I was told by my teachers that you really couldn't study for the SAT because it was a measure of how much you learned through your entire school career...so I didn't. I took the first one cold. Scored poorly but got a sense of the test experience. I took it a second time, again without studying, and scored good enough to gain college admiddion. My math score sucked but my english score was quite respectable.

I'm shocked how long it is taking me to get through the elementary grade levels. Mostly it's because of my own carelessness, partly because some techniques weren't taught back in my day. However, when I am done I will happily help anyone here find the area under whatever curve is bothering you.

tl;dr: A sex toy salesperson was arrested for selling dildos at a Tupperware-style house party for sexy sexy boom chickah wah wah products. The law banning the sale of sex toys was eventually overturned on appeal in this case.

The obvious solution is to vaccinate everyone within a ten mile radius of Kennedy. This isn't rocket science.
