    Exactly. That’s the first thing your use a dictionary for.

    It’s a good thing they didn’t look in the thesaurus.

    While the absurdity of banning a dictionary makes for good comic one liners . . . one wonders why the district didn't have an elementary level dictionary at the elementary schools to begin with. That particular dictionary was a collegiate-level.

    Why is that not banned yet!? We don't need that stuff seeping into our water and poisoning our water supply!
    It's a weak acid, thousands of people die from it every year and is an industrial solvent too!
    I'm addicted to it I have to have eight doses a day just so I can function. DAMN DIHYDRO

    They found dihyrodgen monoxide in our bathrooms last term and it had to be closed off for investigation.

    (SPOILER)I remember in 10th grade when my Biology teacher made that joke, I looked like such a freak since I was the only person who actually got it, so I was laughing a lot and everyone else was like "That's not funny, Jessica, Dihydrogen Monoxide is srs bidnizz. "

    You may have gotten it in 10th grade, but I distinctly remember you not getting it when I told it to you a few years ago.

    I think Penn & Teller tried to get signatures to ban Dihydrogen monoxide. Or was that to ban women's suffrage (another hilarious one)? Good times.

    I really know I should get that joke, I know there's something off about the words "hydrogen" and "oxide", but I'm just drawing a blank.

    Edit: Oh, I get it. It's water.

    When the world needs a pick-me-up, we can turn to the paranoid folk for a good laugh.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I don't remember if it was Penn & Teller, but I do recall watching a video online about a petition to end women's suffrage. It was hilarious.

    I also remember seeing this, and I recall only one girl saying "WHAT? NO!".

    I always found this pretty funny too.

    I found a youtube clip of the women's suffrage "petition," and it wasn't Penn & Teller (they must have done a dihydrogen monoxide one). Still amusing.

    The one girl who says "no!" is at 2:32.

    Wait, oral sex is in the dictionary? ...if the dictionary recognizes it, it must be okay, right? *runs off to have oral sex, get teen pregnant, get addicted to marijuana, and die tragically at the age of eighteen in a suicide bomb plane*

    Seriously, what do they think that kids are going to get from this? If they're looking up the word, they obviously already know what it means and are just doing it for the "tehe" factor of looking up naughty words in school.
