The discipline question is an open-ended question that appears on many American college applications. In addition to transcripts, recommendations, and college entrance exams, students are expected, on applications that present this "question" to submit descriptions of any disciplinary incidents throughout their high school career. It often takes a form such as:
(This isonlyan example.) In addition to submitting your application materials, candidates for admission are expected to be forthcoming about discliplinary history. Please disclose any disciplinary actions more severe than detention which have been measured against you, and the charges leveled against you.
Minor disciplinary infractions can be ignored, so the discipline question is a non-issue for most American college-bound students. For some, however, it represents a serious threat. Students and parents fear that, if a student is forthcoming about details of a discipinary infraction, it may mean certain rejection in America's highly competitive admissions process. On the other hand, to omit such details would be dangerous, were the incident to surface in teacher's recommendations or guidance reports.
The discipline question is often debated in college admissions guides. Anecdotal evidence indicates that omission is, in general, more successful than disclosure, especially for mid-level infractions. Severe infractions, usually involving violence or criminal activity are highly likely to be disclosed by guidance counselors and school officials, for ethical reasons, whereas more minor indicants are often hidden.

Sim Brick is a parody of the popular Sim series of computer games. It was a computer game written in 1991 by Sensible Software and included with Amiga Power issue 13.
The game is designed to simulate a brick. There are four options:
- Exist (if the brick does not already exist, it is called into existence)
- Info (displays a schematic of the brick)
- Pause (pauses the game)
- Quit (quits the game)
The game also features an ant, which always meets an untimely and bloody death when the brick is called into existence, because the brick always spawns in mid-air and crushes it.
