Lesson Zero (October 15th 2011, 22 minutes)

Summary: Twilight's OCD reaches paralyzing levels.

Reference to 'Magic Kindergarten' with a flashback? Odd. Kindergarten as a concept was first proposed back in 1780 or so, as at that time in Europe 'primary' schools only accepted students who already had learned to read and write at home, likely from private tutors. Basically school being the equivalent to the modern 'middle' school. By the mid 1800's the concept had shifted around, with Kindergarten and Primary Schools moving younger, and the secondary school being created to fill the gap between Primary and College. The main difference being that in many regions Kindergarten has remained a private, optional institution, while the Primary Schools have become compulsory and government run. Given the way Twilight talks about it, and the way the classroom is set up in that really brief image, she may be using the term 'Kindergarten' to refer to the first year of compulsory education.

That phrase always bothered me. Why would you keep looking in places after you found the thingy?

That's a different style barn than the main Sweet Apple Acres barn. More basic. That means the farm has multiple barns, this one far enough away from the main complex that you can't see one from the other. Man that farm is huge for a small family-run business.

Swedish massage. At least's what Swedish massage *feels* like.

Fainting couch summoning spell. Amazingly useful.

Creeeeeeepy.

Big Mac just tossed a score of other ponies off of himself. Earth Ponies as a tribe may not be physically stronger than the other tribes in canon, but Big Mac as an individual is definitely exceptionally strong.

Heh. Big Mac is a Brony.

Celestia can teleport, which isn't that surprising. It explains how she manages to move around so quickly without a procession. However, there's a definite *poof* noise that hasn't accompanied her appearances.
