Transcript:
Teacher: So who'd like to read their summer vacation report first? Danae: Me, please! Teacher: Uh...Danae? Really? Danae: Yes, ma'am! I worked really hard on it! Teacher: OK... Come on up. Noise: Squeak squeak squeak. Teacher: Ah... A busy summer, I see... Danae: This is the unabridged version. I'm sure it'll be cut down a bit for the film adaptation.

Yup. She did have a motive. And quite the busy summer to back it up with her conspiracy theory an the trip to Mars 3.5 with Lars. But where did she get the time to write all that? I wonder if it’s an incredibly large font.

When that happens, cleokaya, Danae will get a F for all that work she did. The teacher won’t believe her.

Delusional? I thought it was called ‘having an imagination’. Problem with most adults… they’ve forgotten.

Only difference between Danae’s report and a legislative proposal is the little red wagon.

Hey if Ron L. Hubbard could sell Scientology…..Danae will be a millionaire in no time, AND she’ll be the Monkey Goddess.

DF: You may have to wait quite awhile - you might have heard it’s filing for bankruptcy, trying to restructure.
“But the rise of Internet-focused audiences and advertisers has caused profits to decline for over a decade and relegated the pocket-sized periodical to doctors’ offices and senior-citizen homes.” (From Forbes, re: Readers Digest)
