I have make paper airplanes with bent wing tips to make them do spirals and shit since I was around the age of eight... >.> Am I a genius now?

It would be epic to see the dude in yellow get nailed in the face by the plane at the beginning.

Well maybe you should go back to KINDERGARTEN (yes this a T and not a D, that word is German) to improve on your spelling. Oh, and I give you a hint, when you see a red dotted line under a word you just typed, that means you MISTYPED it.

Too bad you did not patent your paper airplane, you would be rich by now, GENIUS!

Next time, keep your cheap and easy comments for yourself. Those who don't do anything are always the ones who try to put the others down.

Mainly due to your atrocious spelling and apparent complete lack of understanding regarding the basic fundamentals of the English language I am going to give you 2/10 and request that you see me after class
