used to write but it got to sloppy, so I printed instead.
but then my printing got so bad I could hardly read it, so I type.
but my typing really sucks, so now I wave my hands a lot.

^Me too. I loved math. My handwriting wasn't too good. So I print. Always. Unless I have to sign my name. Or when I pretended to be the tooth fairy and wrote a letter to my daughter. I figured my daughter had never seen my handwriting so there was no way she's bust me for writing it.
Gee Patricia I am sorry to hear that. I have a certificate (no kidding) hanging on the wall (that goes down to my basement) that is framed (thanks mom) that says "The Peterson System of Directed Handwriting for the Public Schools" certifies that I has attained a satisfactory degree of skill in "Handwriting" under the direction.... (dated 1953).

Not only was I good at math, I could write! I COULD BEEN SOMEBODY!!!

Satisfactory? That's it? Not "Outstanding"?

For the most part they are very fortunate to have their looks. There is little else to recommend them.

There's an amusing version of the "official" one in which someone has dubbed "gravity" over "evolution", so all these Einsteins are talking about why gravity should not be taught in school. (I found it linked on the YouTube pages above.) It certainly puts this in its place. HPH

You know, Raymo, it really confounds me when I think about the fact that these women are supposedly competing to win scholarships to further their education. how in the world can their SAT scores possibly be high enough to get into a college? I think they must all be vying for the MRS degree.
