#1 "Cha-Cha, Nicky, the adults are talking here. Why are you wasting condiments and soft-drink mix? Go play outside."

#2 ''It was very, very strange laying there while he went on with his show,'' said Nassar, a computer science major from Winslow, Maine.

That's lying there, Nicky. Good thing you're majoring in computer science - you'd flunk English. (On the other hand, your so-called "reason" would fit right in.) Maybe you should spend more time studying and less time on extracurricular activities, such as being rude and stupid at the same time.

Loser.

#3 Does Nicky Nassar, a computer science major, realize that the electronic digital computer was first developed to compute artillery trajectories for the Army? And that computers are used to design nuclear weapons and other horrible implements of destruction? Little Nicky and his bubbleheaded friend Cha-Cha are just as "guilty" as the guy they were protesting.

#4 "the electronic digital computer was first developed to compute artillery trajectories for the Army"
I thought it was the Navy, but ok. These computations involve solving certain differential equations. What?? They're using Calculus?? Ban Calculus!! They're teaching Calculus in our schools! The evil bastards!! More ketchup, more ketchup!!!

#7 I'd heard digital cameras were invented by NASA to beam images back from probes.

#8 Laying, lying, maybe Cha-Cha wanted to be laid by Nik, or maybe their Kool Aide was electric. Christ, I'm getting PTSD of my Berkeley days reading about these nutcases.....
