I've been promising to feed this blog with something more substantive for a while now. I've finally got something: a 42 page PDF - all nicely done up with bookmarks and a handy-dandy linked key - containing 65 passage-based MCQ questions about Plato's Euthyphro. They are reading comprehension/informal reasoning-type questions. I've written them over the years for exam purposes, but I also use them for teaching purposes. And students are encouraged to use them to self-diagnose their reading difficulties, and to give them some idea what they are supposed to be reading for.
I have similar sets for Meno and Republic - almost 200 questions in all. I'm going to format those other sets likewise over the next few weeks. I think the lot of them could be very useful for instructors (like me) who are obliged to make exams for very large classes. With a question bank of 200 questions, it's possible to whip up an exam pretty quick. Such questions are obviously not very philosophically exalted (although I flatter myself that a few have a certain conceptual sparkle, or at least a brute brain-tickle.) But they are time-consuming to produce, so I am happy for others to take advantage of my efforts.
Plato's Euthyphro Practice Questions (PDF). Go ahead and download the set.
Somehow my email list has been pirated by a canadian pharmacy.
They are using it to send viagra ads to everyone on the list.

Hi Laurie I understand your sittauion. I grew up in the Chicago area and well remember the glowing night sky. It was bad enough then, but now it must be worse. Have you checked out the Chicago Astronomical Society? I wonder if they have observing nights for the public where you can observe and enjoy the sky from a darker locale?

I'm spending Christmas on a fmilay holiday in Italy. We are currently waiting to attend midnight mass in Italian in the Basilica where Michelangelo and Dante were buried. It doesnt really feel like Christmas because I haven't been to the beach in months and the cold is confusing my Australian body calendar, if such a thing exists. I have also spent exponentially less time singing christmas carols badly and doing my usual Christmas baking. I'm also a bit disappointed because I've just realised that the rainbow flags I've been seeing throughout Italy are actually Peace signs not the pride flag. I'm not out to my fmilay and a time when I'm spending a lot of time in close confines with them with no option of escape makes the awkward boyfriend question even more awkward.On the plus side I just ate an amazing Christmas dinner, he church bells have been ringing continuously for 10 minutes and I'm going to be seeing some of my really great friends who live on the over side of the globe shortly. 0

I personally think that abolishing fees each month would be an this amazing idea, because WoW is a delight I've not had the pleasure when trying yet (although I've tried similar things like Dark Age of Camelot, and a Runescape membership), yet if this game is equally as addictive as I've heard it is going (it was all my friend used to go over in primary school, and apparently his aunty plays it until shortly 2 o' clock are!), then a pay whenever you play system are a lot more profitable to receive Blizzard, as many or all addicts would pay out at least twice nearly the monthly fees.
