"Morning!" Dana greeted the class, looking almost chipper. "There's a paper on your desks. If you write your name on it with the name of the team that won the Super Bowl, you get free extra credit. Did anyone watch? Anyone win any money? Because I won money. Don't gamble, kids, it's wrong and immoral but damn it's fun when you win.

"Anyway," she said, smile fading just a little bit, and wasn't happy Dana a little terrifying? "Last week I sent you all on errands to show you a little bit of what the life of the production assistant is like. Today we're going to work on research. Again, it's high-pressure. People will be throwing names and dates at you and you have to come up with information on them like that. You're not expected to know everything. However, you are expected to be able to find it.

"In a situation like a sports show, you'd have archival footage to go through, too. Since we don't really have that here, we're just going to keep it simple. You have assignments. You have till the end of class to get me as much information on your subject as possible. You can go to the library, you can use the computer lab, anything else you probably don't have time for. You don't even need to write me up a report on the person, but I want to be able to kill a few trees with all the info you give me at the end of class. We're going to be very bad to the environment today. Skip a shower tomorrow, it will completely make up for it." She could say that because she didn't have any of them in a class tomorrow.

Talk, pass your extra credit up to Dana, pass notes, stare in horror that she's smiling that much. If you talk about the Super Bowl, Dana might love you forever.

Dinah wrote up Pittsburgh Steelers over Arizona Cardinals, 27-23 and passed it forward, glad she'd caught that much of the show.

She was a little sad that she'd lost ten bucks, though.

Jenny wrote, The team with the towels. Pittsburgh, I think? and handed it in.

Amazed by how happy Ms. Whitaker was for class, Adora got out a pen and scrawled neatly on a sheaf of paper, the Steelers of Pennsylvania overcame the Cardinals of Arizona. Pleased that she remembered, Adora smiled and continued listening.

Hannibal wrote the damn Steelers STOLE it on his paper. He hadn't bet but man, the underdog had it and gave it away.

Claire looked blankly at her paper. She hadn't made it to the party, and she hadn't seen the news yet that morning.

Finally, she figured she had a 50-50 shot and just guessed blindly.

Arizona.

Turtle wasn't at all daunted by sports research. There was nothing in there that could be more 'high-pressure' than product and stocks research, really.

She had the extra credit: Pittsburgh Steelers beat Arizona Cardinals at a score of 27-23. It was a very exciting game, with the Steelers pulling out the winning points at the very end stretch of the game, which was pretty awesome, especially since I had a lot of money on them.

Even though gambling is very bad. By money, I mean candybars. Really. It's okay to bet candybars.
