Harry the thief
Oct. 7th, 2005 05:02 pmGah. I'm beginning to realize that saving my work for a *Friday* was a very bad idea. Well, it's due at midnight, so I suppose I'd better get to work...
...after dinner, of course. :P
I remembered what the other thing I wanted to write about yesterday was. So we have these secondary locks on our doors, which are just those little chains - if the door's unlocked, but the chain is on, you can open the door a bit, but not all the way. Nobody uses them. Anyway, Sam and Chris were trying to see if they could unlock the chain lock from the outside, by sticking their hand through the door, but they didn't manage it. Well, I passed by and they wanted to see if I could do it, and I did! Yay!
Yay, I am so getting a math team shirt. On the back it says, "What's yellow and equivalent to the axiom of choice?" and has a picture of a lemon with a little "Zorn" sticker, like the "Dole" stickers. Yay.
Quotes:
Paul Sally: Name a small element of the rationals.
Guy he had called on: 1/8?
Sally: 1/8?! Have some ambition! Try 1/10300!
DuPont (CS professor), in his directory with the files for this lesson, has made two temporary files called "figure" and "figure.pdf". When done with them, he accidentally types "rm figure *" instead of "rm figure*"
DuPont: I think I just deleted everything...
...yeah, that's all. :P

No context
Oct. 7th, 2005 01:19 amSo today we had our second house meeting, and the question came up of whether or not we wanted to change the house shirt (it currently just reads "TUFTS". Someone suggested we put on the back "Where sobriety comes to die". Bill vetoed that, saying no alcohol or drug references. I pointed out, "But that's not an alcohol or drug reference - it only mentions *sobriety*!"
I think something else funny happened today, but I no longer have any clue what.
Whoever was reading the last packet at quizbowl practice today (don't recall her name): "...in kilograms per pubic meter..."
Matt, just now: "But in Chinese, all words are big-ass spiders."
Hm, "No context" sounds kind of like "NO CONTEST".
