News Update 1

In tonight's CSL news update:

1-Swine flu outbreak is at level 4 in Canada. No deaths in Canada yet. Emotions are mixed as to the possibility of school closing. (and opening back in summer) What happened to levels 1-3?

2- We are still enjoying the continued absence of a small number of sec 3 who have lost themselves in Spain. We can't get rid of all the nasty critters, but it's a start.

3- End of the year science test has been announced. To general dismay, it will include writing a argumentative text relating to a scientific topic. What a huge fuckup. Interchanging competencies is an interesting concept, but some things were not meant to be mixed. Math is precisely favored by some because of its concept of equations. Everything is easier to compare and quantify and understand, when you put it into an equation. Cow shit = smells bad. Human shit = smells bad. Conclusion: shit smells bad.
Same thing with science. Scientific concepts are far more concrete and set in stone than words. Words have nuances, they have different meanings, they express varying degrees of whatever. Science doesn't work like that. There is a law. It is a go or no-go situation. You will not have some nuclear bombs go off, and some remaining impotent. It will happen, or it will not.

4- Annual 12 minute torture test seems to have not claimed any victims as of yet. Only two classes left or so. Apart from the few cases of idiots using stimulants and nearly vomiting, everybody survived, with our hearts a little stronger and a little more prepared to run away from the zombies and the crazed monkeys.
