Not only do we have to read what appears to be a childrens book, but we are also having a meeting to discuss its content.

I had a differntial equations class where an L. Ron Hubbard book was required reading. I refused to buy or read the book. 10% of all tests were based on the book. Instead of answering the questions I mocked the professor in the alloted space. I still got an A, good times.

I thought it was going to be "who moved my cheese" or something. That's never a good sign when that book comes around...

I think you should write up a review, that would be cool.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Westy again.


NOOOooooooo.....damn it!! Pure gold I say!

Side note....why the hell would a differential equations class have a Sci-fi author's (and general crackpot...) book as required reading....did he do some alien math in some of his writings??

It was some glossy paged cartoon book, supposedly taught new approaches to studying better. My money was on subliminal scientology brainwashing, well that or the prof was getting kickbacks from the book sales.

Good on ya westy. Id've tried to do the same. **** scientology.
Luckily the class was graded on a curve, at the end of it all I had an 89% average after losing 10% on every test and quiz. So I had the room to **** with the teacher.


Here was the book
