I've recently discovered that 90% of the things I learn at school are trivial and usually taught randomly and without reason.
For example: the two things I've learned in seminar so far is 1) the pledge of alligence is only one sentence and 2) what the phrase "your face could launch 1000 ships" means.
Honestly if someone walked up to you and said "hey, your face could launch 10000 ships!" what would you say? I think it'd be insalted! I mean I don't want my face launching ships! Especially 1000 of them! Ouch!
However, I guess it's about the best compliment you can get. It goes back to a super old folk tale about a woman who was so beautiful that two countries had a huge naval battle to see who could keep her. I guess they were small countries though to only have 500 ships each... I mean nowadays they'd launch like a billion ships! Well if you are like "whoa,that'sthecraziestcomplimenti'veeverheardandIneedtoreadthestorybehinditandect" then click here and be enlightened.
that's all for today!
