thoughts,+words,+wisdom

Basically what I was thinking is if you have a clever or funny saying which you came up with, or a famous quote that you feel like posting, put it on this page. I guess I will start... (Do the edit thing in the upper right hand corner of the whathaveyou, to post things. That is what I would do.)

“I am part of all who I have met”- Rebecca P.

Wisdom is wasted on the old - Matt S.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but Cabbage with a College Education. - Mark Twain (Posted by Wiley T.)

Never go to a doctor was office plants have died.

“If you're going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning. If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you're going to question something, question authority. If you're going to lose something lose your inhibitions. If you're going to gain something, gain respect and confidence. And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.” - Daniel Golston. (posted by Andii E.)

"Michael Jordan plays basketball, Charles Manson kills people, I talk." -Nick Naylor (posted by Wiley T.)

My intention is for us as a class to use this section to help our fellow class mates and answer their questions. Whether those questions are anywhere from "What's being served tonight at Sewall," or, "Do you know what our assignment is for tonight," or even, "I don't quite understand what (blank) means." Ask any question you need an answer to, and if you know the answer to someone's question, help them out! I hope that this will help us **become closer as a class** and **create discussion** in order to clear things up about the class itself. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we are all in the same boat and the truth is someone else probably has the same question as you. Click on the "Discussion" tab above and ask any questions you need answered. Use the same process you use to post your journal entries.
 * Questions for the group:**

It might also be fun to have people click "edit" on this page and type their questions/thoughts right below these paragraphs. That way they can be edited and collaborated on if necessary. I don't know why, but the discussion posts seem impossible to edit or do anything to but delete.

I have a question: Why does everyone keep correcting me when I refer to images/statues of our school mascot as a buffalo? Folks seem to love telling me "it's actually a bison." Does anyone know the difference?

-->Answer: I'm pretty sure that it just depends on where they come from. One is from North America and the other isn't. I couldn't tell you which is which however.

Buffalo is the colloquial term for the plains bison. They are synonymous. So people from the East coast seldom hear the term "buffalo" and that is why they correct you, that would be my guess.
