My first wank report!
Over on mock_the_stupid, cupidstunts makes a post about a classmate who thought Shakespeare was "all fake. Like the fucking Truman show or something." People are amused. Then wendes comments:

Sorry, but I have to come down on the "not very stupid" side of that. Apart from the obvious debate over who actually wrote "Shakespeare's" plays; we learn more and more not to take what we learn in school at face value. When I was a kid, we learned that there were "four food groups" (that you need bread, meat, dairy and fruit or veggies at every meal) and that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and then confessed to it because he was so honest. Later they told us that that the Vietnam War protestors were wrong and breaking the law...but even though we learned it all in school, it was all bullshit. And if you went around spouting that crap in real life, you'd look like an idiot.

My buddy's kid watched a show in school that was a "biography" of Satan. That kid came home scared shitless that Satan was a real guy, and angry that no one ever told him the danger he was in before. So no...just because you heard it at a school does not make it so.

wendes wanks with littlekatydid about milk, and a fun time is had by all.

Then ubykhlives tries to introduce logic:

Yeah, but would you dispute the fact that sodium is an element because you learned that in school?

Predictably, the suggestion that the student do research on her own is beyond wendes's understanding.

Small, but amusing, as mock_the_stupid wank generally is.
