Randomnessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(of doom)

Mr.Hippopants (who never actually wore pants) was walking down the street eating a hamburger made entirely of cheese. As he was walking over a manhole cover, it rumbled and he fell down, dropping his hamburger into the hole. Hippopants cried "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!", and fell to the ground in hatred of manholes.

As he came home, he sat down in his chair and started to talk to his teddybear (who happened to be next to the chair), "I hate this world teddy, I hate it. Why does the world have to be mean to me? What did I do wrong? You know what I hate the most in this world, teddy? I HATE MANHOLES. I hate them the most in this cruel, cruel world. You know what? I feel like building a machine to destroy every single manhole in the whole world!!! YES! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WILL DO!!!". From that moment on, Mr.Hippopants was the most evil, manhole-hating person in the world.

The next day, Hippopants went to work. He did not eat, sleep, or bathe in 16 years. Finally, in the Spring of the 16th year, Mr.Hippopants completed his project. "Finally," he said "I have completed the manhole-destroying machine!". The next day, Hippopants started to destroy the manholes of the world, starting with his town. Loud sounds could be heard as he used his machine to attack manholes and grind them to fine dust.

Eventually, he got to the manhole that he lost his hamburger in. "You are a bad manhole..." he said and destroyed it instantly. Just as he was about to go, he saw something yellow in the muck. "My burger!!! YES!!! I found it" he shouted and took a bite. That was a horrible mistake, for he died instantly from food poisoning.

On his tombstone, it states :

HERE LIES GRIPPY GRIP HIPPOPANTS, WHO DIED BY EATING A BURGER MADE OF CHEESE.

I believe the parents of the children were right to be upset, but not at such extent. Although the math problems were dealing with slaves (which generally refers to African Americans), the school did not mean any harm. In fact the school was trying to help the students learn by putting history- related questions in a math assignment. Just because a sentence mentions a certain race, it does not mean it is bad or inferior. In fact, the questions did not even mention races, but mentioned something that referred to a race instead. By jumping to conclusions and thinking about the wrong things, the parents of the children, who were going to obtain some knowledge from the assignment, made a big fuss about it, as anybody should if their race was being insulted. The questions, however, were only meant to help learn, not diminish a race’s pride and did not mention any races anyway.
