"Education" Riddle

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” - A. Einstein
What is education?

Greatness

"Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" to serve. You don't have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love, and you can be that servant." - Martin Luther King, Jr., from sermon "The Drum Major Instinct".

Cute Takes the Library

I encountered eager eyes recently at the library. This was followed by smiling, and flirtatious body language, from a girl standing otherwise idly near the catalogue computers. She struck me as silly; I smiled, and she came right over and asked me what I was doing. I was using a catalogue computer. She wasted no time in asking if I thought she was cute. I affirmed it, and she took this as an invitation to share my computer and consider my search results. She remained exceedingly friendly while making suggestions and recommending titles, but I thought her recommendations seemed, a bit haphazard, and I declined them. When I headed to the shelves for my book she kept right behind me. She seemed innocent of the library's "climate of privacy," and although I began to feel awkward by her attention and giggling and carrying on, her "cuteness" maintained its appeal.


In order to prevent her from taking a table with me I kept walking, and I lead her to the magazine section. She picked out a swimwear catalogue and asked me if I liked girls. I replied, "The World is our family - and I like all people." She declared me "weird." I started moving again and she quickly followed up with compensatory compliments.


She did carry a book with her, and finally she started a gentle song and dance - lifting her feet and tapping the book on her knees. She started singing, "La-coo-ka-ra-cha, la-coo-ka-ra-cha," and she asked me to join her! I was curious about her age, so she held up her hands and told me, "I'm this many," and displayed six digits.
