I was taking notes in chemistry today and I started thinking about. . .
What if our society collapsed? Kind of along the lines of the Roman Empire, and then with the Dark Age-type period with much ignorance & superstition following it. So what if in the future people were trying to rebuild it and they found a high school student's backpack with notes on science and history and math and crizzap and that's all the information they had of today's modern knowledge and stuff?
And then I was going to use that for NaNoWriMo, but it was too complicated and I'm too lazy to create a future society.

Posted by: Smith on 01.11.02 17:02Our society today parallels the failing Roman Empire. That's an interesting idea.

And we read this awesome short story among those lines in freshman english, but I don't remember what it was called.
