[0317] White Knight
└ posted on Monday, 17 October 2011, by Novil
The current story arc started with this comic: Irrhetorical Question.
- Landon: Call me a naysayer, but I don’t think it’s possible to learn geometry through osmosis with a math book.
- Larisa: I don’t understand this stuff at all.
- Landon: Can’t you just ask somebody?
- Larisa: Sandra’s sick, Cloud’s not exactly a math genius, Justin prefers playing stupid soccer, Tim’s not answering his phone and my parents are in Boston.
- Landon: Well, I guess I could help you…
- Larisa: You could?
@ AckAckAck:
The American one and maybe the headphones one aren’t myths. They’re actual psychological techniques to help you memorize.
Carrying small pieces of paper around may help, but eating it will not.
Cue the LandonxLarisa shippers.
Heh. More like a White Knerd. >:=)>
As for shipping, I think Larissa could want Landon for his brains. He’s probably versed in subjects other than mathematics…
Landon: And now we just connect the firing wire and close the circuit.
Humongous stonking fireball: WHHHHOOOOOFF!!!!
Larissa: BOYFRIEND!! …you’ll share with Cloud if he becomes available, right?!
@ Zababcd:
Heheh, WIN!
Seriously, I doubt Landon has a chance with Larisa, even if she IS a self-proclaimed sl*t, I don’t see her going for a guy simply because he was in the right place at the right time.
Of course, this IS Sandra and Woo, so my argument is most likely invalid ^^
Who the hell is Tim? I demand an answer!
PD: Larissa´s parents are in boston showing the new “collaborative work” of Ivan and Larisa
@ gaboris:
I talk like this all the time 😀
@ Esk:
Really? In Finland, “aasinsilta” (literally, donkey’s bridge) is when you find some awkward or convoluted way to connect two subjects that aren’t actually connected.
@ gaboris:
Under ordinary circumstances, it’s for one of four reasons.
1. It’s fun to use big words
2. Some people know which specific word in the English language applies best to the present situation, and refuse to be anything less than perfect.
3. They take pleasure in seeing others become confounded by their verbiage
4. They’re writing an essay with a ridiculous word count requirement.
@ Esk:
I believe the Brits call it “American football.”
Perhaps she’s not trying to learn by osmosis, she’s just very VERY nearsighted… maybe he will lend her his glasses. 😉
Hope springs eternal in the game of young love it seems.
And so Larisa meets her future husband~
Daaaawwwww! XD
Hey! Remember, Tim! He got out of his physcology! He’s cured hurrah!
@ Quentin:
Alright, alright.
*coughs* d’aaaaaaaaaawww
Was it good ? :-3
Book osmosis. Now that’s a super power.
Totally wish you could learn stuff by osmosis
What the hell?
Three people have noted why the guy is talking bollocks (the whole osmosis / water thing), and they’ve all been down-voted… two as far as being invisible. And where are the top votes? A bunch of morons cheering for no discernible reason.
.
Is the anti-intellectualism so rampant here that correcting such a vital and fundamental error is to be squashed on sight? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
What did the mathematically inclined acorn say when it grew up?
Gee, ah’m a tree!
Geometry in 7th grade?
I see Landon has a mushroom haircut, which was popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s when I was still in High School.
Due to my recent subject in Biology class, I now know what Osmosis is!
For some reason, I felt like listening to Frog’s Theme from Chrono Trigger while reading this….and I did.
Haha, love the guy’s joke there. XP If only it we’re that simple eh? Lol.
I spent many hours sleeping on my math book in class and that is exactly what my teacher said to me too. When I had her for math again the next year, she stopped caring that I was sleeping through class, because I was one of her best students. Maybe the Osmosis did work!?!

…No, it’s because “Learning by Osmosis” is idiomatic, “Learning by Diffusion” isn’t. Since the phrase is obviously metaphorical, that kind of pedantry is totally inappropriate. (You do get that it’s a metaphor, right?)
I ship it!

Because we are! Dun dun dun! No but seriously, would you rather we talked like we were cave people?
