Well as you know, Bob, you can't make a silk purse out of a
Oh my goodness! I think I just broke something laughing.
I asked because I started a blog about the costume shop, mostly because I am trying to track what is going well, and what I would like to change next year. I am working on trying to teach the students something working within y crazy situation, and in the process perhaps making the whole thing work better for me-- if my students can do things, than I don;t have to.

My grandfather used to say, "Never try to wrestle a pig. You just get dirty, and the pig likes it." (Meaning, don't argue with stubborn stupid people.)
An older version of not feeding the trolls. I like it.
That's really interesting, Sophia. I bet people who read erinaceous's blog would like it -- you should send it to her!
Miracle things that make your water "forget" it's water memory.

Reading that doubled the risk of my head exploding.
I remember arguing with a friend (who's very smart) that driving is more dangerous than flying. I made no headway at all. Yeah, I think risk (and probability in general) confuses a lot of people.
Allyson, how did they finally find the part? Will you write up the solution because it would be fun to share with the FB peeps I shared the first part with.
