I dunno about you, but for me high school has so far been complete bullshit because I already knew everything I "learned." Basic math, science, and writing skills are just that, basic. My class in particular spent multiple weeks, in the honors program, to learn things like m/s * s = m, RNA has uracil instead of thymine, and "iez" is the ending for second person plural imperfect in French. That's not a waste of my time?
But the uranium dumped in the US is usually buried underground, and not close enough to population centers to do any damage. Even gamma rays can't penetrate tens or hundreds of miles of rock. The depleted uranium, while depleted, still has some radioactivity and is dumped within feet of troops, with intent to cause damage to them.
English is an inflected language? We've got 1.5 cases (plus a fake genitive, always helpful), compared to 5.5 in Latin, 8 in Greek, and 14 in Finnish. Our verb system is good (many tenses), but... it's analytical. Not inflected. Adjectives never change no matter which word they modify, nor do adverbs. Where's the inflection?
Because the bus would come and go in the time it took to type in a URL like http://www.busstatus.com/cgi-bin/nextbus.pl?stop=4 365&hr=8&min=15&day=thurs on a cell phone. Even if you let the web server handle the date/time itself, it's still much faster to posititon the camera and snap.
French? It's possible, but I thought it was closer to German grammar, because they like their verbs at the end of the sentence. However, I haven't seen any of the movies in quite a long time, so it's likely I'm wrong.
The Java test didn't cover anything like that - we got a couple of mind-numbingly simple recursive methods and had to tell what they did, and then a bunch of OO crap like "which speak() method is called, Dog's or Animal's?" The only interesting question was finding the bug in a SelectionSort method.
Technically, the Jews were in the first half and a bit of the 6th century B.C., and their writings were not written down until probably the 5th century B.C., and definitely after they rebuilt the Temple (~515 B.C.). However, their oral compositions have been dated to earlier. Do you think the Jews of the 400s B.C. knew anything about the Egypt of ~1230 B.C., the time of Moses? They didn't, so how do you explain the lack of huge inaccuracies? Also, Christianity doesn't share a whole heck of a lot with Egyptian religions (sun disks -> halos, birthday of a few different gods is Dec 25, and a few other minor things). It shares a bit more with Mithraism, but who cares? Those are the rituals, not the bliefs. Which of the two are at the heart of a religion?
Actually, most scientific theories of the flood are dated around 5,000 B.C. The two I can remember: one says a large buildup of methane under the ocean floor burst, and one says a large lake of today was a vally but a river broke through and flooded it. There was no language with which to pass anything down until 30,000-50,000 B.C.

Their load balancer has only 6 servers.
Maybe they haven't used Mr. Thingy yet.
Because in the junkyard that I call my house, it takes at least that long to find my ringing phone.
Don't worry, now it's got a "funny" to go with its 2.
They've been able to make video games about it. Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War
Crap, maybe I was. I was just recalling that number from somewhere. I've read about their verb system, though. Brilliant stuff.
The abbreviations are MiB, GiB, and PiB.
Wow, that was a bit late... stupid dial-up.
1 petabyte is 1,000 terabytes, not gigabytes...

Ditto... I wouldn't have thought it was possible for something to be easier than the course, until I took the test.
