@DogsB what’s wrong with the name Kevin?
it's a history that was posted on reddit and turned on lore
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/219w2o/comment/cgbhkwp/
Nice read. Also this follow-up lower in the page regarding Kevin not knowing dogs and cats are different animals:
Haha, that was actually one of my favorites too because of how I found it out. We were doing an assignment on personification and I had people describe their pets using it. (Welcome to America, where we teach personification in high school, I know). Kevin didn't have any pets but he said his neighbor had a cat he played with sometimes. He listed off like 3 or 4 things and it became really apparent that he was describing a dog. At first I thought that maybe he just had trouble figuring out the right way to say it, but after 2 or 3 more sentences, it was abundantly clear that this was a really big dog. Someone else who lived on the same street put 2 and 2 together as well and said "Kevin, that's not a cat. That's so-and-so's black lab." Kevin was absolutely floored that A. someone else lived on his street and B. that there was a difference between a black lab and a house cat. Like, I am only guessing, but I think to him...dog and cat were as interchangeable terms as Hat and Cap.
You train and prepare as a teacher to try and find ways to redirect embarrassing situations like a student being REALLY wrong in public, but I was at a loss for how to move on from there.

Very much so, considering it's a holiday.

Making today be a holiday would be for the Good Ideas Thread.

It's a day that ends in 'y'. So, yes.

This seems to be the thread in which we've most often discussed sovereign citizens. This one's a Kiwi. (Note: The similarly named fruit is almost certainly smarter than this alleged human.) She has some very bad ideas:

Edit: partially, anyway. I'm not reading all that.
