Your average high school teacher has heard it a thousand times: "No way, I'm not high. I'm just tired." Man, if the silky anteater went to high school, it'd be screwed.

And I’m happy to hear from you with suggestions on what to cover next. If it’s weird and we can find footage of it, it’s fair game. You can get me at matthew_simon@wired.com or on Twitter at @mrMattSimon.
