aaron (Aaron A. Goodisman):
Ever feel like MIT has you spiraling downward into the black maw of an abyss?

capsalad (Dave Schulman):
I will do this work I see before me, pointing gravely.
I will suffer from the manifold pains of the world.
I feel the mountains pressing Atlas down.
I will forget how to swim when it is important to know.
I will say nothing.
I will swallow it all.
I wait.
Isopropyl alcohol leaves no residue when it evaporates.
I wait for it to be over.
I will be Driven Down.
And I will watch, I will be aware; I know that it is a nobler thing,
a more honorable thing, to acknowledge defeat-in-mortality than to waste
energy fighting that long heavy arm, the lever on which we turn. I know
now that the source of my power is also the means of my ruin, that those
who profit from my outflung substance are no better or worse than I am,
small and without lasting value, comfortless rodents scampering among
bones, without substance or limit, irrevocably and likewise
Gone.
Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead.
| "O... here comes the flood..." |

dachurch (Douglas A. Church):
Last night, I dreamed that dream again
I dreamed I had to take a test in a dairy queen on another planet
And in this dream I looked around
And there was this lady with a pen in her hand
She was making it all up
She was writing it all down
And she was laughing
She was laughing her head off
- "Talk Normal", Laurie Anderson, _Home of the Brave_

dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):
Something I learned today
Black and white is always grey
Looking through the window pane
I'm not inside your brain
Something I learned today
Yield to the right of way
Stopping at a four way sign
Someone else's rules not mine
Something I learned today
Never look straight in the sun's rays
Letting all the sunshine in
Can't remember where i've been
"Something I Learned Today" Husker Du

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
GDB kills bugs dead.

kerr (Deborah A. Wallach):
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade.
He'd let us in, know where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade.
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
Resting our head on the seabed
In an octopus's garden near a cave.
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(lies beneath the ocean waves).
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(happy and they're safe).
We would be so happy you and me
No-one there to tell us what to do.
I'd like to be under the seea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you.
-Richard Starkey
