Dan is still wrong

sniffnoySo Dan and Josh continued arguing, as is to be expected. Josh kept making jokes about Dan's ridiculous argument throughout the rest of the day, in fact. He said that one of the ridiculous things said by Dan should even by on the T-shirt, although by now the T-shirt is frozen.
Speaking of which, Etienne apparently has me on the list of people not getting the T-shirt, even though I definitely told Cameron that I was getting one on the day of the picture. Hm. I can always get the Fermat's Last Theorem shirt, now that they're going to be selling those again.
Stupidity:
Today the bottom finally came off the big cokebottle. As is to be expected, I therefore decided to wear it on my head. I was walking around, bumping my head - well, hat - on the ceiling, when, while I'm standing under a low part of the ceiling, Justin tells me to jump. I do so. The bottle immediately hits the ceiling and is pushed down around my head as far down as the ears. It is not without some struggle that we finally got it off.
More stupidity:
At the dining hall, there is a conveyor belt, used to carry trays to the cleaning area. However, it is not a single wide belt; rather, it is two thin belts, on which one could put a tray, but if one wanted to send something smaller than a tray, you'd have to balance it on a single belt. So today, at dinner, done with my hamburger, I returned the plate I used for it. Not my whole tray, just the plate. It took me a bit, but eventually I balanced it on the nearer belt. Then I noticed a spoon just lying there next to the belt. I put it on the belt and watched it be carried down the belt. It should probably be noted that from where I was standing, it was possible to see the place where the conveyor belts disappeared into the floor (?) below. Simply put, so did the spoon. Nothing bad appeared to happen, but I keep expecting that a few hours later, the conveyor belt will spontaneously stop. Not that I'm there to see it.
Oh, and Steve has now also won as Mr. X at Scotland Yard.

That sounds like the bagel toaster incident. Except we were afraid the toaster would explode, or light on fire. But it's very similar, especially since the bagel toaster is essentially a hot wire conveyer belt.
