    I use fragments all the time. Well, not with reckless abandon…but complete sentences just don’t have the same oomph, y’know?

    just me: I did read the post, and it’s that exact phrase that I take issue with. I really don’t think that girls should be shteiging all day. I just think that it’s utterly ridiculous to call napkin-folding and egg-roll making “Toras Habayis,” and let them take precedence over actual Torah. It’s very nice and all, but if a school wants to implement such classes, they should be strictly extra-curricular and non-mandatory. As cinderella says, a cookbook is usually quite sufficient.

    than leaning how to read a RaMBaM.

    But then parents spend $20,000+ for their daughters to acquire that selfsame skill in seminary? Where’s the logic, I ask you?

    I had such a class in high school, by the way. It was called Home Economics, and we learned how to make swans out of apples. Oh, and how to make homemade pizza on a pita. Biggest time-waster of LIFE. And that was instead of a Physics class that could have gotten be ahead in college.

    What AZOI.IS says about classes in how to deal with real-life issues is much more valid, in my opinion. It makes a lot of sense to incorporate such classes into Bais Yaakov curricula. (I had one of those classes too, and I liked it a lot.)

    P.S. I learned how to check vegetables in Halacha class. My friends in other schools did as well.

    What about the midrash that says that each of the shvatim was born with a twin whom they married? I always wondered how they were allowed to do that…

    I don’t understand why people keep on trumpeting this idea. Why should a girl waste her education on learning skills that she will spend the rest of her life perfecting? Which is more important, pretty napkins or a love of Torah (that she will pass on to her children)?

    The principal was a teacher of mine in seminary. It’s academic, but more hashkafically oriented than textual. That’s all I know about it.

    What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?

    ….In buildings, people would start floating gently upwards until they bumped into the ceiling. Outdoors, however (or in buildings with GIANT ceilings), things would start floating away from the Earth gently but eventually go much faster, as their straight lines took them farther and farther away from the circular path that the spinning Earth takes.

    …In fact, the force you would need to hold on and keep yourself from flying away from the Earth is very weak, only about 0.3% as strong as the force of gravity (and even weaker away from the equator).

    I think you forgot some emphasis.

    (Of course, the whole planet would have disintegrated as well, so you might not notice.)

    “…it would probably have been a great satisfaction to her to know that in a minute and a half or so he would suddenly evaporate into a whiff of hydrogen, ozone and carbon monoxide. However, when the moment came she would be too busy evaporating herself to notice it.”

    That’s not her problem, though. That just will give her the top searches starting with whatever she typed in. She wants it to autofill from her history. I think her problem is that her history is somehow set to wipe after every session.

    Your extreme example is realer than you think – little random me even knows a case eerily similar (B”H resolved).

    It’s kind of ironic, really. In order to even out the playing ground, women gain the sympathy advantage – which they in turn use to abuse the men. But I guess it’s inevitable.

    Firefox: Click on the Firefox button, click on Options –> Privacy –> Location Bar, set to desired option.

    Chrome: Dunno. You probably should just switch to Firefox.

    IE: Definitely switch to Firefox.

    Lol…I’m one of those strange people who has contradictory interests, yet is too devoted to them to give up one set for the sake of the other. If I transfer, it’ll be to an engineering school, and then it’s bye bye B.A. 🙁 Hence the quandary.

    I think I’m gonna ask my school if I can cross-register with some other school, so I can get the classes that might actually be able to integrate the two majors. Or if they’ll just grant me the silly dual degree.
