Notes
From the Principal
|
 Important things you Really
do Not have to know.
1. Myth: Julius Caesar was a Roman Emperor. Fact:
in Caesar's time Rome was a republic and had no
emperor. The Roman Empire didn't exist until 17 years after Caesar's
death.
2. Myth: You should drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day.
Fact: The bottled water industry loves this myth,
but according to
kidney specialist, Dr. Heinz Vaugh, there is no evidence to support the
claim.
3. Myth: Diamonds are the most valuable gem. Fact:
Carat for carat, rubies are by far more valuable than
diamonds.
4. AC/DC. Chosen because it fit the band's "high voltage" sound.
Teacher: "Give me a sentence with an object."
Student: "You're very beautiful, teacher."
Teacher: "What's the object?"
Student: "A good grade!"
* * * * * * * *
Teacher: "Give me an example of a collective noun."
Student: "Garbage can."
