Say, Sherlock what is the most common sourse of methyl isocyanate? Asking for a friend

Sherlock: Thankfully, I’ve had use for this before.

John: You’ve WHAT-

Sherlock: It’s commonly found in pesticides, usually under the name of isocyanatomethane. I’ve done a few studies on its levels of toxicity.

John: Toxicity how?

Sherlock: A minute dosage can cause multiple organ failure. Wouldn’t do for murder, though.

John: …Sorry, what?

Sherlock: It leaves a very sharp scent behind. Easily identifiable- although, if you wished to burn the body, (which is a foolish endeavour) it would be far easier due to its high flammability.

John: I’m starting to think you might be a serial killer.

Sherlock: If anyone would like to know my perfect murder plan, I’d be happy to let you know!

These are all great ideas for the classroom but I heard two stories that made me rethink confiscating cell phones. Let's just say one teacher ended up having to buy a student a new cell phone and the other teacher was accused of looking at the student's nudes on that student's own cell phone. All this because two teachers confiscated cell phones. I do not get it either, but I do know that I do not want to be either teacher. I also fear that a student might steal another student's cell phone. Like how do these teachers keep track? I see some with numbered pockets, even a cell phone jail (complete with an alarm), and containers with lids. But what if a student takes someone else's phone? I have a hard time telling my students to not take another student's SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) book off another class period's shelf (even though the books have a student's name and class period on the sticky note). Maybe I will try these one day. One day.

Have you seen my animated tokens from Cardamajigs? Are you wondering how tokens could even be animated? Then check them out here. Thanks!

I have a question about "layered" control change effects. Say my opponent plays a Confiscation on a creature I control, and I play a Confiscation on the first Confiscation. Intuitively, I end up with control of the creature and both enchantments, because my Confiscation changes which player the first Confiscation grants control of the creature to. But what is the rules reason for that? Is this an example of a continuous effect dependency, or is it something different?

There’s no dependency here.

When the creature checks who controls it, it sees that Confiscate’s ability causes the aura’s controller to control it. 

So then the game checks who controls Confiscate and sees the other Confiscate giving you control of it. So this means that the first Confiscate’s control-change effect gives control of the creature to you.
