Whoa. So Many Holidays!

Whoa...not only is it Random Acts of Kindness Day (feed a homeless squid!), but it's also National Sweater Day (knit a sweater out of floss, using unbent bobby pins for needles, as I saw someone doing in the hallway the other day (although it was a scarf)), and...well, that's actually it. So, by "so many" I mean two. Oh, wait! It is also Thursday. How exciting is that? It hasn't been a Thursday for...I dunno...at least a week now...so that's cool!

...Whatevs. So, today's WFTH are from the category of Rather Duh-Inspiring. My comments are in italics! Enjoy!

"Yes, explosion is generally seen as a negative reaction." Says you.

Person 1 [teacher giving trivia questions]: "This man wrote on civil disobedience. N--"
Person 2: "Thoreau!"
Person 1: "Name that man, his weight, and height."
Class: [cracks up]
Person 2: "Wait--is he kidding?" ...worst. Jeopardy question. Ever.

"[teacher] First thing you need to know about the Korean War: It is not the Vietnam War." Hence the names.

"[teacher] You just have to be like Superman on his chest with your timpani, like 'ARRGH!'" Actually, I think that's Tarzan, but I could be mistaken.
