FROM THE VAULT: In high school, I was very good at getting my teachers/principal to do stupid and/or mildly embarrassing things. One time, I convinced my gym teacher (an old, Italian, ex-cop from NYC) to krump even though he did not know what that was. My vice principal and I also once played air guitar throughout the entire solo of “Welcome to The Jungle.” I managed to get my math...

The 20 Unhappiest People You Meet In The Comments... →
perpetua: This is pretty much the last word on this subject! I like this one: 6. The Read A Book Guy. “Not one of these movies is as good as reading a book.” On a list of books, by the way, he will say none of the books is as good as books used to be.

NY Times: So Long, Water Cooler; Hello, Hashtag →

Mankiw wrote an editorial →
I have only a base knowledge of economics, so I can’t weigh in on that part of the editorial, but I really enjoyed this part. I have been told that at least one of the students who walked out sneaked back in later: he wanted to support the protest but didn’t want to miss the lecture. Perfect.
