Rain, rein, reign... (raign?)

sniffnoyThe title of this entry is meaningless. Please ignore it.
...you aren't ignoring it...
Stop looking at the title! It doesn't mean anything, I told you that!
Well, the "rain" part does, actually.
Today started off as just another day, (though an especially hot one), but this changed rapidly in the middle of dinner. Upon leaving it, it was a bit hard not to notice the torrential rain soaking everything in sight. Needless to say, by the time I reached the Towers, I was very, very, wet. Even more so because I made the mistake of trying to hide under Josh the Counselor's anti-umbrella, which gets even more rain on you than not having an umbrella at all.
After I changed my clothes, it became just another day again, so really this is completely insignificant. Except that I'm not wearing any shoes because they're still not dry.
Er... was there any point to that? Not that I can see. Did *anything* significant happen today?
Well... I couldn't get the top off a Pepsi bottle...
OK, so a today had a total of 0 significance.
Oh, wait, I just remembered these:
They put the Primitive Root Theorem in today's podasips. According to Justin, the proof of this took up more than 4 blackboards. Do they actually expect us to do it?
Oh, Josh the Counselor managed to convince Billy that 51/3 is rational, by using a continued fraction close enough to fool the calculator, and that you can cancel digits (eg 64/16 = 4/1), but failed to convince him that π is rational. Billy was sure you couldn't cancel digits, and decided to come up with a counterexample: 65/26. Try that.
A giant icefight started today at lunch, which, as it went on, eventually resulted in Daniel and Mung essentially wrestling in the middle of the cafeteria. Daniel injured his arm somehow, but no-one's really sure how, especially since he's completely fine now.
Ah yes, some old news I forgot about:
A few days ago we found that the desks in the 5th floor lounge had been moved against one of the walls. Since they were near-useless to us like that, we moved them back. Before long some custodian came up to the 5th floor lounge, saw that we had moved them back, and started trying to explain to us why they had to be against the wall, which seemed largely to do with the mess we had made. However, the exact line of reasoning was unclear, as his English was some of the worst I've heard in a while. His main point, so far as I can tell, was "No mess no floor." We're still puzzling over this one.
