Uh, Ric. Tap water + metal water lines = conductor of electricity.

As for a 'lockdown'... It means basically that we can't leave the classroom for any reason unless it's a major emergency. And it was due to a death threat note found at the school--the storm had cleared up by this point. But it began right before lunch, meaning that we couldn't GO to lunch for another 30 minutes all because some kid had to put his stupid grudges down on paper.


This happened at a school near us for 4 hours because someone wrote a death threat on the walls of the school.

I hope you find out soon and that it's good news.

I was always taught to stand in a doorframe. But, then again, the last "big" earthquake in Saskatchewan was 80 years ago and measured a 3.2 on the Richter scale......ooooh

I'm hating 2 things right now.

The first is that I paid a parket ticket online and the f**kers took the money FOUR TIMES!! So I rang them up, bitched them out, and it's gonna take 3 to 4 weeks to get my money back. Considering I'm leaving the f**king country forever in 17 days and really need all my hard-earned cash right now, that is just not good enough.

The second thing I'm hating is that my wife is now pissed off at ME, acting like it's MY bloody fault, telling me I need to get them to pay up quicker. How am I supposed to do that? Go down to city hall with a gun? F**king women!!

Wow... how logical. Has she provided any suggestions as to how you go about doing that?

No solid suggestions, no. I'm assuming she thinks raising my voice and telling the guy on the phone that he better pay up or else will do the trick, which of course, it won't. When faced with bureaucratic red tape of this magnitude, there's only one thing to do - bend over and take it like a man.

She has since apologised for being such a dumbass though, so I guess I can forgive and forget. Until the next time. Women - can't live with 'em, etc.

Nice how you brush the rest of that saying into et cetera land.

I hate seeing good comic book characters get saddled with crappy film adaptations.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Yep f**king women. Can't live with 'em, can't stick your dick up your own arse!!!

EDIT:: Ha...just realised what I said....I don't want my dick, or anything else for that matter, up my arse thank you very much

That's weird. At my college, finals are always one day after another (having one week delegated as Finals Week, with all finals occurring in that five-day period), and I often have two or even three in a single day.

Well, I know at our university, all the exams are laid out over a two/three wek period. And three exams in a twenty-four hour period is grounds for having one moved (of course, with three weeks to lay out exams, it rarely happens).

This year, though, it took forever for admin to release the exam schedule, because the first time they did, there was a full day's exams on Good Friday.

Geez, how early do you Canadians get out of school? We don't have finals until another three weeks or so, and we get out relatively early compared to most other US schools (or so I've heard)!

Yeah, a real Easter weekend would have been nice. They only left Sunday and Friday sacred, and I had exams on both Holy Saturday and Easter Monday.

I go to a big university. The only way to get all the exams into three weeks is to have Saturday exams. At least I don't have Saturday classes too

yeah that generally how they do it, at most uni's i thought. 5 exams in a week is generally how they do it in highschool.

But why would it be different? How hard is it to fit exams into a three week period if the U.S. colleges and Canadian high schools can do it in five days? I'm not knocking the system. It just doesn't make much sense to me. And if it's just easier that way, I'd take the stress over having to have finals on a Saturday!

High schools do it in five days because you write in your classroom rather than in a big exam hall.

For example, each term at the U of S, there's probably 2000 first-year students taking Math 110. The university has them all write at the same time so that they can standardize the exam. But there's no one room big enough to hold all those students, so they set a schedule so that everyone writing that exam writes it at the same time, somewhere on campus. Same with many other classes, even if smaller.
