    The old learning by osmosis theory. I think I even tried that myself, as a kid – once – ( it didn’t work then, either. )

    In 10th grade I ha a business class that I never wanted to take. I slept through most, if not all, of the class every day. When teacher passed out the final test, I took mine (after initially declining it) to use as a “pillow”. As I was putting my head down, I noticed a question, and realized I knew the answer. I wrote it down. Then another, and another, and……….

    I had the highest score in the class. Not a good grade mind you, but the best. (Doesn’t say much for the teacher’s teaching skills, does it?)

    I was wondering who the heck “Edgar Case” was. Didn’t make the connection.

    “Subliminal” tapes were very popular twenty-five years ago.

    I’m familiar with the name. I just didn’t make the connection between “Case” and “Cayse” at first.

    Got on the tube in London, a man had put down a newspaper to sit on (the seats aren’t always sanitary). Another man asked him if he could read that newspaper if the sitter wasn’t reading it. The sitter stood up, turned a page, sat back down, and said, “I’m not done yet.”

    I tried the ‘hitting your self with each page of the book’ method, and that didn’t work.

    I’m in high school. The best way to study is to read the stuff and take notes as you’re reading it. Then have the book as far away as possible when you’re relaxing and tring to sleep in bed!

    It did work for Edgar CAYCE, an American psychic (1877 – 1945), when he was a kid. He had terrible trouble even with spelling, so, he put the book under his pillow one night and when he woke up in the morning, his Father could ask him any word…even beyond the ones he was supposed to know that day…and he could spell every one of them.

    I had a 1 1/2 hour philsophy class that at about half way through I would close my eyes and zone. I pretty much couldn’t help it, even if I got plenty of sleep the night before I couldn’t process all the information if I didn’t zone out. I wasn’t really asleep and would only go out for about 15-20 minutes. But despite the fact that I was at the front of the class, the teacher only got annoyed the first time, since I would usually “come back” with a relavant question/comment and frequently took notes during (though they were not conscience and were not the most legible, I’m a kienitic learner and the physical act of writting what was important.)

    @omnius; “I’m sure the republican r’tards haven’t figured this cartoon out yet, bet they’re still putting books under their pillows hoping for osmosis to make them smart.”

    I see you’re still stirring the pot, California boy. Sneering doesn’t become you. Maybe we ought to have a ‘Dutch Uncle’ chat someday. Introduce you to Critical Thinking 101, or the like.

    Actually suzleigh, it’ll be her daddy Joe that’ll blow when she fails her geography test. And Katie will delight in the outcome.
