I figure, all in all, I have spent over $500 needlessly over the years on pointless textbooks! Just last year I had to purchase a Nutrition Book for a class that cost over $120! We were assured that we would need the book to do well in the class, and that test material would come from it... yet, I bought the book, never opened it, and got an "A" in the course... This has happened in a half dozen of my classes, and many of Ashley's as well... the problem is that when you go to sell back such books, the response is usually, "Oh, we are not buying back THAT book, because a new addition is coming out next year..." Or, "The professor didn't like using it, so we won't be buying it back for them..." Thanks a Heap! 
On a more serious note, I came across this thought recently, thought it worth sharing...
When you eat at the seafood restaurant at seaworld, is it really a "Slow Learner" on your plate?
