Okay, down here in Floriduh, we have this stupid useless thing called the FCAT. I have no idea what it stands for, but there have been many suggestions to what it means, many of which having the F in FCAT equal ********. Go figure. Anywho, my friend, Sam, and I were talking about it last night and we couldn't figure out why in the hell we need it. I mean, questions like:

"If train A is going 345mph and train B is 900 miles away from Albequerque and a jet plane leaving Japan has 10 asians, 50 americans, and 1 australian on it explodes and is diving down into the Pacific ocean at 7:43PM. Where is Pittsburg?"

are really going to screw us over in life. We will constantly be counting how many asians, americans, and australians get on a plane and we will calculated the percentage chance of randomly exploding into the Pacific ocean! But we'll also be worrying about where the hell Pittsburg is!

That's just an example, questions aren't really that random and it was quite exagerated, but these. THESE are NOT exagerated! I hate, honestly hate, no disliking, I HATE questions that ask:

"What was the author's main purpose for writing this article?"

WHO THE HELL KNOWS?! Do you want me to call him/her during the test and ask "hey why'd you write Slinkie Fun article?" It's an opinionated question! And the answers to choose from are always:

A. to inform you about slinkies
B. to entertain you about reading about slinkies
C. to warn you about slinkies

But they never have like:

D. to ride a subliminal message into your heads

Because of course, some nice author can't possibly be sending it via writing an article about slinkies... you never know.

Theend.
