Things from class
I made poetry. Positronic.
What else can we learn from dumb university students?
I guess this really doesn’t reflect well on my fellow students, but some of this stuff is too good to pass up. Let’s have a lesson in microwave safety: Jan 12 0237 Report of a small fire in a microwave oven in Addington Hall. ACTION: Guelph Fire and University Police attended. Damage caused by activating […]

They’re actually “oversized lettermail”, meaning I get […]
