I know that's why they have the preloader. The MP3 with the correct bitrate (it has to be 11khz, 22khz, or 44khz and the only one I can get is 44) just won't upload. I keep getting "There was a problem." Think perhaps it's the audio converter that's screwing it up?

I have angst because of that new Jeff Foxworthy show on FOX, "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?". It's so pointless. I mean, What kind of able-minded ADULT can't answer simple questions, like which hemisphere North America is located in. Those questions are so mind-numbingly easy that this show is quite possibly the EASIEST way to win (and I'm using the word "win" loosely) a million dollars. I happened to catch a glimpse of last night's episode, and it showed this woman getting the question, "True or false: North America in the Northern Hemisphere," and she said that it was in the EASTERN hemisphere, which was completely irrelevant to the question! She managed to get a TRUE OR FALSE question wrong. Also, when people lose, they make them say into the camera, "I'm dumber than a 5th Grader," or something of the like. The only reason I wouldn't get on that show when I'm old enough is that it won't be around by then, and would probably be replaced with another pointless FOX reality show. No one can be that stupid; that show MUST be staged...

I thought it was a cool show; the questions seem easier to US because we are closer to our years as grade school students than fully grown adults are. It shows how much you can forget (or maybe just how terrible schools were in our parents' time). I personally never remember anyone teaching me how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon, 'cause I came from a crappy school. So I could lose there.

Perhaps it shows that you don't need to know most of what you learn in school.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

I, for one, do not know how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon either. Screw non-metric systems!

I think this is the point, yes, but when a CEO of a CONSTRUCTION company can't tell you the area of a square of side 12... ya.

Why does a CEO need to know that? It's not like they're building anything with their own hands.

Oh, this reminds me, (this isn't angsty) but I CORNERED my geometry teacher. She was pwned.
Some student: Is your life exciting, Ms. Couch?
Ms. Couch: Not really.
Some other student: Like, you don't go home and do geometric stuff just for fun?
Ms. Couch: No, I don't even like to balance my checkbook. Now, notes today are on--
Me: A-HAH! You JUST SAID that we're never going to have to use this junk later in life! Am I right?
Friend: Oooooooh!!!
Ms. Couch: ...
Me: I win.

Ha, Ms. Couch, sounds like someone who owns this couch warehouse full of used furniture.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Area of a square? That kind of stuff counts as geometry. No one learns geometry in elementary school!
