I'm taking an American Studies class right now, with the focus on Food. There's this guy in the front row who always raises his hand to answer stuff, but he says the stupidest stuff. Today, the professor showed a slide of a painting that had a slab of raw steak, carrots, and cabbage. She asked the class what was unique about this painting. The answer she was looking for is that all the ingredients are raw, even though we're accustomed to seeing paintings of food in their finished form. Instead, the guy raised his hand and pointed out that the piece of steak had fat on it. Uhhhh.
Later in the lecture, my teacher went on to Warhol paintings. She asked the class what the definition of "irony" is. The guy raised his hand and said "when you want someone else's things." Wow. That's called "envy".
