Stuff I’d like to use in class.

“Houston, We Have a Problem,” by J. Matthew Zoss.
I’m sorry, but there’s not enough air in here for everyone. I’ll tell them you were a hero.
The NY Times terrorism euphemism generator – English teachers could have a lot of fun with this one as well.
Explaining the Internet to a street urchin flowchart – so many things to explain to so many different audiences.
