I'm a little surprised to learn that sarameg has had more than one experience with projectile vomit.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Dude, I was a nanny! And aunt. My first nephew spewed all over my neck. Plus the fish in Cesky Krumlov. But that was personal. And maybe too much rum. But most likely bad fish, given everyones' reaction. For the record, toilets are better for projectile than urinals. And barfing out the window in CZR is a no go.

Sigh. A letter to the Ethicist column in the NY Times today. [link]
My daughter attended a small liberal-arts college in the U.S. that spends 25 percent of tuition funds on grants, scholarships, etc., none of which she received, although some were available to her. My wife and I strongly believe that this is forced charity, a redistribution of funds and hence unethical. We give to charity and support our alma maters, but that is voluntary. Shouldn’t the school simply cut its tuition by 25 percent?
What is wrong with people lately?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
"Shouldn’t the school simply cut its tuition by 25 percent?"
Or you could make market-based choices, and send your kids to a different college. You do not live under Communism, much as you might think you do.
Seriously. We only ended entirely free undergraduate university education a few years ago (I was lucky enough to start uni in the final year of government subsidies). I for one think it was a short-sighted mistake to end it, and that the possibility of social mobility through education deserves massive investment. At the very least, I'd be delighted if my M.A. tuition fees contributed towards a scholarship for an undergrad whose parents couldn't afford the fees. But I'm a silly liberal.

Awwww. It's so cute when you let the masses interpret Nozick into out current system-of-lives.
