Modern Technology for Beginners, Tuesday, 7/24

And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know...


Tyrion grimaced at his own (not very good) singing as he came before the class. "Right," he said rapidly. "We should start before I begin telling you all about the bear and the maiden fair. Welcome to another week of 'Modern Technology for Absolute Beginners,' or -- as our overlords might like me to put it -- 'Ways These Muggle Heresies Can Kill You.' This week's class is about automobiles, which are wheeled motor vehicles used for transporting passengers that carry their own engine or motor." He paused dryly there. "It's almost as if I'm not reading the definition from a book. At any rate, most users of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, typically have four wheels, and are constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods."

"And," he added, "since I've been in one all of never, I'm not well-equipped to tell you more than that. Luckily we have a film clip all about cars and how they can kill you. Watch it, and let me know if you still have questions. As for me, I'll stick to horses."

[OOC: Video clip is a 1960 driver's ed thing that may get gory - watch at your own discretion.]

Jack wasn't paying attention to the movie. He was actually looking around the classroom and taking a headcount of who was there and who wasn't. Of the people who weren't there he was making a list to check up on them to see if they had been thrown into detention.

Or worse.

Sholeh watched the movie--through her fingers, of course.

George was, fairly sensibly he thought, watching the movie and trying not to think about musicals.

That simple task was much harder today than it usually was.
