I'm a Homework Assignment! I'm a Homework Assignment!

Wow, this is so cool...

My Borg Poem just showed up on Yahoo! Philippines Answers Homework Help:

Resolved Question > Multiple choice.?

This is the second time this poem has hit the school curriculum radar internationally.

They call me a POET!

Damn. I always said my goal in life was to be a footnote... but now I'm somebody's HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT! LOL!

I'm feeling very accomplished here. (How do I channel this interest in my writing into $$$?)

Also interesting... They dropped the "s" from my last name: Jacob. I kind of like it. I've always felt the "s" -- which was added during the anti-German hysteria in the United States during World War I -- is kind of extraneous. (Also confuses the hell out of people who try to make it possessive or plural. Posessive: Jacobs' Plural: Jacobs Posessive plural: Jacobs' )

Actually, the name was originally "Jakob" (that's what's on my grandmother's tombstone) at the time of the family's immigration to "Hace, Amerika."

Hmmm. Kevyn Jakob.

Kevyn 'Hagrid' Jakob.

Hagrid Jakob. Not bad.

Nom-de-plume?

I like Hagrid Jakob. Use it.

I found out that one of my films had been used in an English class in China. Apparently it was one of the more difficult to understand exercises they had had. Considering that the script was written originally to confuse anglophones I'm not surprised.

> I like Hagrid Jakob. Use it.

Wait wait wait, the J is a German Y, so it'd be pronounced YAHK-ob.

Does that roll off the tongue?

Oh wow... how cool is that?

So this is what means to be a meme weaver... a Kulturschöpfer.

I had a vision of myself the other day as a weaver in the Zeitgeist.

Sounds like you've had a similar experience.
