Only a cynic would believe that this was not a true breakthrough in modern education. *pop*

Einstein always had it stuck in his hair.

You'd be surprised how much information can be crammed onto cheat-sheets written on gum wrappers.

I used to chew on my bottom lip whenever I saw those double-mint twins, is that related?
