Mario taught me that shrooms were baaad

I bet you don't realize just how much we learn from cartoons and video games...

Such as...[for me]

You can eat Hibiscus and it's like a fruit...[Zelda: The Awakening for Gameboy]
We have a place named Acadia, but not Arcadia...[Skies of Arcadia for Gamecube]
"Bourgeois morality" and 101 other things from Splatter Phoenix...[Darkwing Duck]

I could go on!

You know, also all that stuff like, all you need is Roc's feather and you can jump canyon's and all you need to do to get cardiovascular assistance is a good sword and a field of bushes. Or the 3rd dimension is a theoretical realm in space and time where....[hehehe]

wouldn't it be neat if video games taught us useful stuff... like that book... uhm... I forgot what it was called. It was in the future and there weren't many jobs available because robots did a lot of the work and so people like graduated from school and like 98% of them were unemployed. So they go to live in these goverment housing things. And there is this thing called "the game" and you get invited to it. And when you are invited you go to this place with some other people and play this virtual reality game where you are in some deserted forest kinda place or a desert or something (a deserted desert). Then if you go back again you aren't playing a game you are really there. uhm..... Yea so like the first time around it taught them survival skills or something....
