But she doesn't cook or clean. I don't think she's a proper pet - she's just lazy.

My human pet cleans, does laundry, provides childcare AND cooks when required. :wub:

Speaking of Euph - I'm starting to wonder if he's even alive anymore. I've not heard anything from him since he moved to Canada. Does he still use the internet at all? If so I shall email the bastard. :D

I might just do that when I get home. Assuming I can find your number anywhere. :)

It's kind of cute.

You know what I suspect these two lovebirds need, a way to bring them even closer together. They can even have contests with the right equipment. Simply a magnificent way for a couple to explore even profounder 'depths' of intimacy.

I like the idea of weighing excrement for dietary purposes but it only takes a cursory examination to ask the question, "So, why don't you just weigh yourself before and after defecation to calculate the resulting difference?"

Inventors hate questions like that.

Retired Teacher Reveals He Was Illiterate Until Age 48

OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- John Corcoran graduated from college and taught high school for 17 years without being able to read, write or spell.

Corcoran's life of secrecy started at a young age. He said his teachers moved him up from grade to grade. Often placed in what he calls the "dumb row," the images of his tribulations in the classroom are still vividly clear.

"I can remember when I was 8 years old saying my prayers at night saying please god tomorrow when it's my turn to read please let me read. You just pretend that you are invisible and when the teacher says, 'Johnnie read,' you just wait the teacher out because you know the teacher has to go away at some point," said Corcoran.

Corcoran eventually started acting up to hide his illiteracy. From fifth through seventh grade he was expelled, suspended and spent most of his days at the principal's office.

The former teacher said he came from a loving family that always supported him.

"My parents came to school and it no longer was a problem for me reading because this boy Johnnie the -- native alien I call him -- he didn't have a reading problem as far as the teachers were concerned. He had an emotional problem. He had a psychological problem. He had a behavioral problem," said Corcoran.

Corcoran later attended Palo Verde High School in Blythe, Calif. He cheated his way through high school, receiving his diploma in June 1956.

"When I was a child I was just sort of just moved along when I got to high school I wanted to participate in athletics. At that time in high school I went underground. I decided to behave myself and do what it took. I started cheating by turning in other peoples' paper, dated the valedictorian, and ran around with college prep kids," said Corcoran.

"I couldn't read words but I could read the system and I could read people," adds Corcoran.

He stole tests and pursuaded friends to complete his assignments. Corcoran earned an athletic scholarship to Texas Western College. He said his cheating intensified, claiming he cheated in every class.

"I passed a bluebook out the window to a friend I painstakingly copied four essay questions off the board in U.S. government class that was required, and hoped my friend would get it back to me with the right answers," Corcoran said.

In 1961, Corcoran graduated with a bachelor's degree in education, while still illiterate he contends. He then went on to become a teacher during a teacher shortage.

"When I graduated from the university, the school district in El Paso, where I went to school, gave almost all the college education graduates a job," said Corcoran.

For 17 years Corcoran taught high school for the Oceanside School District. Relying on teacher's assistants for help and oral lesson plans, he said he did a great job at teaching his students.

"What I did was I created an oral and visual environment. There wasn't the written word in there. I always had two or three teacher's assistants in each class to do board work or read the bulletin," said Corcoran.

In retrospect, Corcoran said, his deceit took him a long time to accept.

"As a teacher it really made me sick to think that I was a teacher who couldn't read. It is embarrassing for me, and it's embarrassing for this nation and it's embarrassing for schools that we're failing to teach our children how to read, write and spell!"

While still teaching, Corcoran dabbled in real estate. He was granted a leave of absence, eventually becoming a successful real estate developer.

It wasn't until he was 48 years old that he gave reading and writing another chance. He drove to an inconspicuous office with a sign he couldn't read. He studied and worked with a tutor at the Literacy Center of Carlsbad. Assigned to a 65-year-old volunteer tutor, Eleanor Condit, he was able to read at a sixth-grade level within a year.

"I'm just an optimistic hopeful person that believes in the impossible and miracles," said Corcoran.

Carlsbad City Library literacy coordinator Carrie Scott said people of all walks of life go through the reading program, including teachers.

Corcoran is now an education advocate.

"I believe that illiteracy in America is a form of child neglect and child abuse and the child is blamed and they carry the shame, if we just teach our people how to read we'd give them a fair chance," Corcoran said.

He has written two books, "The Teacher Who Couldn't Read" and "Bridge to Literacy." He is also the founder of the John Corcoran Foundation. The foundation is state-approved as a supplemental service provider for literacy in Colorado and California – providing tutoring programs for over 600 students in small group settings, and individually in homes through an online program.

Basically a sociopath that swindled his way through his 'education' and 'career'.

Wonder how many students were 'incommoded' with bad marks in order to accommodate his shortcomings.

Comedian Lenny Henry calls TV industry racist

By Nicole Martin, Digital and Media Correspondent
Last Updated: 2:31am GMT 08/02/2008

Lenny Henry, the comedian, attacked the television industry, accusing it of discriminating against ethnic minorities.

He called for "affirmative" action to increase the number of black and Asian people in senior roles at the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five.

"I'm not talking about cleaners, security guys or anyone wearing a uniform," he told an audience at the Royal Television Society.

"I'm talking about decision makers, producers, directors and commissioners."

Henry said that urgent steps were needed to give people who did not benefit from an Oxbridge education the chance to get a job in the industry.

The comedian was speaking only weeks after figures showed that the BBC employed fewer senior managers from ethnic minority backgrounds than it did four years ago.

Clearly a fascist of the Leftist Church Of Multiculturalism. He should stick to comedy, not every company will be 'representative' of the ethnic composition of a country's populace. The 'old boys club' will disadvantage their non-member rivals and competition irrespective of race.

He really shouldn't stick to comedy. His last show was painful to watch, even more so as it was paid for by the BBC licence fee. If he was ever funny, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't, it was twenty years ago.
