This week's puzzle:
Pretentious Proverbs
Translate each sentence into a common proverb.
1. Deviation from the ordinary or common routine of existence is that which gives zest to man's cycle of existence.
2. There's no value to be derived from demanding attention by loud screeches over fallen white liquid derived from the lactic glands of a female bovine.
3. An excess of culinary experts impairs the quality of a thin derivative of meat and/or vegetables.
4. He who locks himself into the arms of Morpheus promptly at eventide, and starts the day before it is officially announced by the rising sun, excels in physical fitness, increases his economic assets and cerebrates with remarkable efficiency.
Answers to last week's puzzle:
1) Every cloud has a silver lining.
2) Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
3) Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
4) Birds of a feather flock together.
G2) Free Unschooling/Homeschooling/Alternative Eduication Films
This film festival is free online for a while. Films include five hours of interviews with John Taylor Gatto (New York State teacher of the year who resigned to promote unschooling and homeschooling), a Spanish language (with English subtitles) one about the way children learn and why the system of schooling public schools use isn't effective--it's interesting to hear the same ideas from another culture/language, one interviewing ten grown up homeschooled people, and more.
