If only this class were available to the Jon Snow, then Ygritte wouldn't rub his cluelessness in his face so much! HA!

But then, maybe the show wouldn't have earned as many Emmy nods as it did!

So now, not only can you watch Game of Thrones on HBO, but now you can actually STUDY it thanks to the class being offered at the University of Virginia!

(Looks like someone's taking advice from the professor who created the Miley Cyrus sociology course!)

But, wait, GoT is based on a book series, what's the big deal that there's a college course on it?

Well, Lisa Woolfork, the professor of the summer class at UVA, explains that it's much MORE than just a silly old English class.

In fact, she's teaching the books along with the HBO episodes and proving that the series doesn't "ruin" the books, but they enhance the reading experience!

She said:

'One of the goals behind this class was to teach students how the skills that we use to study literature are very useful skills for reading literature and TV in conjunction. Game of Thrones is popular, it’s interesting, but it’s also very serious. There are a lot of things in the series that are very weighty, and very meaningful, and can be illuminated through the skills of literary analysis'

It’s so literary – how in-depth it is, how robust it is, how much there is to discuss about it. But we’re also very concerned about the pop culture aspects, how we as viewers receive Game of Thrones. I think it’s important to apply the same principles we do with literature to television and film…'

WHOA! How exciting does THAT sound!

We wonder what the next pop culture-induced college class will be?

The Avengers differences in comic books and movies? Taylor Swift's influence on the music industry?

So many options!

Dillan Barmache gave an incredible speech during his graduation ceremony at Hale Charter Academy — but that's not even half of it.

What's super impressive is the fact that's he's autistic and he's non-verbal!!

The 14-year-old had often felt trapped inside his own body, unable to speak. With the help of an iPad and a letter board, Dillan was able to give his speech.

The whole speech reads:

It’s not easy getting good advice, especially when it comes to romantic relationships.

But for substitute teacher Cassandre Fiering, asking her 4th grade class about her boyfriends proved to be a bit of a bad idea!

It actually cost her her job!

The 45-year old educator and part-time actress was teaching at P.S. 189 in the Bronx when she asked students to decide between the two men she was dating! Investigators say she even acted out scenarios she’s had with her suitors and then had the kids determine which man would make for a better mate!

Oh boy…

You rarely hear of this happening!

And yet when we realized who was doing the goodness, we didn't bat an eye!

Amy Poehler was on a plane recently kicking back in her first class seats when she noticed a mother struggling with her baby and her bags in the coach section.

The Parks And Recreation star with the heart of gold offered to change seats with the lady to which the mother politely refused, and that is where it would've ended with most people.

But Amy ain't most people!

Here's what a source said went down

Mila Kunis wouldn't be hard to spot on the streets.

Just look for the gorgeous woman, oozing talent and sex appeal.

What is less easy to spot is her baby bump! Especially when it's hidden behind her post workout hoodie.

Mila was snapped while leaving a pilates class. That's so great she's getting her sweat on for her health and the health of

Joaquin Phoenix is taking karate, just so you know.

Now that we've cleared that up a bit, we also want you to know that he was spotted leaving his karate class in Beverly Hills — barefoot!

This wouldn't be a big deal, because karate is done barefoot a lot while in training, except he left the dojo to grab some cash from the ATM and STILL didn't put shoes on!

What about glass? The dirt?

He's either super tough or absolutely mental!

After dating a computer for a while, we suppose you're immune to lots of kinds of pain!

LOLz!

Hmmm — we wonder if we'll be seeing Shia running around without shoes next!
