Word to the Wednesday

Student led current event presentations lead to pretty fabulous discussions...

After an article presentation about a really old person:
"So, do you think anyone in our generation will live to be really, really old?"
"Yes, I mean because we are going into the future..."
 "1.12 gigawatts, we're going back to the future!"
"People might end up just putting their brain on ice and then putting it into some sort of robot body"
"With science, people are probably going to live to be like 200"
"I don't want to live to be super old with like, half a face. I mean, that's probably what would happen if you were 200."
"They will probably find the people who are really old are the ones who just eat only 1 type of food. Like, they'll interview someone who is really old and he'll say he only ate potatoes or something."

During his presentation about bride kidnapping in another country:
"So, bride kidnapping probably sounds bad to you. And I would agree at first. People in that country used to get brides when they would ride their horses around and grab up ladies. Now it's basically the same, except with a van."


On a final note, I was trying to walk through an aisle of desks and was in the way of a student. Instead of waiting, he jumped across a table and slid to the other side while yelling "PARKOUR!!!"
