Hey, I read that book once. WTH is the title?
So what you're saying is, we should invade Mexico?
Compare the cost per student of running an AP class vs. implementing an IEP (individualized education plan), planting a one-on-one aide, and followup evaluations for each and every learning-disabled child. There's absolutely no doubt about which costs more.

Tuberpunk?
No, I think that would mean strange gadgets covered with, or made out of, potatoes.
There are people who can echolocate
Anyone else read that as e-chocolate?
No, because "chocolate" is a color, not greyscale (you insensitive clod).
I thought the reason the word "meme" was chosen was specifically because of the similarity between organic genetic evolution and evolution of terms on the internet. No?
software' was comfortable clothing
So corsets are hardware?
No, they're more like hard-core. (triple-entendre?)
And 4/3 of all people don't understand fractions.
That could actually be valid if we categorize some folks as "doubleplus un-understanding fractions"
