The Apes and The Monolith

An idiom used to describe the reverence given to someone or something that is venerated. The term originated from a scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this scene, apes, the early ancestors of mankind, find and venerate a mysterious monolith that has appeared near their home.

AP Chemistry

A college credit class taken by high school students during the latter years (junior or senior, usually). The class reviews a set number of pre-defined topics by the College Board. The test is formulated by a very devious and malevolent group of individuals who masquerade under the common name Educational Testing Service, or ETS. The sole purpose of this group is to devise a monstrous 3-hour examination composed of two sections, each worth 50% of the test-taker's grade.

Section I - 90 minutes
75 Multiple Choice Questions

Section II - 95 minutes
Part A - 55 minutes
- 3 problems
Part B - 40 minutes
- 2 essay questions
- 1 chemical reactions question

Each free response question will normally be composed of 5-7 subquestions in the form of 1)a, 1)b, 1)c, 1)d, 1)e... Each subquestion will be worded in a cruelly confusing manner and require the test taker to scramble frantically through his/her sheet of common chemical equations before, upon realizing that the equation is either not listed or discovering that he/she doesn't know how to use the equation, bursting into inconsolable tears. Studies show that that this is a common reaction. Stay calm, smile at the proctor, pick up your pencil, and write THIS IS SPARTA across the available space.

AP World

While most people think this class is designed to teach advanced history to ambitious high school sophomores, it was actually designed as an intricate form of assisted suicide.

Students enrolled in AP world (or any AP class) will learn lots and lots of stuff that you already knew from the previous 10 years of schooling, but you will learn it in a different format. Meaning notes. Lots of notes.

Also you will want to die every night at 1am when you're only halfway through the 40-page chapter and you can't stop because you already have a disgusting C- average and you are an AP student for a reason and you want A's.

Also you will stop doing all your other classes' homework because you can only see your AP world grade, so now you have C's in everything! Yay!

By the time it's over, you will be burnt out. But never fear - next year is AP US history.......
