The torsional stress placed upon the lampost exceeded its design limits, as it was not designed to resist the stress of this scenario. The lampost was clearly abused by the person in the video, who intentionally and recklessly excceeded the torsional strees of the lampoost.

Step 1. Turn off caps lock
Step 2. Use a preposition
Step 3. Actually, just don’t post at all.

Maybe you could use some of your CM stuff to make an amazing tribute album. :D

LOL – I know all about trying to talk to someone without conveying that you think they are hmmm less than intelligent. I am not sure I could teach.

My brother teaches physics – he loves the students that come to his office and ask “So, what can I do to raise my grade?” And then flee when he pulls out extra-credit problems. He does not even want to know what they were expecting him to offer.

Sounds like he’s trying to play “deep, mysterious, and intelligent”, and coming off as “pretentious and irritating” instead…

“So…can I break up my thesis sentences with other sentences that aren’t related to the thesis?”

Me: “…Um, why would you have unrelated sentences in your thesis?”

Him: “Well, not unrelated, but sentences that the reader wouldn’t understand. You know, until later, when you explained them.”

Me: “Well, that would be an organizational problem. You don’t ever want to confuse your reader, so you need to organize your sentences so they create a logical progression of information.”

Him: “So…you’re saying that I can’t break up my argument with other sentences, then? Even if the reader might be able to figure out what I mean by them?”

Me (Being very careful not to sound exasperated or condescending): “The bottom line is this…it isn’t your reader’s responsibility to figure out what you are trying to say. It is YOUR responsibility as a writer to communicate your ideas and claims clearly to the reader. So no…don’t put in anything that will confuse your reader.”

Him: “Okay!”

I’ve got my priorities straight! I do the minimum I can at work, and put all my good effort into school. :D ‘S the only way to do it. I’m just starting to lose out on lots of sleepy-time.
