Nope, Chrome's download bar. Looks like he's downloaded several files that will open by default in Irfanview. Actually, now that I think about it, Irfanview doesn't have a native Lixux version, so most likely Windows.

LOOK! He's running Windows in the background lol!

Reddit? The worst site on the Internet?

I believe they call them "televisions".

Anyone up for some Gabe lookin' good pics?

Half-Gabe 3: Life Confirmed.

Half Life 3 or you're not Gabe.

Hahahaha, they are doing this because of the ancient Chinese proverb where this scholar hang up his hair and pierced his thighs to stay awake studying. It's all a joke.

Clearly you are some sort of warlock.

I find the best way to study for exams are to pay attention during the half year leading up to them.

Probably a good thing that these students decided to mimic the first guy.

I thought the point of University was to prepare you with the knowledge you need to work well in your desired field. Soooo... how does cramming a shit ton of exam answers into your head, then probably forgetting most of it right after help with that?

They didn't 'invented' this absurd idea out of nowhere, there are idioms that derived from two ancient Chinese tales (200BC & 980AC), these tales describe how two hardworking men who always study late but couldn't resist falling asleep, so one man tied his hair to a beam and the other stabbed his thigh with an awl…

Saves on shoe polish.

What's the problem with this guy? Will sniffing a stinky shoe keep him awake?

Umm here's how I do it. I summarize everything I need to study and type it into a word document. Print it. And go outside to study. I'll take long circling walks in a quiet neighborhood. Spanning 5-8 hours at a time, before I am done revising for an exam.

David Carradine would approve.
