Well, the way the American girl describes the problem is similar to a dyscalculic's description. Not saying she is, just found it funny that one Big Brother housemate after the other was talking about math difficulties.

Reverend blamo, I don't think it's the American school system, I think it's how people just are. We all say stupid things. We can't know everything about everything. That's not human. You're bound to say something stupid at some point, which sucks when you're being filmed 24/7, haha.

Like this girl Karly from UK Big Brother. A while ago, she told another housemate that the English language was so close to German, because the Germans came to England during World War 2. She was completely serious. Oh well, makes good TV Wink

I 'll have you know your talking to an expert at saying stupid things.

Sorry, I must have confused it with the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor during the Civil War.
