Ok guys, in English today I realised that we have so many genius people at QASMT that some of them are likely to be famous some day so Ithought I would start compiling a list of quotes from everyday life atQASMT for your viewing pleasure...so here goes... Royce (in chemistry discussing a reaction with methyl pentanoate): So you take the pethyl mentanoate... Mr McGrath (discussing English oral commentaries): Guys, I have alot of sympathy for you. You're dead meat!! Seriously, you're so, soscrewed! Ganeshy (defining the main principle of the Cognitive PsychologyPerspective): The mind sees something, the mind does something inthere, and then the mind does something else... Masterfully said, Mr President. Royce: I should've got full marks, but I didn't know the answers. Mr McGrath: I'm the only man I know who can bellydance with their arse. Thanks for the visual, Sir. Mr McGrath: Rizwan, what do you want to do at uni? Besides chasingwomen, Imean. Ross: Wouldn't that make it WHO do you want to do at uni? Mr McGrath: *groans* Ross, go back to your swamp. Ganeshy: Wow, that means that to get a 5...you have to get higher than a 4... Queensland's best and brightest, we are! Connor: I'm hungry. Mr McGrath: You only just had lunch...EAT RIZWAN!!!! Royce (picks up solid CaCl2 in chem): Is this corrosive? Me: You'd better hope not, seeing as you're touching it... Royce (discussing the war between King Duncan and Macdonwaldin Macbeth): It's like a franchise war between McDonald's and Duncan'sDoughnuts... Mr McGrath: That's such a...stupid thing to say. Mr McGrath (still discussing Macbeth): You'll see the witches are quite mean...they're like Rizwan on a good day! Except they're female...and have a beard...hmmm... Mr McGrath (quoting Macbeth): 'Weary seven-nights, nine times nine' Rizwan: So...88. Dannielle (In TOK): Is maths a hard science? Me: No, maths is just...maths? Mr McGrath (discussing a letter written by Macbeth): Who does he mean by 'they'? Rizwan: I don't know, he wrote the letter! Mr McGrath: Rizwan, what level of English are you doing?? Rizwan: Ab initio? Mr McGrath: ABsolutely! Eloise (to Royce): You spat on me? I accept that spit as a challenge! Julia (practising Spanish): Estoy emocionado! Me: You're an excited male? Mr McGrath (discussing Macbeth in English): Because the serpant symbolises...think of the Adam and Eve story... Connor: Moses? Mr McGrath: You just failed Religion 101. Mr McGrath (discussing language and scenery in Macbeth): The atmosphere of the castle has a certain... Royce: Sanctity. Mr McGrath: Whoa! Now there's a word you don't hear on the football field! 'I'm gonna kick you up your sanctity...' Mr McGrath (again discussing Macbeth): How much do they love each other? Steve: Enough Steve loves showcasing his intelligence... Me (working out a spanish question): 'Tienes algun/alguien que hacer esta tarde?' So it would be 'algun'... Ryan: No, I think it's 'alguien'. And yes, he knew what it meant... A question in maths: Show that the length of AB is given by L = 3/cos x Saccoia: How would you work it out? Royce: Well, if I had to guess, I'd say the answer was 3/cos x. Mr McGrath (guess what he's discussing): What do they decide to do to cover their tracks? Steve: Things. Gol: I don't know how to describe that face. Giggy: Let's describe it using VECTORS!!! This has got to be my favourite quote of all time - its just so...nerdy! :P Royce: Myspace is awesome...and Myspace is a metaphor for me!! Royce (translating Macbeth): 'So I lose none | In seeking to augmentit, but still keep | My bosom franchised and allegiance clear, | Ishall be counselled'....so that's basically Banquo saying 'Stick it upyour arse'. Take that, Macbeth. Julia: This biscuit tastes like crap...do you want it? Ganeshy: Candidates from each representative state were chosen to represent their states. Dr Guppy (in biology): Well, I think we've finished HL Human Reproduction now... Rizwan: I wanna do a prac. Royce (discussing students at QA): We're the cream of the crop here!

Saccoia: No, that's MY problem! Royce: To be a bad guy, you have to actually be a guy. Ganeshy: WHAT did you just say? To be a guy you have to be a guy?? *aside to me* Put that in the quote book. Royce: Well, I learnt from the best. Ganeshy: Shut up or I'll throw this book of HL Maths Options at you! Lou: I can fool myself into thinking I can do maths while watching TV... Rory: I fool myself into thinking I can write an email during the ad breaks. It never happens... Eloise: I'd tap the hoe. Ganeshy: What is 'tap the hoe'? *Eloise explains* Eloise: So, Ganesh, would you tap the hoe? Ganeshy: Yes, I would tap the hoe. Toyin (to me and Kevin): What are you guys talking about? I want to laugh too. Kevin: We're talking about Toyin. Toyin: No, you're talking about Kevin. Kevin: Nah. We're talking about Rizwan. Toyin: Now THAT'S funny.

Rory: I feel sad andtouched at the same time, because poverty is a very bad issue – goodissue – well, it's a very great issue; there's so many people below thepoverty line and I think it's very important that people who are notimpoverished make an effort to ameliorate the situation.
