so i found 3 quotes in 2 articles in 1 magazine to be somewhat amusing.
1st article is about how female college acceptance rates are lower because, essentially, universities strive for 50:50 girl to guy ratios; girls do better in school and are more likely to go to college; thus, more female applicants than boys. Said article was written by Alex Kingsbury, whose gender presumably = M.
Quotes:
"Across the board, girls study more, score better, and are less likely to be placed in special education classes."
and then:
"The problem is that while women have made dramatic progress, men have not..."
2nd article is much shorter - more blurb-ish, really - about the link between heart disease and neurological diseases. Said article was written by Nancy Shute, whose gender presumably = F.
Quote:
"Wearing helmets when bicycling, skiing, or doing other high-speed sports substantially reduces the risk of head injury."
humm... i mean, i don't even know what to say. 1 step forward, past the Special Olympic contestants; 5 pedals back, lightyears behind Lance.
in conclusion, you should go see Transformers. the dialogue and character development = eh. (except, claire and i agree, for "Autobots, ROLL OUT!" and really anytime Optimus Prime speaks. My favorite interchange might be:
Optimus Prime: "Megatron!"
Megatron: "Prime!")
but the movie itself is PHENomenal. our generation had the BEST cartoons.
