I saw Superbad this weekend. (Michael Cera shined, and it was overall funny, but lacking the qualities that I adore in 40-year Old Virgin). There was a moment that bothered me in the movie. And it was one of those nerdy technical details. Michael Cera's character, Evan, is in math class. He is a senior in his last two weeks of high school. He is Dartmouth bound in the fall. He, and all of his classmates have Algebra II books on their desks.
NO WAY would a Dartmouth bound student be taking AII their senior year. They would have to be in Pre-Calc minimally, and even that is a stretch.
Come on! Evan is supposed to be wicked smart, and you slap an AII book on his desk! Please! Give the man some crazy hard Calculus!
And if you have not seen the web show, Clark and Michael, yet--you really should. You will some Arrested Development folk in there too. If I was 15, I would be TigerBeat wallpapering my room with Michael Cera. But I am not. So, I *clearly* don't.

That's a fun picture.
Also a valid point regarding the high school mathematics. Even I took AII in high school.
