    After all these years of testing... I should have known it was the TESTS that made me pansexual...

    No, standardized testing does make us a nation of factory-minded students-as-raw-materials assholes though. So I like to look at the glass being half full in this situation. The article does capture some notion of truth. Namely, the "standardized testing makes" part.

    So maybe the fact that I didn't really care or try on standardized tests is why I'm bisexual? I didn't try so I didn't get the full brunt of it. Well, good to know :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I think I got cancer by clicking that article. I'm also pretty sure that this last physics test I had to write made me hate nachos.

    Never gave a f*kk about tests, never studied. Still got good scores. Did my attraction to boobies give me an advantage? Or was it caused by this? Tune in next week to find out!

    Let's see...standardized tests can:

    1) make you learn for the test instead of actually learning something: check

    2) is a relic from the 20th century and signifies not much: check

    3) makes you gay...wtf?
