Would you choose water over wine?
1. Interesting question in our English class. Let's suppose you're in a car with your best friend, who's driving. You're on the copilot seat. You're in a 40 Km/h zone, but your friend is going 45. Then in a crosswalk, they almost hit a pedestrian because of the excess of speed. After the fright, a policeman is interrogating you all, and since you'd be the witness, he asks you if the driver was driving over the speed limit. Again, remember it was your friend's fault and not the pedestrian.

They asked this simple question in about 70 countries in a research about honesty. The lowest rank in telling the truth were Spanish-speaking countries, funny yet reasonably enough. He asked us which one we thought would be the highest, and several people said Germany. And it was, it was, with Norse countries like Finland as runner ups. (Suddenly, the Klavier-Gavin-studied-in-Germany fanon made SO much sense, let me tell you. Ignore Franziska, she's a special snowflake.) Don't ask me about other countries because those were the ones the teacher mentioned (plus Ireland, since he's Irish: they ranked like 8th or something, which he found really WTF)
2. Man, I suddenly felt nostalgic about diskettes. Does anyone else remember those huge 5¼ floppy diskettes? Guys, our first computer had like no memory, and the OS (MS-DOS!) was loaded from one of us, just like every other software. And data was stored there, too. And the screen only had two colors! I tell you, it was a shock to see a computer running on Windows for the first time, when I was on 8th grade. OMGWTF A MOUSE. Tiny diskettes!
