History in Living Colour - Friday, Period 3 (Week 10)

Students arriving for class today would find themselves in the Danger Shop which looked a good deal like the workshop of Leonardo Da Vinci. That's because it was a recreation of Leonardo Da Vinci's workshop. Models dangled from the ceiling, candlelight added some illumination to the sunlight streaming in from the large windows.

Every table in the large room was cluttered with maps and drawings and paintings and models. Then there was the inventor himself. The Doctor didn't say anything by means of introduction, but instead stood at the back of the crowd. Da Vinci would speak for himself.

Talk Amongst Yourselves

As you do best. Maybe explain to those not in the know (and who didn't read the syllabus) who the old guy is.

I have a new XBox 360, Guitar Hero World Tour and a free weekend. Guess what I'll be doing?

Da Vinci was puttering away at the back table, gazing out the window from time to time as if finding inspiration from the view below. He looked up when the class had gathered. "Well, come in, come in, welcome! Lovely how those two words fit together so well-come-ingly isn't it?"

Peyton was here and a bit awed at the chance to talk to herself Da Vinci.

Robin had never noticed that before. "Oh yeah!" he realized. "They do!"

It's too humid for that!

Re: OOC

But that requires being out in the sun, and I'm morally opposed to such an act!

The old man beamed. "Well, don't just stand there, my dear - are you a frog? A speaking frog? Goodness, the world is full of miracles. Or perhaps the glue I was using earlier was far stronger than I had imagined. Still, come, speak with me."

"I prefer the miracles theory." Robin giggled. "What are you working on now?"

Dick was here and couldn't help but wonder if Da Vinci could have turned himself into a protector of the night, fighting crime in Renaissance Italy with the help of amazing gadgets of his own invention.

It was possible.

Reading a book?

Does the instruction manual for the XBox count?

Re: OOC

SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE HELL GIANT SPIDER.

Back in junior high, I had a friend who did a book report on the Windows 95 manual. Since this is also a Microsoft product, I think it must.

But why would you read the manual? Just start pressing buttons and see what happens!

Re: OOC

[identity profile] veryarthurdent.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahahahaha I've already done that part. Breaking stuff open and just playing without reading the instructions is half the fun! Now that that's out of the way, I'm trying to figure out how to set up XBox Live, so that requires the instruction manual.

The friend with the manual book report had a moment of awesomeness that day.
