Documented to be breached around 1300 hours, the door was found to be, uh, dislodged with an unidentified object. The perp. was reportedly seen grasping that device by a reliable witness blah, blah, blah......"

1337 speak

Okay, 1337 is a good subject to talk about. The first thing I would like to clear up is that chatspeak and 1337 are NOT the same thing. Some lazy morons merge 1337 and chatspeak together, soon creating the popular belief that 1337 and chatspeak are the same thing.

Okay, so what /is/ 1337 in the first place? 1337 means Elite. The point of 1337 is to replace all the letters with symbols, and is quite fun to play with. 1337 was first created by some people would wanted to talk in a forum without any outsiders barging in. Some outsiders may have figured out the language and started using it as well. Eventually, 1337 became famous all over the internet. The original use of 1337 is hardly practiced any more, but it survives because many of peope use it for fun.

Public Speaking

Public speaking is what teachers make kids do to embarrass them infront of their peers, so they get teased. Teachers think its fun to watch kids get nervous and stutter because then they can give them bad marks.

Teacher:"Class, you will be doing a speech(public speaking) next week on puberty"
Class: "WHAT???"
Random kid: "AWESOME"


Teacher:"Sarah your up next"
Sarah:"Ermmmm.....ummm....puberty is...."
Teacher:"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
