Bloopers

Actual student bloopers collected by teachers:
*The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked, "Am I my brother's son?"
*Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
*Solomom had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.
*The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.
*Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
*Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
*Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long.
*Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus."
*Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them.
*Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was cannonized by Bernard Shaw. Finally Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged twice for the same offense.
*In midevil times most people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the futile ages was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verses and also wrote literature.
Another story was William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
*Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah."
*It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. And Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.
*The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
*Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe.
*Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
*Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands.
*The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West.
*Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. She was a moral woman who practiced virtue. Her death was the final event which ended her reign.
*The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine.
*Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species. Madman Curie discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx brothers.
*The First World War, caused by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by an anahist, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.

Europa za pravo na privatnost

Od 2004. Europski parlament se nateze s americkim Departmentom of Homeland Security (DHS) oko broja informacija koje tajne agencije prikupljaju o putnicima na prekookeanskim letovima. Black budget agencije znaju tridesetak informacija o svakom putniku (istoriju letova koje je putnik propustio, čime se hranio, mjesto na kome je sjedio, broj kilometara provedenih u letu… ili takve 'vitalne informacije', kakva je putnikova e-mail adresa).
Iz tih informacija može se konstruisati prilično iscrpan licni profil koji se dodiruje takvih privatnih pitanja kakva su rasna ili etnička pripadnost, politička mišljenja, religijska ili filozofska uvjerenja, pripadnost sindikatima, zdravstveno stanje ili informacije o seksualnom životu...
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF),organizacija za odbranu 'digitalnih prava', podnijela prijavu protiv DHS-a po pitanju ko točno može pristupiti proslijeđenim informacijama,te kako i gdje se one cuvaju.Informacije se čuvaju četrdeset godina i proslijeđjene su nepoznatom broju federalnih, državnih, lokalnih i stranih agencija.
- Vlada se priprema dati 'ocjenu rizika' vezanu za milione građana, procjenu koja će ih označiti do kraja života – rekao je EFF-ov viši savjetnik David Sobel. Niko neće biti u prilici saznati informacije o 'ocjeni' ili osporiti njenu tačnost. Bruce Schneider,specijalista za sigurnost je rekao:
- Postoji nešto ne-američko vezano uz vladin program koji koristi tajne kriterije kako bi sastavljao dosijee o nedužnim građanima i potom te dosijee prosljeđivao raznovrsnim agencijama, sve to bez ikakvog nadzora. Takvu stvar bi očekivao od bivšeg Sovjetskog Saveza ili Istočne Njemačke ili Kine. Sve to ne čini nas nimalo sigurnijima od terorizma.
