You know...I really hate when teachers give you some obscure topic to research in a short span of time. You want a list of the names of every Roman Emperors pet? You want detailed information on some Catholic spin off cult in Arkansas? Fine. I don't doubt it's somewhere on the internet. That doesn't mean I can find it in two minutes. What do you expect? Would you like me to pull a five page report complete with colorful illustrations out of my ass? Sorry...I don't have printing capabilities.

You could get the nit-pickiest teacher asking for a 12 page research paper on the migrating habits of the European Swallow. They figure, "This ain't the olden days where I had to go down to that there library and turn pages. We gots the intranet!" Did it ever occur to you, oh old and decrepit one, that the internet is a vast wasteland of crap, with the occasional learning aid stuffed in there? No....didn't think so.
