A new discovery!
I have observed that some Idiots have adopted an odd, rolling gait that reminds me strongly of a penguin.
They use a peculiar, pendulum-like side-to-side motion to swing their hips forward, planting their feet on the ground in front of themselves with minimal bending at the knee or hip joints.
At the same time, the individuals that use this waddling gait usually have one hand gripping their pants, which I have observed to be baggy and shapeless; so much so that if they did not hold them and use their unusual gait, these pants would fall off the wearer's hips.
It is mainly the darker-skinned variety of Idiot that has developed this penguin-walk, as I call it, mostly because it is the darker-skinned variety (mainly males) that wear the baggy pants that require this odd gate. Some males of the lighter-skinned variety use the penguin-walk, but this is rare.
If the phenomenon of female Idiots wearing the particular baggy pants that require the penguin-walk even exists, it is rare enough that I have not seen it.
More as I find it.

Not much else to report, other than this:
A few weeks ago I came across another domino sound: whooping. Much like domino screeching or applause, which I mentioned earlier, whooping starts with a few individuals and others take up the call. The sound in similar to that of a howler monkey, a hollow, gutteral whooo. As yet I haven't an earthy clue what starts any of these domino sound-effects. It has so far intrigued me greatly, and I'm sure will remain a mystery for some time.
I have hypothesized, however; that perhaps these domino sound-effects are triggered by a mere random impulse, and with no reason to restrain, the Idiot simply follows through. In this way, I have yet another tidbit: The average Idiot's level of self control (and often, attention span) is roughly equal to that of a small child, around five years of age.
More as it develops. Peace.

Upon Further Investigation...
During a three-month break in my studies I had time to look back over my experiences and I have come to a conclusion.
Dopus familiaris can have any range of actual IQ, from below that of a normal human to equal or perhaps even above, which leads one to question what makes Idiots Idiots?
It is not a lack of intelligence that makes an Idiot, it is a lack of good sense. Some may be very intelligent (more's the pity) yet they waste it all being lazy, arrogant, and otherwise rather
stupid.
And also, I have made another small discovery about the curious pupae-like creature I fondly call Freshman:
It seems that Freshman naturally gravitate toward the older set, those like myself who have been in the particular school for three to four years. I am not as yet completely sure why, though it may be because they seek models after which to mold themselves, so that they can
take on a proper form once they are done with their 180-day Freshman stage.
For now, that is all. I'm sure this new year will give me ample chance to find more data.

Puzzling new Discoveries
In my research I've stumbled upon a very odd new theory. Freshman, as I call them, seem to the much like insect pupae. They can develop into either Dopus familiaris or into a normal human after 180 days being a Freshman. Because of this, I do not believe that these Freshman are a separate species.
Freshman, unlike Idiots, are very sociable and will often come right up to humans and associate freely. In fact, during my studies I have been accepted into a small core group of Freshman
and regularly sit with them during the lunch period. It is actually very interesting to see these freshman interact, and study what makes them become wither Idiots or humans. So far, my guess is that the individuals with whom they associate, along with other environmental factors, are the main influences that decide what they will become.

Dopus Familiaris
The Common Idiot seem to be a special breed of human, the main different being their intelligence. The average IQ of an Idiot seems to be roughly room temperature, and depending on the individual or sub-breed of Idiot, the season in which the temperature or the room was taken varies. Most are around autumn IQ, as far as I can tell.
Metaphors aside, the Common Idiot are, as their dubbing suggests, very common. More so than the average American, and much more so than their close relatives, the Dopus darwinis, or the Darwin-Award Idiot. These Idiots are rare, as most of them have been eliminated because of their sheer stupidity.
They range in size and skin tone, and there are several specific divisions between the light-skinned and dark-skinned, and genders. They mostly accept each other, though outside their own genus they are horribly aggressive and will rarely tolerate other species for very long.
Because of this intolerance, I have only been able to observe from a distance. Nevertheless, I have been able to identify several behaviors common throughout the genus.
The mating call and the mating dance, as with many bird species, differ between the males. They display, and the flashiest and most interesting display gets the female's attention. To my perspective, these displays are only attractive to the same genus, but then again I could be wrong.
During the period during the day when the greatest variety of Idiot are seen - lunch - I have made a few interesting discoveries. Near the end, some Idiots break out into bouts of screeching, or applause. 'Screeching' is the most apt term I have found for the sound. It is not a scream, nor a yell, nor a squeal. It is definitely a screech.
As yet I have not been able to pin down exactly why these domino screeches or applauds as I call them occur, I have not even been able to identify the individuals who start it. It is a domino effect, because when one starts the rest follow. I get the distinct impression that few
who join the domino screech or applause even know what the cause is.
I have been able to identify the gender(s) involved. The females of the genus screech, while both genders applaud. More males than females applaud, I am inclined to believe.
I did notice that during the first bout of domino applause I witnessed today that a small group of females stood and appeared to bask in the applause; I doubt it was actually directed at them, but I am not at all surprised. This behavior is common throughout the genus.
The dark-skinned breed seem to gravitate towards rap music, which to my ears is just an individual chanting unintelligibly with a background rhythm thrumming underneath. Nevertheless they prefer this music, with the lighter-skinned breed gravitating either toward the rap, or in the area I have studied, country. Though I am not completely sure, country has never struck a chord with my ears either, pun intended.
The dark-skinned males prefer 'tall tee' shirts and pants whose crotches often fall to about knee-level. The females seem to wear tight-fitting clothing that show as much bare skin as possible.
Some of the light-skinned breed dress in a similar fashion, though outside that group the mode of dress is much more varied.
All in all the Dopus familiaris is a fascinating genus to study, if irritating at times.
More information as I gather it. Until then, peace owt ch'all.

Introduction to Dopus Familiaris
In my career as a high school student, I have come upon many instances of a creature I have named Dopus familiaris, also known as the Common Idiot. They exist in many shapes and forms, though the individuals I have studied are the adolescent and more volatile, as far as I can tell, Idiots.
I have accumulated a fair amount of research and I plan to post it here for posterity. And possible fame.
I will, in the following posts, explain my discoveries about the ways of the Dopus familiaris, as much as I have been able to gather. I will end up changing, and certainly adding to my reservoir of research, so if you are interested in my work please check back regularly.
