Am I the only one who is not happy with this news?

Here we are, lamenting about how dumb RP is becoming, and now DepEd thinks it's good form to actually encourage the little buggers to study less?

Thanks guys - you have just sabotaged these kids' chances of ever getting a job outside working at a fucking call center!

Bleedin' idiots.

According to The Daily Telegraph, multimillionaire businessman Jimi Heselden was inspecting his North Yorkshire estate while mounted on one of his company's products, a rugged terrain version of the two-wheeled Segway scooter.

Heselden had apparently fallen into a nearby river while riding his Segway, and both he and his machine were found by a passer-by around 11:40am on Sunday, September 2.
