US Government [Friday, April 13, 1st period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

There was a lectern in the front of the class with a hastily sketched seal of the President of the United States on in.

Josh lounged behind it. "Okay. We've talked about all of the major branches of government and ignored what the states do, as is right and proper. There is one more group of people we should probably talk about. Their job is to misinterpret everything you do, poke holes in your brilliant programs, and general make your life miserable. They call themselves the Fourth Estate and think they're sooooooo important just because they're protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution."

Josh made a "blah, blah, blah" gesture with his hands. "They are the press corps and a bigger bunch of incompetent alcoholics you couldn't hope to meet. Today, you get to be them!"

He straightened up behind the lectern. "And I will be myself and tell you all why you're wrong."

Environmentally conscious and everything. So what happens in the winter when it's kind of dark?

Hibernation.

I'm programmed to hate sleep so I'm not that lucky.

!!! That is very sad. So does that mean that if I'm awake at like five AM, I can wander down the hall and find you doing robo-things?

That's when I'm programmed to turn the crank that makes the sun rise. I do that in the Preserve.

Bring a flashlight. Just in case my batteries run out.

Do you run on AAs or what?

No, solar batteries. I'm an environmentally friendly machine.

I didn't realize there was a difference.
