DGO's Unthread

I know. Several years ago I worked in the earthquake lab at Wash U. It was quite interesting to see the research being done by structural engineers in order to build safer structures.

Is there really a safe structure if it's a big earthquake?

Not really. Some buildings are better able to withstand a quake, but if a major quake hit, everything could go. A quake of say 10 on the Richter scale would be devastating. So far no quake has measured a 10 though.

Good thing!
 
But between the two of us we got 130% :D Knowing of course DGO is really going to 'ream' me for that remark.

Good, then you two can share the grade. You both have 65% and in my book that's failing. :devil: Now you see why the kids loved me.
 
DGO, how many students like Johnny did you have? Did any of them make it?


Little Johnny is at it again:



A grade school teacher in Kentucky asked her students to use the word fascinate" in a sentence.



Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my grand-dad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."

The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word fascinate, not fascinating".



Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated."

The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."



Little Johnny raised his hand.



The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him.



Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight."



The teacher sat down and cried.

I had a few and as far as I know all of them completed high school and a few went on to a BA. These kids were usually above-average in intelligence and were quick thinkers.

Happy Hump Day {{{{{{DGO}}}}}}}}} I am sure your affect on them did have a strong impact on their success.
