| Why do so many people in Korea wear eye patches? Do they love pirates as much as me? I've seen a lot of students wearing temporary eye patches? Why? |

| AKA Conjuctivitis. The boys at my school thought it would be a wonderful idea late last year to intentionall get it so the "would not have to do homework." It didn't work. Their homeroom teachers called the parents to ensure all the students were aware of the homework to be done. |

Same with the girls at my school. The teachers tried to stop them from purposely spreading it by quarentining all those infected (20% of the school at one point) in the science room during the day, as if that would stop it. |

| I got it a year and a half back. It wasn't that bad most of the time but sometimes an itch would flare up and it was all I could do not to scratch my eyeballs out with a fork. It also introduced me to the lovely world of eye-drops which I had never used before in my life. |

They're in the Pirate Isle... please don't shoot me
Pirates are dead sexy, why else would they want to wear something so cool other than to emulate something that isn't naturally part of Korean culture and make themselves cooler.... also, there's a lot of cosmetic surgery and if someone gets a mole or blemish of any nature near the eye removed, sometimes they will wear an eye patch... that's what I heard anyways, not sure on that.
***Edit to ask why the hell the verb "s h o o t" was censored... Now it looks way worse than it did to begin with!

| Oh crap I just saw a student wearing an eye patch being sent home. Let's hope it's not back. |

Are Koreans afflicted with the same strain of pink-eye that hit South Park about eleven years ago?
If so, you have to sh oot 'em in the head to put 'em down......my words of wisdom for the day  |
