All knowledge of him would be purged from the universe, thus the question *\"Doctor Who?\"*. A universe in which the Doctor never existed might be so bad that the motivation of the Silence would be to actually *save* the Doctor's history by killing him before he had a chance to have his entire history erased.

Destroy the universe this season. Destroyed the universe last season? Make it so the universe never happened this season. Made it so the universe never happened this season?

[ { "body": "So, I started taking Old Irish last year; I've been studying the modern language for 3 years.\n\nSo, first of all, you're looking at potentially a 1500 year difference between Old and Modern Irish. So it's fair to say that a lot has changed.\n\nPronunciation and orthography : The vowels are going to be more or less the same. Consonants are more or less similar, although dh and th are pronounced very differently in modern Irish. One of the big differences is that modern Irish doesn't do that weird thing where consonants change their value if they're in the middle or end of words - modern Irish will always mark these sound changes. So, for example, a word like acallam (agalav) would be spelled agallamh today.\n\nGrammar : Old Irish grammar is going to be much, much more complex than modern Irish. Nouns have three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), three numbers (single, plural, dual), and about five distinct cases - the modern language simplifies this greatly. The biggest change is the verb system - it gets a radical overhaul sometime in the 12th century (I could be wrong).\n\nVocabulary : normalized spelling excluded, a lot of the basic vocabulary of modern Irish hasn't changed since the middle ages. There are some loan-words that enter the language, and semantic drift does happen, but if you've studied one language, you'll have a really, really good passive vocabulary where the other's concerned.\n\nSo, they are two different languages, but transitioning from one to the other isn't as hard as you might think - and if you've done Old Irish, modern Irish will be comparatively much easier, at least in terms of grammar.", "score": 7 } ]

I'm fairly sure JK kept the number of named characters down so people could remember who is who. Book written for children, remember.", "score": 9 }, { "body": "As mentioned above, class size is typically thirty students, according to information in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This gives a total student population of about 840, 210 (thirty per year, times seven years) or so in each House. Readers may be confused by the fact that at most five boys and five girls of each house in each year are named. At least one fan site has published information apparently received from the author that she had only developed characters for ten students in each year, and had decided that was enough, but that the number of students was intended to be about thirty per house per year. She has also variously given the student population as 600 or 1,000.\n\nIt is not the place of this book to try and resolve this apparent contradiction. We do note that all descriptions that implynumbers of students, rather than naming individual students, do seem to fit a population of about 800 students better than they fit a population of 280, the number which fits the apparent ten students per year per house. We will suggest that we hear more from, and see more of, the students in Harry's dormitory simply because Harry, sharing a dormitory with them, is much more familiar with them. While this has not been previously suggested, it is possible that there are two otherdormitories forstudents in Harry's year, each having five other unnamed students, in both the girls' side and the boys' side of Gryffindor tower.\n\nAs a small point of interest, this allows us to calculate the Wizarding population of the United Kingdom, assuming that Hogwarts draws its students from the UK. If the class size is 30, as stated above, Hogwarts, which is believed to be the only Wizarding school in the UK, has space for 120 students per year. Assuming a slightly longer-than-Muggle life span of 85 years for wizards, simple multiplication gives us a population approximation of 10,200 wizards in all of the UK, or roughly 1 wizard for every 6000 Muggles (UK population 58,000,000 in 1997). Extending this admittedly tenuous reasoning, we can extrapolate a worldpopulationof1 million wizards (based on a 2000 world population of 6 billion individuals). Note that this does conflict with the author's statement, given in an interview, that there are about 3,000 wizards in the UK; but the author has further said that her mathematics is a definite weak point. If we accept the author's estimate of 3,000 wizards in the UK, the Hogwarts class size (per house) drops to 10, and the total world Wizarding population drops to 300,000, or one for about every 20,000 Muggles.\n\nOther fan sites have noted that there are not enough teachers forthe stated school population. Working from the description of the Potions courses, we see that this is generally a double course, two periods and two Houses each class. In the NEWT-level classes, all four Houses are taught together. Thus, the Potions instructor must be teaching two sections in each of five years, plus one section in each of two NEWT-level years, for a total of twelve sections. As these are double classes, we can assume that most other teachers will be teaching twice as many sections, typically about twenty-four. Even those courses that are not core subjects,suchas Care of Magical Creatures and Divination, and are not offered forthe students' first two years, will involve, typically, sixteen sections. Yet, as we learn at the end of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the mostcourses that can be taken without the aid of a Time-Turner is ten; ifitis impossible fora student to take more than ten courses, then equally it is impossible for a teacher to teach more than ten sections. Thus, there must be a large number of teachers who we never meet. To add to this we have the apparent impossibility of Dolores Umbridge not only teaching her own classes, but also being present to inspect all of Hagrid's and all of Sybill Trelawney's classes, thus effectively tripling her workload.

[ { "body": "The Poles knew.\n\nThe \"real\" Holocaust happened in occupied Poland, which housed all the extermination camps. It's important to distinguish between concentration camps and extermination camps. The best known camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, was actually both: a labour camp and an extermination camp. Other camps were either one or the other. That doesn't mean that nobody was deliberately killed in a labour camp, they were and often they had crematoria to burn the dead. But the extermination camps' only purpose was to kill the people brought there (mainly Jews). They had a small labour force to keep the camp going, but there was no other \"labour\" going on (again, Birkenau is the exception).\n\nExtermination camps were: Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Majdanek, Chelmno and Birkenau (part of Auschwitz). [Here's a map.](http://i.imgur.com/TzDUT.png)\n\nAlmost nobody survived those camps and consequently they are not as well known as the traditional concentration camps such as Dachau, Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen.\n\nThe Poles who lived around those camps knew exactly what was going on: trains arriving filled with Jews to relatively small camps that never got any bigger, those people just disappeared. This is very clear from the testimonies of elderly Poles in Claude Lanzmann's masterly *Shoah* documentary. Most of these camps were dismantled and razed to the ground during the war by the Nazi command, to eliminate any traces of the mass killings. \n\n> After the [Belzec] camp buildings were dismantled and the German and Ukrainian staff had left, people from the neighboring villages and townships started digging in the area of the camp, searching for gold and valuables. A Pole, Edward Luczynski, who lived in Belzec, testified:\n\"After leveling and clearing the area of the extermination camp, the Germans planted the area with small pines and left. At that moment, the whole area was plucked to pieces by the neighboring population, who were searching for gold and valuables. That's why the whole surface of the camp was covered with human bones, hair, ashes from cremated corpses, dentures, pots and other objects.\"\n\n[Source](http://books.google.be/books?id=QpAgHYTPRz0C&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&dq=Yitzhak+Arad,+Belzec,+Sobibor,+Treblinka:+The+Operation+Reinhard+Death+Camp&source=bl&ots=EFdYwJR0t2&sig=2itUf4PSnBrV-L67Je7mBz6lEXg&hl=nl&sa=X&ei=V4xcUPHrGobOtAaOn4GIDg&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=gold&f=false)\nThis was in 1943.\n\nThe allied command knew as well, thanks to the testimony of some escapees from Auschwitz who managed to reach the West.

She's a *girl*!!!\" (Cooties, I know.) Anyway he ended up grudgingly letting me write on his notebook just so we could get the activity over and done with. When class was dismissed he literally bolted for the door.\n\n**From grade school to high school, we never actually talked.** Ever. We never even felt any romantic interests for each other. **He had this class-clown reputation, and I was kind of the quiet-girl-with-glasses.** We treated each other as the mutual friend of our mutual friend, if that makes sense. Later on I had my first boyfriend, and I was in my own little world.\n\nThen came college. Long story short, my boyfriend of two years dumped me for some girl he met abroad in his new university. I became sad as fuck and did something stupid, which was to go for his best friend. Four months later, things started getting shitty since I was insecure, and he started becoming an asshole. I transferred to a different university due to career stuff reasons and around that same time, we broke it off. I started to be really depressed, because he verbally abused me a lot, but felt like it was my fault since, well, he told me it was my fault. (Yep, asshole.)\n\nIn the new uni I was in, me and my best friend (her boyfriend also broke up with her at that time, how convenient) found a new group of friends. This group included my old 4th-grade-classmate. Let's call him Calvin. As I started to ease myself in with this new bunch of people who accepted me and knew what was happening, I slowly regained my footing, and was learning to get back up again, although I was still very guarded and insecure.\n\nAfter around three months or so, I noticed Calvin giving off a certain vibe. His friends were very obvious, too. I didn't want to assume anything though. **And honestly, he wasn't my \"type\", although he didn't look so bad either -- he was tall, wore glasses, kinda chunky, played guitar, loved Star Wars and video games. (And yes, he's also a Redditor.)** Before I knew it, he did the absolute corniest thing ever: We were next to each other in this computer lab, and he says, \"I have to tell you something later.\" I shrug and say okay. Right then and there, I get a text from him that says, \"I like you.\"\n\nOh god.\n\nI immediately tucked my phone back in my pocket, turned around and headed for the door.\n\nOf course, he followed me. And he actually catches up with me and asks, \"Wait, did you get my text?\"\n\nOH MY GOD.\n\nI walked quickly while he hurried beside me and I just said, \"Yeah, uh, you do realize that right now is not the best time for me to, you know, uh, be seeing anyone?\"\n\n\"I know. I just wanted to tell you.\"\n\n\"Oh. Okay.\"\n\nI walked faster and just went the other way. I'm sorry, I just couldn't take it at the time.\n\nThings were very awkward for the next couple of weeks. I avoided him. **Later on he texted me again, saying how the reason why he told me he liked me wasn't because he wanted me to be his girlfriend just like that, but just to let me know he was looking out for me and that he cared.** And guarded as I was that time, I just *couldn't* accept any of the attention he was giving me. In fact, I bet he sent me a very sweet text message, but I cannot, for the life of me, remember any of it, except for that line.\n\nI continued with my life, growing more and more insecure everyday, and I didn't tell anybody how depressed I really was. (I am very passive-aggressive, it sucks.)\n\nFive months later, I did the most terrible thing. Calvin's best friend, (let's call him Gary) started hitting on me, behind Calvin's back. I flirted back... **And ended up being Calvin's best friend's girlfriend after a week.**\n\nOf course, he was hurt. And I was a very terrible person.\n\nI realized my stupidity within a month though. It took a drunken night in a party for me to break things off with Gary. **I realized that Gary's frat-boy-douchebag-personality was only making me worse as a person, and I was tired of getting worse.** I didn't like the girl I became, and I wanted no part in turning more and more into some slut. That night, after all the drinks I had, I vaguely remember lying down out in the street, on the concrete, but being carried back inside onto a sofa. I thought it was Gary who did that. Three days later one of my friends told me that it was Calvin who carried me in his arms and set me down on the sofa.\n\nHalf a year passes by.\n\nI focused on school and got better. I went to the library a lot, and Calvin would usually be there too with me. We got closer as friends, and he started talking about other girls, and I figured it was normal, and I was most likely only a friend to him after everything that has happened. Besides, I didn't want another relationship after my past failed ones. Calvin introduced me to Sherlock (BBC series), and he would have the copy of it on his laptop, so I would end up watching it with him. He also got me into Dashboard Confessional, and he would interpret his favorite songs and tell me which one he loves most. **Next thing I knew, we were best friends.**\n\nAfter two months he tells me about this girl he likes, and I had a pang of jealousy. *That's weird,* I thought, *He's only my friend.* So I shrugged it off.\n\nOne night, when me and Calvin and all our friends went out for a movie, we sat next to each other, and my girlfriends gave me raised eyebrows wondering why I wasn't beside *them* instead. Later that night, it was Calvin who drove me home.\n\nWe ended up talking about what was really going on. And after that night, we agreed, we really weren't *just friends*. We agreed to try things out and really *be* together, then.\n\nBut it was awkward for me.\n\nAfter only a week, we had another talk, and decided to just stay friends. I wasn't ready yet. I still felt as if I had some issues to take care of, and he understood. It was sad, but we actually did manage to stay friends.\n\nFor a month and a half, at least.\n\nIt took around six weeks, really. Just six more weeks of us establishing that **we were friends without benefits**. Six weeks of us beating around the bush, *trying* to friend-zone each other but failing, going out on \"friendly\" dates, and talking about absolutely everything under the sun.\n\nOne day, we both crossed the line. We were having a horror movie marathon with our friends in someone's basement, and while everything was dark, we'd always be beside each other, and his arm would always be around me. It turned into hugging, which turned into cuddling. **Much later on I was in Calvin's bedroom and we were cuddling the fuck out while just talking.**\n\nAnd then we realized, \"Wait, what happened to friends without benefits?\"\n\n\"...I don't know. Are we still? Friends? Only?\"\n\n\"...I don't think so.\"\n\n\"...Me too.\"\n\nWe paused. And then he said, \"I feel like I'm gonna slip like what Ted did in the first episode of How I Met Your Mother.\"\n\n\"I've never seen the first episode of How I Met Your Mother. What do you mean?\"\n\n\"You haven't? Okay good. Never mind.\"\n\n...The next night, he ended up sleeping over at my apartment. And no, we actually did *not* have sex. We were just cuddling the fuck out while talking about every single thing we wanted to talk about that we couldn't tell anybody else. We shared secrets and stories while sharing a bed, and woke up next to each other. And everything just felt so surreal.\n\nAnd it was only in the next morning that we kissed.\n\nIt's funny, really, how a boy I met when I was 8 years old would end up being the love of my life twelve years later. He's my best friend and soul mate. We grew a lot while getting to know each other. He's seen me at my worst and he never stopped caring. Oh, and I realized it was true love when I can fart around him and he still calls me beautiful.\n\nCalvin, you're a big piece of awkward, and I have no idea what I'd do without you. Although, damn you for introducing me to Reddit. It's taking up so much of my time.\n\n\n**TL;DR\nMet him in 4th grade,\nOnly got close in college,\nHe still pined for me even after I was a train wreck and became his best friend's girlfriend,\nBecame best friends with *him* instead much later on after things got screwed,\nEnded up falling for him back.**\n", "score": 3 } ]

", "score": 3 }, { "body": "I had one professor that gave everyone in the class a bad grade, regardless of what they wrote about, unless it was about objectifying women or being a lesbian. I wrote some pretty good papers that I was proud to turn in to find out that I had almost failed the assignment for whatever stupid reason she had. Everyone else in the class was the same way.\n\nI had another professor for a course called The History of the English Language, which I was excited to take. This professor crammed so much information down our throats and gave us a test every week. One week, she had to go to a funeral, so she had a sub come in and proctor the exam. She set a time limit of about 45 minutes for these tests (they were all too hard to take in that amount of time), and he was very strict with following that time limit. So the majority of the class didn't even finish the damn exam. When she came back, we had to get out two pieces of notebook paper and write two pages on why we either didn't finish the exam or why we couldn't get a grasp on the material to finish the exam. Basically, we had to write a paper on how stupid we were. I left the class crying that day because I was so livid with this horrid professor. I dropped the class. That was the last one I needed for my writing minor, and I said fuck it, I'm not taking that anymore.", "score": 3 } ]
