to a desk job for life but is poorer than J.K. Rowling. A woman in poverty can earn more from fiction than a descendant of royal blood. The paradigm shift has happened. The more frequent that these shifts happen the healthier our society gets. When wealth is shoved from place to place the exchange is what drives our economy and leads to new discoveries. Would there be any ghosts at hospices if pregnant women were required to spend time at the place where their own grandparents died? Most of us don't think about what we want to do after the inevitable. So far M-theory does allow for another universe but not heaven or hell. http://www.snopes.com/college/exam/hell.asp
