Via Orac, at Respectful Insolence, here are The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.
I laughed and nodded and cringed all the way through this. Laughed because it is funny. Nodded because it's funny because it's true. Cringed because I kept thinking, Is that me? Am I stupid? After all, the first basic law is: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
The means that one of the number of stupid individuals you've underestimated could be yourself, right?

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!
