Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 9/20, 3rd Period

The danger room is set up like a Japanese garden, complete with low benches, soothing waterfall sounds and the scent of flowers. The only thing out of place is the large red mat with a white circle on it, and the goth chick holding a gong.

GONNNGGGG

"I love doing that." Abby grinned over the fading echo of the gong. "As you can see, we're doing today's class in a slightly different environment. I'll get to that point in a minute."

"Last week you learned how to use ISP's to sign onto the internet, this week we're going to learn how to look at it. We're talking about browsers today. They're a program that you use to access text, images and information on the web." Abby said, giving a very informative lecture.

"Ask most any geek and they'll tell you why their browser is the best. Some of us even have multiple browsers that we use for different tasks." Abby smiled and pointed to a pile of flesh colored plastic. "Today, we'll discover which browser is the best by a totally scientific experiment."

"Fake sumo wrestling."

Abby banged the gong again loudly. "Grab a suit and let's get our sumo on!"

"We could help each other up and call it a draw?" Door offers, rolling in his general direction.

"That is possibly an idea that has great merit," Pete mumbled, and rolled onto his side.

Door manages to get to one knee without falling over, and offers him her hand.

Pete grabbed at her hand and pushed up with the other. "I feel like a cannon ball or somethin'."
notajar: (smile over shoulder)

"We'd be moving a lot faster if we were cannonballs," Door says, laughing as she's pulled to her feet.

'Only if there were a cannon here abouts. Otherwise, they just kinda roll around uselessly."

"Do you think this is one of them . . . metaphor things for the browsers?"
notajar: (considering)

Door contemplates this. "They're useless for anything else, so you might as well shoot them?" she offers.

"Sounds about right to me."
