GEN PG,


Are You Smarter Than a Fourth Grader? or Sammy Winchester Ain't Indiana Jones.

Timeline: 1991 - During flashback scenes in "A Very Supernatural Christmas"

John reached into his coat for the familiar comforting bulk of his journal and realized something was wrong. Horribly wrong. The cover didn't feel like leather, and the sides didn't flex in when he grabbed it. He pulled out what was where his journal should have been.

MathQuest 4?

John looked up at the demon-possessed man staring pissily at him from inside the restraining circle.

"Uh, looks like I'm fresh out of exorcisms." He held up the textbook and grinned gamely. "How's about some long division instead?"

Then again it's really John's fault for not telling Sam about everything in the first place.

Yeah, but then it's the YED's fault for messing with the Winchesters in the first place. So we can blame it all on the demons!

Somehow though, I don't think John'd buy that after trying to exorcise a demon with a fourth grade math text.

You would think they'd have those things memorized by now.

Yeah... but... *points to Dean in Sin City* Not so much. John and Dean seem to be more focussed on guns and physical stuff and depending on the reference material being there for the ritual/research stuff.

I can remember parts of it because of the little audio project I did way back last year sometime. "Ragna terre, cantatae deo, solite domino, prefertu super chelum chelae, av oriento *mumble something something* satanica protestas..." I remember the satanica protestas bit because I always translate it in my head into 'no matter how much Satan bitches about it.' :-D
