Joe's Angry Ranting Page
Things that piss Joe off. He wouldn't stop bugging me until I gave him a page.
Written by: Joe, the kid voted "Most Likely to Emit Strange Noises" by his Africa (Area Studies) class. With help from his sister. Me.
In order of outrageous prices:
-$12 billion-
To manufacture a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300° C after American astronauts realized that they cannot write in zero gravity with a ballpoint pen. The Russians used a pencil. Proud to be an American.
-$80 million-
To launch a probe to land on a comet. (Which has no gravitational pull.) All this to see what a comet is made of, let's see, what did we learn in school? Rock. Ice. Dirt. Anything else? No, our president is just a dumbass. And what ended up happening? The probe knocked the comet off course, and now it's flying into the sun with the probe still attached. And the government's excuse? Cover it up by saying..."Now we're going to get closer to the sun than we ever have before!" And everyone else is like..."Ooh boy! The sun! It's going to be soooo pretty! It's going to be a brilliant burst of yellow and orange!" I could draw a brilliant burst of yellow and orange with a crayon. That is all.
-$10,000-
To pay for the copyrights to have the Project Wisdom messages on the morning announcements at our high school. These PW announcements are saying things like..."be friendly!" "don't gossip!" "be original!" "let's all join hands and sing a song!" And then tell us how five different countries say it! Yay! For example: the Chinese said it THIS way! "Be good to people!" "Don't tell lies!" "Be yourself!" and the Italians say it this way: "Be nice to people!" "Tell the truth!" "Don't follow the crowd!" and the British say it this way: "Be a friendly person!" "Be honest!" "Find your own way!" and so on. They do all this after the BUDGET CUT that sliced half the school clubs budget that actually have a PURPOSE. Ooh, they're starting renovations on the Science wing next year, with the money that they saved from chosing Project Wisdom over Project Knowledge, that cost $20,000. Skool is fo' fools!
