PWN (verb)
1. An act of dominating an opponent.
2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.
Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned".
Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games.
1. "I pwn these guys on battlenet"
2. "This strategy pwns!" or "These games pwn"
3. "Mr. Carlisle's 3rd period is always getting pwned/pwnd/pwn3d like noobs by the glorious power of 2nd period."
4. "It's a pity that the USA is being pwn3d by such vile spew like the patriot act.
I think that would be a great entry for anyone's lexicon.

Amendment I
5. Many people might find themselves saying, "Man, my grade is gonna get pwned by these 10 point quizzes!" Especially if they are noobs.

Kyle,
You keep racking up serious Hall of Fame quotes. I can't wait to give you your award at the end of the school year.
This blog so pwns Mr. Wilson's blog.
6:15 PM
To add to Kyle...
Another common use of this term could be "Thomas Jefferson pwned Alexander Hamilton".
Just so you know.
6:17 PM
Totally. However Aaron Burr pwned Hamilton.
6:22 PM
That is true. But Aaron Burr got pwned by the House of Representatives, who elected Thomas Jefferson instead of Burr, which makes Jefferson pwn Burr.
TJ and the House > Burr > Hamilton
6:27 PM
Though, Hamilton did his part to see Jefferson to the Presidency...
They are both m45t0r h4xx0rz...
Hannah Montana is to Elvis Presley as 3rd period is to 2nd period.
6:27 PM
Damn,a lot of people pwned Hamilton. I found out what PATRIOT stands for in the Patriot Act!
6:28 PM
Imo, 2nd period>Jefferson>Hamilton>Burr>0>Hannah Montana>3rd period
6:29 PM
Amdendment
The Allspark>2nd period>Jefferson>Hamilton>Burr>0>Hannah Montana>3rd period
6:30 PM
Thomas Jefferson also pwned those peas he ate with his dinner every night.
6:31 PM
Who the heck is Drea B!?!?!?
Kyle and Nicole,
You both just made laugh out loud. Y'all are going in the blog HOF. Good stuff. Carlisle out.
6:36 PM
He also pwns the two dollar bill and the nickel...
Wow, this is just to much pwnage, it is starting to get slightly overzealous. And when there is a pwnage overload it smells like wet dog, cigarettes, and Limburger cheese... Kinda like 3rd period... (You just got pwned!)
6:38 PM
Carlisle you completely hurt my feeling sometimes. It's Andreea from 3rd period thank you very much.
6:39 PM
E-five Nicole!
6:41 PM
Andreea,
YOU HAVE NEVER GONE BY DREA B BEFORE!!
SORRY!!!!!!!!
6:53 PM
Well friends call me Drea and only teachers call me Andreea but since you're so hip-to-the-hop I decided to just use Drea on this blogspot. Cheers.
P.S.: So tomorrow we have that Socratic Seminar again and I was wondering if we all get a turn to say something or do we all just blurt out things and viciously fight with tooth and nail to get a say in the whole discussion? In western civilization we used a yellow hammer and passed it around to people that had something to say. It made me feel like the Warhammer God.
7:04 PM
HANNAH MONTANA PWNS EVERYONE!
7:38 PM
Gosh Kyle, or should I say flattop? Sure are rackin' up those HOF quotes.
Dr. Carlisle, just for the record, after you told Kyle his speech was eloquent, he started using all these fancy words on instant messenger to an irksome degree...
p.s. That pre calc test pwned us all. 1337n355!
7:43 PM
HAHAHAHA! Don't make me bestow upon this blog, the plethora of pwnage and burns in my repertoire! All of which I will use to smite 3rd period!
7:54 PM
E-five back, Kyle.
So it looks like this is what we have thus far:
Pre-Calculus test > The Allspark > 2nd period > This blog > Jefferson > Peas > Burr > Hamilton > 0 > Mr. Wilson's blog > Hannah Montana > 3rd period
8:02 PM
Hmmm, I concur, your additions are worthy of this new equation, Whenever an idea crosses my mind, I will continue to add to the list... I sense that this list will manifest into something epic, we are on the eve of something that could be beyond the Pre-calc test...
8:16 PM
AnDREA B,
I don't know you had this much personality!
Bad Charlotte,
HM is so over by next week.
Sarah Northwest,
I thought you were going to throw something at me today when you were arguing about the reading quiz. I was scared you were going to hulk out.
Okay time to watch The Office.
Nicole,
You continue to crack me up.
8:24 PM
THE OFFICE! YES! Nicole, if it is ok, I would like to add office to the equation, though I'm not exactly sure where, it is pretty grand though...
8:29 PM
Dr. Calizzle,
This blog pwns. Too bad according to this equation, its pwnage isn't as uber as it possibly could be. Maybe we should make a blog for only 2nd block so that we can plan the destruction of 3rd block...
Pre-Calculus test > The Allspark > 2nd period > This blog > Autobots > Jefferson > Peas > Burr > Hamilton > 0 > Mr. Wilson's blog > Hannah Montana > -[insert infinity sign] > our reading for tonight > 3rd period
P.S. Do you know how to make it so that I'm always signed in so I don't have to sign in every time I want to put a comment on here?

Can we watch Transformers in class? That would be uber sweet.
P.S. I PWN NUBS IN MY SLEEP.
P.P.S. Chuck Norris isn't in our equation... He should go between our class and this blog.
8:49 PM
Chris, pretty good equation additions, but I don't agree with the infinity thing... Dude, just use the Other section and type your name...
HAHAHA! 30 Rock is Hilarious!!! Hahahaha!
8:53 PM
Oh oops that was me
8:57 PM
How can you say that the reading and 3rd block are better than negative infinity? I would much rather be sent on a quest to disprove negative infinity than sit in their class and do the reading.... What if you had to do the reading while you were in the 3rd block class!!?!?!? Ahhhh!!!!!
9:05 PM
I cannot fathom the immense pain and agony being in 3rd period, let alone compiled with any other dastardly activities, even The Allspark + 3rd period doesn't counter the negative effects of 3rd period enough to free anyone from the hellish abyss and soul sucking destruction!
SHHH, no more blog till 9:30! Watch The Office!

Ouch... I acknowledge your pwnage, good one... But I think you are just jealous of my infinite wisdom, and although Hannah Montana is a clever alias for the situation, I think you are scared to confront me within the blogosphere, probably 3rd period scum...
Jk, Jk... good one...
9:32 PM
What is it with the whole P2 class and it "pwning" P3? Don't you people have a life? I always thought that IB students would be more mature about class competition but I guess in the end only P3 proved to have this useful matureness since they don't seem to bash on P2 like rabid little naked mole rat babies that just accidentally sniffed crack. Just admit it. P3 indubitably owns P2. We not only have better grades, but we also have better attitudes. We make Carlisle proud, thank you very much. Peace!
9:36 PM
Oh yea you're right. P3 owns P2. A wise man once said,
"Haha yea they're [third period] my special needs class"
But yea. Period 3 is amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how pumped I am to get into that class! Oh yea, since you are the special needs class, i used this thing called sarcasm there.
9:44 PM
And as far as having better attitudes... What attitudes do you have? You guys don't talk during class. So doesn't that make your attitude neutral?
9:55 PM
Wow, 14 e-mails in my inbox tonight. Ease up on the name calling between second and third periods. PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND PERHAPS SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS read this blog. I don't want to ever have to turn the comments OFF. I love both periods equally. Third period is getting better in the talking department. Honest.
Good night all.
10:08 PM
Sorry Carlisle about all that.
10:30 PM
I think due to the inflation of quiz grades, we should have a classroom Bill of Rights to protect us from unjust tyrants.
~~~~~~~~~~
thesis: The reading quiz on October 25th was unusual and unfair due to its break in the normal pattern of reading to the end of the section.
evidence: The following reading assignments have ended where the section ends: pg. 216-218, 222-230, 194-201, 201-205, 208-210, 150-151, 154-158, 145-150, 140-145, 134-140, 121-130, 112-115, 118-121, 93-98, 76-80, 84-93, 70-76, 61-66, 56-61, 48-56, 184-190, 170-175 (i.e. all of the reading assignments).
The reading assignment pg. 230-234 does not follow this pattern.
The section titled "The Embargo" does not conclude on pg. 234, but 235, misleading us into thinking we do not need to read that section or else the assignment would have been to read pg. 230-235. Never in the history of period 3 2007 have we been asked to read only part of a subsection.
conclusion: The reading quiz should be nullified due to the unusual, deceptive break in pattern of reading to the end of the section on the specified page.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within the small society that is Period 3, lies a metaphorical government. According to John Locke, there is a social contract that bequeaths power to the government, but only with the consent of the governed. If the government were to seize too much power to the point of being oppressive, it is the obligation of the people to throw off that government. John Locke's ideas and those of the Enlightenment founded this nation. Where would we be if the colonists had not first questioned authority?
Nothing personal Mr. Carlisle!
