They do not grow back, that’s why it’s bad. And you won’t like them so much when you’re toiling in their underground sugar caves with your hotdog fingers (or stumps, as the case will likely be).

Mr. Andrews:

Czech?

I have no doubt I’d enjoy an Andrews family dinner, and while I have no disillusions regarding how restful the occasion might be, I’m sure I’d be right at home.

I pro jednoho, vítám našeho nového robota overlords přistěhovalců.

But no matter what language you put it into, I still really just don’t get the message.

I think Tim would have a good time at one of our family dinners sometime, as long as he didn’t think it was going to be a relaxing vacation.

As always
Grandpa Andrews

Aubrey: Next time you should check with me, after you check with Google first of course. If we can’t figure it out over email/phone, there are ways that I can connect to your computer and even take control of it if need be. The worst that can happen is that I just laugh at you and you still have to take it in. Well, unless the illegal immigrant robots have come and you mistakenly give control over to them.

Grandpa Andrews: Don’t worry. I’ve figured out that if I ignore you long enough, you will ask Lisa. Sorry Lisa.

Dan: To the question of “what” to google, the point is to google SOMETHING. As an 8th grade teacher I would think that you would agree about the importance of effort regardless of results. As for the accuracy of the information found, Google just makes it easier to find the sources, you still have cite them and make sure they are credible.
BTW, I googled “why my brother is an idiot” and I got plenty of hits, although you might argue how credible the sources were since all the hits were from http://www.drozmonkey.com. The lack of results on your search obviously proves that I am not idiot.

This post also begs the question however, how does one know what question to “google”?

Also while working with the minds who will affect all of our futures (8th graders) How do they know what they find on the net, is correct information and not just popular opinion?

Dan, the Idiot Out Wandering Around… get it I.O.W.A.

Of course I know that you didn’t mean me. You meant all of those other poor folks out there. So I’ll just continue to ask you questions and then argue with your answers like I have done with you since the 3rd grade.

Thanks
Dad

I took my misbehaving computer to Best Buy before its warranty expired. The man fixed it while I stood there. You got it–two updates downloaded via the internet. Since the problems appeared to be problems with ports, it didn’t even occur to me to search them on the internet. So, by the time the tornado warning had lifted and they unlocked the front doors again, the computer was running well. Me and my very red face grabbed it and headed home.
