I just cannot stomache them. Even so, I far prefer them in normal everyday situations rather than in university. I have ranted on this before, but I need to mention this.
There is a gold star idiot in my ancient literature class. He makes all other idiots look good. He makes George Bush look like a friggin' nobel literature laureate. *sigh*
He has no social antennae. My professor was sick the other day, and in considerable pain. She could hardly talk and said we would have to stop the lecture, and resume it another day. She dismisses the class, and this idiot unbread bastard takes the time to ask her what she meant by this and that, and what she thinks of this and that and more things which she had already said. I could have killed him.
And now, during the lecture on the Aeneid by Vergil, the professor says that in the second song, we get the story of the Trojan horse, which was only barely mentioned by Homer.
And the idiot breaks into the lecture saying:
"the trojan force?" (hest/pest in Norwegian).
She is somewhat deaf, and doesn't understand what he is saying, assumes he just wants her to repeat, and says
"Yes, the Trojan horse."
And the idiot replies
"The Trojan force?" and goes back to writing.
I mean. If you haven't heard about the horse of Troy, you have no place in a university level lecture on ancient literature. I knew the story when I was in KINDERGARDEN!
My god, I hate the man
