For those who are sports-impaired like me, I believe Frazz is referring to an Ironman Triathlon. I must confess it took me quite a while to understand what on Earth he meant by having trouble finishing a comic / movie / whatever.

My school district currently has students that speak 86 different languages and had 1400 homeless students last year. Only 3% of students in Finland are living in poverty compared to 56% of students in my district. US schools with poverty rates comparable to Finland’s perform better than Finnish schools on international exams.
