Reason #3437 Why I'm glad I'm out of High School:
On the St. Louis news, a high school teacher was put on suspension for various things. Not following the lesson plan, letting his students use "inappropriate" technology, and oh, yeah, WIZARDRY. Because he did a disappearing toothpick trick.
There's two parts to this. One, that wizardry is an offence that needs to be punished. The second is that you're stupid enough to mistake a slight of hand trick with magic. ( There's the "does magic actually exist or not" part, but I'm tired and don't feel like it. )
In SRS Business news, apparently the hub for the AT&T/Gov'ment spying on the internets is also near St. Louis. The OMG WIZARDRY was on first.
