I hope your students enjoy mindless destruction as much as mine do!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1141182301542415922006-03-01T03:05:00.000+00:002006-03-01T03:05:00.000+00:00I love the computer destruction game.

It is the only allowed way that I will let them bang on it.<BR/><BR/>What fun!Vicki Davis @coolcatteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549879610620143027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1138371235472687182006-01-27T14:13:00.000+00:002006-01-27T14:13:00.000+00:00Thanks for this.

It is wonderful that it can translate stuff for you, but more of a "not" when it comes up with things like "chestnuts"! I guess it's like that famous quote about performing poodles (which I will paraphrase since I can't be bothered looking it up): What's amazing is not how well they can walk on two legs, but that they can do it at all.<BR/><BR/>I found I could completely destroy the monitor and system unit, but the mouse and keyboard never seemed to die completely. Maybe I get bored to quickly even when destroying things. :-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1138311807143017272006-01-26T21:43:00.000+00:002006-01-26T21:43:00.000+00:00With my Babelfish firmly in one ear -- whoa, here ...With my Babelfish firmly in one ear -- whoa, here comes my labyrinthitis again -- "Do click on the different parts of the computer, and observe the chestnuts (!?) that it delivers and the consequences. You bait yourself with him!"<BR/>(Aren't on-line translators wonderful?)<BR/>Not sure about the relationship between "blows" and "total blows" once you're into the game, but I've got to hand it to you, David -- it <B>is</B> highly satisfying.<BR/>(The mouse is a tough little critter, isn't he?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
