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!"

Angela looked at the pile of plastic with distaste. Was she really expected to put it on?

She twirled in her chair and looked round for a partner.

Armed with a padded suit and strenuous hours of training under a samurai sushi master to get down all the necessary scary grunts and yells - you should hear his 'baka no teenager!', he's got quite the growl going on - Jude stands ready to defend his chosen browser.

"I just wanted to say thanks for that handwavey letter. I think it really helped." Jude spread his arms. "I'm back, after all."

Jude held up a finger, unconsciously imitating Setsuna's dispensing-Buddhist-wisdom pose. "That's when the spin comes in. Today's class was a serious debate over the relative merits of browers and programming. Duh."
