ZenKimchi,
You are strong in the force. No one said typing skills were necessary to join the Dark Side. Fixing typo now.

I noticed it as well but my own blog is full of such casualisms (I think that sounds better than errors).
I notice that Darth Geek is doing a bit of Kids-In-The-Hall style head squeezing.

Kwandongbrian,
not head squeezing so much as constricting the throat of non-believers (i.e. where Vader is in the command room and gets questioned about his belief in antiquated religions)
I wouldn’t object to a little head squeezing with a few of my students - there are definitely times where the force could come in handy in the classroom.
for the record this picture was taken with my cell phone - thus the poor quality.

If only I had the force, I could throw out all my books on motivation and teaching methods. First day of class: Just scare the #!*#$! out of the students, and I guarantee everyone would study as though their lives depended on it… come to think of it, their lives would depend on it!!!
