BWAP beat me by one minute. But I'm glad he posted the lyrics. While I'm learning my Canadian colloquialisms, what's a two-four?

It's a special offer - two-four the price of one.

I learned throughout my college life that no matter how hard you try there's a korean out there that's better than you.
Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied

I learned today that no matter how far we move intot he 21st century, people persist in making stupid stereotypical statements about ethnic groups.

Speaking of Koreans, I learned today (well, this week) that Koreans treat their scientists like rock stars. This cloning Korean scientist whose work has been questioned has been answering his critics in press conferences that have gotten OJ-like national coverage in South Korea. The Korean national psyche has been severely damaged, it is reported. It turns out that they take the same pride in their scientists that we take in our basketball players. This may account, I say may, for the presumption that they are great achievers in certain academic areas, and may have something to do with the academic oppression that ExtremeHo has endured at their hands up in the Great White North, eh.

Maybe. Or he might be a thoughtless bigot. Tough call.
