Happy Birthday, Hil!
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Hil!!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Was there an actual math fight?
It was sort of like Thunderdome, except with more chalk.

Swouncing
Thunderdome
t ignorant And I should Google that in order to find out what it is, I guess. Though I imagine it's nothing like the "17!"-"8!"-"17!!"-"8!"-"17!" that's scribbled all over my math notebooks from highschool, numbers fight with the girl I was sitting next to.
Do you still use chalk in classrooms? This year the last classes in this university switched to whiteboards. So now instead of white chalk all over my fingers I get black hands from markers. Still better, though. They scrub off easier, and I highly appreciate the possibility to breath and write at the same time.

The best math teacher I had in high school was allergic to chalk so he used an overhead projector and marker. He always had a black or blue stain on his sleeve from resting his arm on the overhead.

It's from a Mad Max film--end of civilation, lots of man to man combat in a giant dome. It's brutal. Very much like math.

Speaking of brutal - this is kind of neat. They had a vertical race here this morning - 103 flights of stairs up to the observation level in the Sears Tower.

They still use chalk at the fictional university in the show. I presume they still do in a lot of older buildings.

I know a lot of people who dislike the smell of white-board markers. Apart from disliking the feel of chalk dust on my hands, I liked using chalk to teach. I like the sound of chalk on the blackboard (when it's being held properly). Writing on overheads or a whiteboard is never quite as satisfying. Too quiet.

I know too many people that liked the smell a little too much.

Running?? Up 103 flights? I want to barf just thinking about that.

Our wings are not tired.
Wow running up 103 flights! 103 steps would have me melting into a puddle.
All the chalkboards in our schools were replaced by whiteboards a while back. I have a green chalkboard at the house. It's kept over the Space Invaders machine to track the high scores.
