| Two weeks ago, I received a 9 page, 281+ term study guide for my Asian history class. I studied all the terms judiciously. I'm 100 percent sure the Japanese use of "night soil" was not on the study guide.
I took my ten question final that was worth fifty points (not kidding). There are 250 points in the entire class. Attendance is worth more than the final.
Everything was going well until this question: "Describe the Edo usage of 'night soil.' In particular, describe the different categories and qualifications the Japanese used to determine the quality of 'night soil.'"
Just so everyone is fully aware of what night soil is, night soil is human excrement. Of course, that is the one lecture I missed all semester. I'm not exactly sure how important the Edo usage of night soil is to my understanding of Pacific world history.
Also, why can't my roommate have a party somewhere else on a different night?
I will leave you with this short video featuring me, and the world's most pussywhipped boyfriend, Michael A. Harms. Notice how he is the more prominent elf in the video.
