Exam Time
I'm not going to lie to you guys. I'm stressed. I have 3 days to learn two fundamental law school courses. I know I know, see DS's post as to why I shouldn't be stressing, but let's just say my bar fees are contingent on a few H's. Anyway, I've taken the time from studying and written my ideal law school exam. Like our own exams, you may not consult the internet for an answer.
1. What is the one true and only way to eat an Oreo?
2. Football
(a) What is the origin of the team name Green Bay Packers?
(b) Who modeled for the Heisman Trophy pose?
(c) Why is it called a down?
3. Baseball.
(a) What is the origin of the seventh inning stretch?
(b) Infield fly rule. Explain. Designated hitter. Discuss policy.
4. How did the naming of tropical storms, hurricans, typhoons, etc. originate? Hint: Aussies.
5. How many licks (on average) does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? No sucking allowed.
I'm turning this into a meme and passing it on to Panda, Willie, and Stacita. [This means writing your own exam questions, not answering mine.]

Thank the Lord - Tax I is over!
Armen, DS is with ya in learning those two courses. He's stressed. Very stressed. His brilliant 3L exam policy is not in effect. Yet.
As for your awesome exam -- DS is toying with inserting one of these questions on his final tomorrow if he doesn't like/understand one of the other questions -- he can only speak to baseball.
7th inning stretch originated in the mid-late 1800's, although when it became so widespread is uncertain. In the mid-1860's a Cinncinatti ballplayer in a letter home wrote that fans rise from their seats and stretch in the mid-seventh. Later that century, someone from Manhattan college, in an effort to allow some restless students to relax, called a time-out in the 7th inning to allow some stretching. That Taft started it when he was President is BS. (Bonus question: Who is the only president since Taft not to throw out at least one first pitch at a ball game during his term?)
Infield Fly: less than 2 outs, force at either 3rd or home. If there is a pop-up, "infield-fly, batter is out" is called. This prevents the defense from purposely or unpurposely dropping the ball and getting an easy double play, as the runners would be staying on their base thinking he would catch it. Quick rule of thumb -- It's designed to prevent a double play, so if, by dropping the ball, the defense could not get a double play, there is no infield-fly called. Also, it's entirely the umpire's judgment whether to call it. DS can't tell you how many times stupid umpires have called or failed to call infield fly in his playing days.
Designated Hitter: DS would take all day answering that. Corps is calling.
i'll give a shot at the "down" question. back in the late 19th century, in response to urbanization and the introduction of the "clerk" into popular conception, football was developed at colleges so that the future leaders of america wouldn't be a bunch of pansies. an vocal proponent of this was one Sylus "captain" Down, who made the rounds at the college town watering holes essentially picking fights. well one time in new haven, ol' cap that sonnofabitch was telling some tall tales about shooting out gen. bobby lee's horse thirteen times at the third battle of bull run, that's manassas to the rebs. no one believed him, i mean if you saw the guy, you wouldn't think that he walk and spit at the same time , much less take aim at a 4 star general, albeit a confederate. hell, i don't even think he was a real captain; his "uniform" as he called it, consisted of nothing more than insufficiently tanned donkey hyde and some bells he called medals. well anyway, to prove his point, he took a pint glass and broke over the head of the nearest vanderbilt, as was his custom. he wasn't the best debater by any stretch of the imagination. yeah, we didn't see much of the ol' cap after that one.
Instead of studying for an exam I'm taking tomorrow, I decided to also post my own exam (not that I actually would have been studying).
Boy exams are boooooring.
Girl exams are much more titillating:
1. How many orgasms have you had in one day? Who helped you in this endeavor, and why are you not married to him today?
2. Which law school professor would you "do" if you could?
3. Have you ever copulated in the law school? If so, where and at what time of day?
4. Are you usually this juvenile, or have law school exams brought it out in you??
5. Circumcised. Not. Discuss.

WTF, why is David Lat posting here?
HAHAHAHAHA...also, the Down thing is wrong. We say downs because back in the day the "down by contact" rule didn't exist. The guy could get up and run at all times (like rugby), so he had to yell "DOWN!!!" to indicate that he's not going to run anymore.
Now thinking about it, I should have asked about the origin of "soccer." Oh and the only true way to eat an oreo is not to eat it. They suck. Not in a girl way.
The girl exam is way better than Armen's. I'd rather answer 65 more multiple choice questions on the differece between the FRE and CEC than those boring baseball questions. Yawn.
2. HaLo. Enough said.
3. top floor of the stacks, lunchtime.
5. Not. Even disregarding increased HIV infection rates, it's just a much more attractive picture.
