There's no info as of yet on what the hell was going on in his head at time. Some people do drive like that around here, so I guess was in a hurry (for whatever reason) and failed to see the bus until it was too late, as there's a still hill just before that traffic light.

also, do you know what happened to the non-white hispanic thread? |
Winston pulled a "Troll Gambit", claiming he was trolling all along, and said "call me winston, call me pedro, call me shirley if you want...
just keep the thread going!". And the thread was then moved to the "limbo"

China - The World's Cleverest Country?
quote: | China's results in international education tests - which have never been published - are "remarkable", says Andreas Schleicher, responsible for the highly-influential Pisa tests.
These tests, held every three years by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, measure pupils' skills in reading, numeracy and science.
Pisa tests - the Programme for International Student Assessment - have become the leading international benchmark.
The findings indicate that China has an education system that is overtaking many Western countries.
While there has been intense interest in China's economic and political development, this provides the most significant insight into how it is teaching the next generation.
'Incredible resilience'
The Pisa 2009 tests showed that Shanghai was top of the international education rankings.
So why are the rising stars in Asia proving so successful?
Mr Schleicher says it's a philosophical difference - expecting all pupils to make the grade, rather than a "sorting mechanism" to find a chosen few.
He says anyone can create an education system where a few at the top succeed, the real challenge is to push through the entire cohort.
In China, he says this means using the best teachers in the toughest schools.
The shifting in the balance of power will be measured again with Pisa 2012, with pupils sitting tests from Stockholm to Seoul, London to Los Angeles, Ankara to Adelaide.
"I don't think of Pisa as being about ranking, it tells you what's possible. How well could we be doing?" |
