Valmar's Believe It Or Not

As the title suggests, i have noticed many wierd things recently.

1. 'Him With The Hair'... a CHAV??

HWTH is a student media studies teacher who takes us every Wednesday and Thursday, instead of Mr. Malyszko. Now, Malyszko being the competent (snigger) teacher that he is, is guiding HWTH in his teching career. He sits in the corner each lesson, and observes HWTH's actions and write his observations on a piece of paper.

As our little discussion group, which included Wendy, myself and a real idiot named Samie Hussaini (I mean, a REAL idiot. Total idiocy on a grand scale. Does Drama.) went to the front so only one of us (for some reason) could talk on Sound in the extract, I was reading Mr Malyszko's comments over his shoulder. He was of course commenting on the way HWTH was handling the presentations, but one word stuck out. Under his comment on how HWTH handled the Special Effects group, he had written:

Chav?

2. Osama Bin Terminator

We were analysing that scene in Terminator 2 where John is driving down the valley thing on his bike, with the evell T-1000 following in the mahoosive truck. Anyhoogan, when Governer T-101 shoots out the tire of the truck and the trcuk crashes into that divide, in the centre of the divide is written :

Warning : 9'11"

And I thought the 20 dollar one was bad enough...

3. Netball, bikinis and 'orange juice'

This one will probably only make sense to those in my form, but since Tyler is making us do ridiculous talks, a ridiculous talk should not have been unexpected. The presenter of the talk, one 'Jen' was heard to say that her talk might be on the Sims on monday. Now, how cool would that have been? Amazingly so! Might have put Louise's talk on karate (currently the best talk done by a female so far. I'm sorry charlie, but 'It well pretty'?!) to shame. But no, instead we get the first slide, reading:

"Cyprus netball tour."

Settle down, it gets better! Despite the title, the only thing thing that bore any resemblance to the title was the word 'Cyprus'. Most of the pictures were of many young women dressed in very little (Barrington was audibly gasping for air) and consuming what was claimed to be orange juice. Yeh, right...

How is it possible to have a talk about a netball tour with no mention of netball???

4. This passage may include sexual references

In my bid to prove to my girlfriend that Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs) is the dirtiest book in the Bible, i found out some of the diffrences in translations. For reference, mine is NCV, hers is Good News.

Take these verses from hers :

Songs 5:4 "My lover put his hand to the door, and I was thrilled that he was near"
Songs 7:7-8 "You are as graceful as a palm-tree, and your breasts are clusters of dates. I will climb the palm-tree and pick its fruit."

Which, in mine, become:

Songs 5:4 "My lover put his hand through the opening, and I felt excited inside"
Songs 7:7-8 "You are tall like a palm tree, and your breasts are like it's bunches of fruit. I said, 'I will climb up the palm tree, and take hold of it's fruit'"

Mine is a Youth Bible of course. Sex will always peak youth's interest in anything, even Christianity...

And those are my wierd observance. One that wont go up there since it isnt wierd, is that I am pretty good at Spit. Oh yeh!!!

New link to the right, under the webcomics section. Kid Radd starts slow and rather dull, but persevere. It is a damn good story once it get going, and the pixel animation is great. WARNING: If you thought the Architect scenes in The Matrix Reloaded spoiled the film, then the ending may not appeal to you. VERY philosophical...
