I think I'd better give up on the logic before I become terminally
depressed and kill myself.  Say, you're the grasping expert, aren't
you?  Have you managed to grasp any of Scott's notes?

Ah, how I long for the days of easy word problems.  Like the ones
you get in 5th grade, or Architecture.

"A countable, dense linear ordering without endpoints leaves New York
for Chicago at 80 miles an hour.  Assuming that the structure is
lambda-categorical for some infinite cardinal lambda, write down how
many times you read this question in utter incomprehension before
moving on to the next one."

That really is outstanding; at any other school they would
probably just have thrown them away and put in new ones.

Very well, then, I volunteer to lead a Quest to find these "alternative

provisions for 7 days journey.  Who is with me?

Right.  I'll go see how many I can scrounge up; these freshman
aren't locking them up too well.

Subject: Good news / Bad news.

The good news is that the department is finally getting that
swimming pool we've been asking for.

The bad news is that in their haste to have it installed, they
failed to seal the floor of my office before pumping the water
into it through the air conditioning vents.

Feel free to come paddle any time today, though.

Here's a comment that was discovered in some of Jonathan Crabtree's code...

 // Can add these lines if triangle strip code is ever added to Jack.
 // Which will probably happen, as the size of Jack seems to be approaching
 // infinity as time goes by.  But the bigger Jack gets, the more he can bench.
 //       if (vert == 0) fprintf(pfile," [tstrip begin]");
 //       if (vert == lenarray[loop]-3) fprintf(pfile," [tstrip end]");
