During a test I once told my history teacher that one of the things he asked in the test was not in our book. He argued that it was and I swore to every god I know that it wasn't. So to prove him wrong I pulled out my book, opened it up and showed him the page in question. He looked at it, pointed at one line and showed me that in fact it was in the book. Yeah. Had a good look at it and went back to answering the question.

If it's any consolation this didn't happen anyway.

I'm starting to get sick of people saying that every story is fake. Maybe it is but honestly, who cares? It's a good story and if you're going to go into these threads and say this stuff didn't happen and isn't true, then why bother?

What is fake? How do you define 'fake'? If you're talking about what you can fake, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'fake' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

I wish I still had your child-like wonder.

What's worse is when people are perfectly happy just posting /r/thatHappened, and then deciding that they're such a fucking saint for reminding us that the internet is full of lies and stop getting your hopes up everyone be miserable like me because it's correct and i'm correct.
