Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 28, 2012

He’s just too imiganitive for the averagre joes in his school. I’ll bet his parents will transfer him to a private school in ther near future.

What Calvin says, that’s the case with a lot of kids. That would have been the case with me, but I had a set of encyclopedias and no one told me you weren’t supposed to read them for fun. Now, I’m grateful for those.

We used to have a very ancient set of the Books of Knowledge.We loved bouncing around through those.

just 6 years old Calvin….

Fortunately, they don’t come floating into my consciousness very often.

Lewis and Clark?

I knew what riparian rights were before you did …

Story of my life.

No, I thought they had a TV and Appliance shop out on the turnpike.

No. they’re guys who opened up a Do It Yourself Giraffe Wash in Nome, Alaska.

@thatnicecollegeguy, marmar in MI, margueritem, Tog, and others (et al)I’m with you guys! “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”, so don’t stop with a little knowledge! Go for it! Read the encyclopedia cover to cover, even (Snagglepuss)

I feel like all my teachers were like miss wormwood

Don’t know what happened to Lewis, but Clark started his own candy bar.

No, that was Smith and Dale. (You have to be old to know who that refers to.)

@Remington Mandel,Of (water)course you did! You can ‘bank’ on it! Did you get riparian rights from the dictionary, the encyclopedia, or personal experience? Btw, we are cognizant of Calvin’s extensive vocabulary and almost have to memorize the dictionary to keep up with him in that area. Maybe Calvin can impress Miss Wormwood after school with a few choice words.

I have the same problem.

@Lovecraft,You should be a prime candidate for Jeopardy!

Calvin’s a veritable fountain of thoroughly useless information.

it’s me, it’s me!

That so-called “useless” information sometimes does come in handy. It sounds impressive, but I wish I could get paid for it.

you mean like Superchicken?

No No—that was Trade and Mark!

Oh yes, it’s not easy for Calvin!!

Calvin has obviously be raised in the Church of Captain Napalm’s Thermonuclear League of Liberty.Think about it.

“Useless” information sure comes in handy on Final Jeopardy where all the other nerds up there with you who can recite the Declaration of Independence backwards and divide by zero don’t know what Nightwing’s real name is.

You and me both, Calvin. Arcane bits of info? I’m a goldmine. Practical day-to-day life—not so much.I should have been a librarian.

Calvin, I can think of a lot of tv gameshows you could get rich off of your “useless information.”

It’s a recondite skill, Calvin.

Who are Louis and Clark? I am not from the US-

Suprisingly, Calvin is right.

Me too Calvin!!!

“a command of thouroughly useless information” is a fairly accurate description of me, too.

It’s only useless information if DORA butchers it!

I can recall lyrics to hundreds (possibly thousands) of songs, but I would hardly call them useless. Try singing Patti Page’s “Old Cape Cod” or The Cure “Friday I’m In Love” without them affecting your mood. It’s like free drugs, and I for one find that extremely useful.

Lewis and Clark?

.

What about what Lois (Lane) and Clark (Kent) did??

Nah, just a couple of guys with nothing to do, decided to walk across country to see what was there. ;0)

Calvin would love the internet – the world’s largest library of useless and false information!

YGUY! :-D

Louis and Clark a sad story for Clark,my hero.All he really got out of that hike was a bird named after him.

hehehe..I love you Calvin. You remind me of myself back in the dayz

He’s only six, Ms. Wormwood! Really?

Calvin – a holy terror at trivia….

I happen to live about five miles east of Sacagewea State Park here in Washington. It is the place that Lewis & Clarkdiscovered where the Columbia And Snake rivers come together to form their highway to the sea. I could not believe all of the comments from people who didn’t know who they were! There are even two main streets in Pasco, Washingtonthat have the names of Lewis and Clark respectively. Really !

Lewis and Clark didn’t find the Oregon Trail as believed. An Indian woman of Mandan heritage named Sacagawea led them to it.

It might be a toss-up as to which set of knowledge is the most useless (and for whom). I heard recently that the Encyclopedia is no longer going to be published.

Herr Kapitan would approve.. http://images.wikia.com/candh/images/9/9e/Cnapalm.gif

I have panel four posted on my office door. It goes with the title of “Victorian Naturalist.”

he is sooo cute…..well in a cartoon/comic way tho

Calvin, you may be a genius. School is too tame for you, that’s all.

If Wormy didn’t respect his intelligence and creativity, why does she want to spend more time with him after school?

“I’m not dumb, I just have a command of thoroughly useless information”Hahaha Brilliant Calvin!
