Didn't you already post the details? You had sex in the server room, right?

In 10th grade Psychology I learned that the girl in the row next to me and 2 seats up never wore underwear and liked to wear skirts.

V=IR; Kirchoff's current and voltage law.

And from my one and only philosophy class I found it far better use of time to listen to those you disagree with than those you agree with, from one you learn a new perspective from the other you hear what you already believe.

how to think

You can't learn that, you're born with it as a human being (actually, upon further review, the OCCASIONAL human being is born with it, the rest go along without pretending to have thoughts.)

Two things:

Once in a college speaking engagement, a banker told us "Only 5% of what you're taught, you will ever use". Kind of gave me justification for slacking off 95% of the time :D

And in a college Statistics class, the prof showed us what games and how to wager in craps to give us the best chance of winning when we gamble. It was appropriate in timing, as my girlfriend and I were going on a cruise the following week.
