Yeah, there's the rub. Full price school lunches are $2.50 where I live, and I have four kids in school. If had to pay full price, that would be $10 a day. And they'd be brown bagging it.
Even after seeing the sample text, I think the kid is awesome. They DID say the award was because of how well he did considering his disability. Comparing his handwriting to other fifth graders is not an issue. How many other fifth graders can write that well with their elbows? And he did NOT take an award that would have gone to an able-bodied student.
So I cropped it. I hope it is no longer offensive.

Gellner, the story I used from the Cracked article a couple days ago was about Voskhod 2, which launched in 1965.

Possibly the source for this fad?
