1. I am the enemy to some of you - I am a high school (math) teacher. Sometimes when I give a Unit 2 Test (or a "U2" test - get it?) in a particular course, I add the following at the end:

    “U2” BONUS QUESTIONS: Circle the appropriate answers:

    Scoring:
    1 correct no bonus
    2 correct ½-mark bonus
    3 correct 1-mark bonus

    1. What is the name of U2’s lead guitarist?
    a) Slash
    b) The Wedge
    c) The Edge

    2. During which decade did U2 form?
    a) 1970’s
    b) 1980’s
    c) 1990’s

    3. Which of these songs is NOT on the classic album Achtung Baby?
    a) “Beautiful Day”
    b) “One”
    c) “Mysterious Ways”


    These questions are common knowledge to (hopefully) all of us. However, there is a 1 in 27 chance that if you guess randomly at these questions you`ll get all three correct. I recently gave this test to 60 of my students. Guess how many got perfect?

    Hahaha that's great. You should integrate it into your class more. "If Edge is standing at a 40 degree angle to Bono's right, and Bono is standing at a 180 degree angle from Larry, what angle will be created when Bono inevitably moves over to shove the microphone in Edge's face?"

    I teach English, and when we do poetry, I give them a packet of Bono's lyrics, and they always flip through it and say, "Wait, are these ALL from the same band?" Then they sigh, and I force them to listen to the music while we read along.
  4. None of my teachers ever did anything U2 related . Only thing we ever did was listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday once in my 7th grade English class. I might have been a better math student had I gotten some U2 extra credit questions to boost my scores!!!
  5. I can't chose which of these two will be my new avatar...



    I think I like the first one better.
  6. If I had any of you guys for teachers we would have an amazing time LOL <333 I always reference u2 in my essays and doodle the claw and the Popmart stage, etc on my hw
  7. Hello, people

    We finally got to Tuscany - and I managed to get a free wifi


    Quick summary:
    If I didn't have friends and family back in Spain, I could stay here forever.

    Final judgement:
    This is all so fucking amazing.


    Ciao!

    I (well, "we" - my wife and I) went to Tuscany on my honeymoon five years ago. It's my favourite place on earth.

    I can now understand why.
  10. which program do you guys use to split mp3's into seperate tracks?
  11. mp3directCut. Easy, light, free. I would post a link if l could, but l can't ==> google it.
  12. never been to Tuscany before but one of my oldest pals fell in love with it over ten years ago and keeps going back there ever since, at least twice a year - so there must be something magical about it. Great to hear you love it that much
