It’s September 5. 
Today is National “Be Late for Something Day.”  Please don’t celebrate!  At least not in this class!

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”--Mahatma Gandhi (Indian activist and humanitarian)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  spurious (adjective) – this word describes something that is plausible (believable) but actually false.  Look at today’s trivial fact.  This was actually proven false by the Mythbusters, but it sounds true.  Can you think of any other trivial facts that might be spurious?
