    The money you spent on tuition was to prevent sentences like that first one. Where's the independent clause? #opentechnologycourses

    @spannu: For some reason, the operators do not show up. I'm guessing because of the HTML embedding capability of the comments.

    And I was just making a joke, I realize they are free courses and that's pretty sweet. #opentechnologycourses

    It’s kind of like a cross between Puppet Master, Electric Chair, and Stage Mom. None of which are any good… for children.
