It means you can think you're doing a good thing when it's really evil.
What the heck is this thing? It's really strange:

Just the greatest comedy film ever! No, it's really anti-marijuana propoganda from the 30's (if I'm correct about the time), and is laughably bad as such.

If thats marijuana it must be laced with something with the way they're acting. I thought it was supposed to make people calmer.

It's been laced with propoganda, everything is 1,000 times worse when laced with propoganda.

It's really crazy. And is it even possible to kill someone with a curtain rod?

If it's cast iron or a hardwood like mahogany, you could.

But then I think it'd be heavy and you wouldn't be able to swing it that easily. Also, what was up with the crazy-fast piano playing just before that?

If you get the balance right (i.e. hold it in the right place) and have some muscle mass on your arms and (especially) your chest, you should get it going fast enough. Fast piano playing is ususally a sign of either derangement or danger. Having not actually ever been interested enough to watch the film I'm guessing both.
In case anyone is wondering, No I have not whaled on anyone with a length of timber or metal, outside of the game of hurling of course.

It's hilarious to watch though.
Question (Please ignore the post below I posted) Ok. heres a question. i have a Japanese article which I would like to try and translate. But it is an image and I don't know how to type all the Japanese characters. If I PM that to somebody could they just turn it into machine-readable (copy-paste) text so I can send it through a dictionary? It doesn't look very long. Or is there some sort of very accurate OCR program.

Okey, so I quess I should have written this some time ago, but here it goes: I started High-school last August in a small school. There are 17 people in my class, and they are all great. One of them is a blind old friend of mine. At first it seemed like things would go great, but for some reason I'm not really comfortable with going to a group of people and getting to know them. And that's a problem since quite a lot of people knew each other in advance and formed groups and with those groups got to know the rest of the class. But I didn't know anyone except my friend, and since he's blind I often have to look after him which makes things a bit more complicated.
And then there's another thing: There's a girl on our class who I go dancing with, and I think I like her, but when we're together we often can't think of anything to say
. I used to think that relationships at my age are a waste of time, but my opinion has changed. I have no idea if she likes me, at least I'm quite sure that nobody else is interested in her.
So if you have any advice or just words of encouragement they would be highly appreciated.
P.S. I can not believe I just wrote & posted this!
P.P.S. If this would fit better somewhere else, just tell me.
Edit: It would probably be good to say that I'm 16 and male.

Well you're first problem seems to be a bit of shyness, coupled with a group that has already established a dynamic. What I'd suggest there is to see if there are any of the other students who share interests with you and introducing yourself through that shared interest. I would also consider taking on some activities outside of the school, where you'd meet new people as well. I was much the same as you at about that age, but when I made the effort to meet new people my shyness disappeared.
As regards the girl, oh to be 16 and in love (or at least lust). Well first of all being tongue tied is natural (and better than my situation, where I'd talk fine, but make absolutely no sense). You're young, and worried lest you say the wrong thing, experience will help there.
First of all try to find out if she is straight (also a mistake I made), and then that she's not spoken for. Then get to know her through common activities (which you're already doing). Then I'd think about asking her out for lunch, nothing fancy sandwich and drink, maybe a matinee (or other activity you both like), just as friends. From how that goes you should have a pretty good idea if she's interested. If so ask her to a dance, bring flowers for her, chocs for the mother, etc. and have a nice time. If she's not interested romantically, do not stop being her friend, you'll regret it.
Hopefully that wasn't all rubish and helps you. Just remember though we're all in the same position at some stage.

Thank you for the advice, I greatly appreciate it. I'm quite sure that she is straight 
. She's actually quite shy too, and is probably the best student on my class, with me in second/third place.

Study group may be an option then.

Oh and btw, it's actually rather difficult to go to any activities after school, since I live in the middle of nowhere and am not interested in sports, which is almost the only after-school activity around.
She lives quite far away, so it can be a bit difficult to meet after school. And I can't really think of a good place that would be near both of us where we could go for lunch except for my/her home...

Well I can't help you on places, as I don't know the place where you live. Could you cylce into the nearest town or something like that. Actually just thought of something, if your area is rural, there should be some really nice views (lake, hills, forest, etc.), maybe you could talk about a wander around in nature?

The nearest place that could be suitable is just too far away for us to travel on our own. Bus connections are pretty much nonexistent. But yeah, there's plenty of great nature around. I just feel like I wouldn't dare to ask her out...
