celine (Robert Fullmer):
HERE IT IS! JUST WHAT YOU FRUSTRATED PHILOSOPHERS OUT THERE HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR! AVAILABLE NOW! FOR THE FIRST TIME! WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
Have you been driven to distraction by the indeterminacy of translation?
Are you a natural languages semanticist who's just had it with Quine's
arguments against the analytic/synthetic distinction, and his persuasive
views against any possibility of determining meaning? When you hear the
word 'Gavangi', do you just want to scream "Undetached rabbit parts are
anomalous!"? Don't just get mad! Get even!
THE INFLATABLE QUINE:
Comes with three fully functioning orifices! Life sized, with real
flesh-like rubber skin! Now you really can do all those things you've
always wanted to do to Quine - for only $29.95! And for an extra three
dollars, we'll send you a club to beat your Quine about the head until
he takes back everything he's done to undermine your work!
ORDER NOW!
And with your order, we'll send you a catalogue of the other inflatable
philosophers you've always wanted to abuse that will be available soon!
Neitzsche, Hume, Hegel, Kant, Heidegger, Mill, and many, many more!
Send check or money order to:

"allnighter" bet...
6.046 problem sets
\ finish writing chapter 4 of my thesis
outline chapter 5 of my thesis
x = done
\ = in progress
(note that I haven't quite gotten around to sleeping > 4 hrs/night yet...)

Thought for the day:
Today's secret word is merriment.
mer.ri.ment \'mer-i-m*nt\ n 1: lighthearted gaiety or fun-making : HILARITY
2: a gay celebration or party : FESTIVITY

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
A cold Cambridge morning. I heard a warning borne in the air.
About a place of power where no one had an hour to spare.
Where the lives have withered, silent students shivered in the cold.
Now their dollars captured by the talons of MIT, oh no!
Don't give in
Don't give in
Do not give in.
Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.
They quizzed them and they screwed them, in a terrible way.
Praying for some sleep-time at the end of the day.
There is no compassion for those who stay.
Don't give in
Don't give in
Do not give in.
There must be someone who can set them free:
To put the fun back into MIT
To save them all from dreaded Dean Tewhey
To protect what is left of old EC.
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see
Don't give in
Don't give in
Do not give in;
To FHP, no
To commons, no go
Fight tomorrow.
Step inside! Hello! We've an interesting show
Might enjoy it never know
Step inside! Step inside!
We've got thrills and hacks, Phys Plant better watch their backs.
Lock your bikes up to the racks
Come inside! Come inside!
Pay up! Pay up! Pay up!
Join the show!
In Somerville bars, poor grad students wish on stars
For some money and a car
Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
If you follow me there's a speciality
Many nerds for you to see
In SIPB, in SIPB,
Pay up! Pay up! Pay up!
Join the show!
Next upon the bill generating much ill will
Arthur Mattuck is evil
Make him chill! Make him chill!
And not content with that, with perl code behind our backs,
We re-create jik from scratch
Get into that! Get into that!
Pay up! Pay up! Pay up!
Join the show!
Welcome back my friends, to the Hell that never ends.
Can't believe you'd still attend.
Run away! Run away!
Beyond the Fishbowl glass sit some nerds flaming a class.
Be careful as you pass.
Move along! Move along!
Get away, the term's about to start.
Guaranteed to blow your head apart.
At the 'Tute, won't get your money's worth.
Biggest screw in Heaven, Hell, or Earth!
You gotta punt the Dome! Better get right home!
You gotta punt the Dome! It's a fire hose!
Oh, right before your eyes, a Lisp hacker makes AI's.
And he tools until he cries,
Then he dies, then he dies.
Get away, the term's about to start.
Guaranteed to blow your head apart!
You gotta punt the Dome! Better get right home!
You gotta punt the Dome! It's a fire hose!
Soon R/O will seem, in a daze or in a dream,
To be a quite surreal scene.
What's it mean? What's it mean?
A curse upon the man who did not create a ban
On ARA's wretched viand.
It's so bland! It's so bland!
Throw up! Throw up! Throw up!
Gotta go!
Right near the big slide rule, we've a sight just for a tool,
It's our very own Cray-2.
Keep it cool! Keep it cool!
We'd like it to be known if the horrors that were shown
Chilled you to the very bone.
To the bone, to the bone.
Quickly punt the Dome!
Quickly punt the Dome!
Quickly punt the Dome!
Punt the Dome!

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
DESCARTES'S COGITO
I think, and so I am. This was said by a man in France whose name I
can't call to mind. As a point from which to start, he sought that
which was free from doubt. Am I? I think I am. Do *you* think I am?
Do you see me? Or do you just think you see me? And how do I know what
it is that you think? I know what you say you think, yes. But for me
that is not proof. I must start from what I *know*. And what do I
know? Well, I know that I think. Good. And if I think, I must be.
Yes. Then let me start with this: I think, and so I am.

Three Rings for Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the
Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men
doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One
Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In
the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
