I considered using ‘batshit crazy’ vice ‘bananas’, Kryten, and vaguely remember reading somewhere that there is some scientific support for the term, as with ‘mad as a hatter’ [mercury poisoning from the chemicals used to make hats], but I like bats [they eat mosquitoes] and don’t want to remind people of some of their negatives components.

Had he started talking about calculus, heavy-lift rocket systems, and the relative position of near-earth objects, I might have shown more concern, NTodd. I certainly wouldn’t have been pleased with another asteroid slamming into the Bay of Campeche, but the Orkin people would be reticent about visiting properties that contained velociraptors and if cockroaches or termites get a hold on one house in the neighborhood, there go property values.

It is people like this school that are turning out the people responsible for the total lack of anything entertaining on television.

I cannot believe how incredibly glib you are being here. My god, DO YOU WANT A DINOSAUR COLUMBINE? If this kid has access to guns and a time machine, he could totally CHANGE HISTORY AND MAKE DINOSAURS EXTINCT!

😕 Ummmmm…

The word “insane” comes easily to mind. Maybe “batshit crazy morons” might be more apt.

I guess education in the USA truly is beyond a joke! 🙄 Heck, not even Russians or Arabs are as anal and humorless as many Americans seem to be. *shrug*
