Moynihan thinks this one might be difficult, and decides she’s coming too this time. Because it’s not like gravity was always there anyway.įortunately we’re spared more of this drivel when the mutant alarm goes off, picking up multiple contacts in Manchster, NH (which is only 46 miles away this time). The kids are still grousing about the worthlessness of their educations, and the subject comes about Sir Isaac Newton and his discovery of gravity, and how they might never have flown to the moon if he hadn’t. And the ones being entered in a dog show will have been trained even more than most. Yes, he’s pulling up outside someplace having a dog show. He feels so good about this he even quotes “veni, vidi, vici.” He blames previous failures on a lack of manpower (despite this, he’s still only bringing his normal two flunkies with him), and this time plans to mutate a creature “known for its wildly uncontrollable behavior.” Ignoramus, I mean Veloci, he’s launching a scheme to capture those perfect dinosaurs the kids turn into once and for all. Although it would’ve been handy that time I fell through a wormhole and landed in an Asterix the Gaul comic.Īnyway, checking in on Dr. I went to a high school where you had to take a certain amount of foreign language classes, and you could satisfy that requirement by taking Latin.
That’s nothing compared to high school, though, because at least people still speak Spanish and French. I’ve hardly used algebra or any of the foreign language stuff those two fat bitches in middle school tried to make me learn. Or maybe it just is the knowledge setting in that most of the things they’re learning in school are pointless for most people. I notice nobody mentions social lives, because that would imply they had friends outside this little group the like of which doesn’t exist without the aid of central casting. Midterms, extracurricular activities, family obligations, and saving the world from a “super” villain who wouldn’t make the cut for the Legion of Doom. Moynihan tries to rationalize the frustration from their studies as being part of all their obligations. Besides, does their equipment actually serve any purpose besides fighting tank-sized mutants?
I paid more attention in my literature classes because that’s what I do for fun. Rodger credits all the fancy-shmancy gadgets he’s invented to all he’s learned in science and math, and that’s great, but he probably excels in science and math because he likes science and math so much they’re what he does for fun, too. Moynihan tries to sympathize with him, saying it seems like some things you learn in school are irrelevant, but a well-rounded education is the key to succeeding later in life.
