1) No, no, no! Humanadon is clearly "The 'Don" whether he likes it or not. You're gonna be "Supafly." Nothing better than assigning nicknames to names that are already nicknames.

2) Why would a school have such stringent work policies? Does it have to do with tuition payment, or are they just trying to work their numbers to make themselves look more effective in the realm of career placement? Either way, that sucks, man. But all the more reason not to worry- it's a finite situation.

3) The Hound of the Baskervilles is good. You should check out the whole series of Holmes stories. They're good escapism, and full of character. If you liked the Winston Churchill jam, you should check out Team of Rivals if you haven't already. About Lincoln, very well written. And speaking of bowling, This book seems to have been made for you. Really captivating read, too. Jealous that you were that strong at bowling. I always really enjoyed it but completely sucked at it. Still do.

Anyhow, hang in there, and no need to thank me for blowing smoke. It's what this place is all about.

1) Well...fine! I do kind of like Supafly... 2) It's mostly the later, and it does seem to have with post-graduation job placement. For engineering majors it's something like 95+% job placement, which is hard to argue with. 3) I'm thinking about buying them after this. There's a bookstore that sells a bunch of classic novels for $3 each, so I'm probably going to see if they have anymore Sherlock Holmes novels. I already own Team of Rivals, haven't been able to dig too deep into it yet though. I don't like the title having such a negative connotation (based on that background), I've bowled alone countless times. It's one of the only good ways to work on your mechanics and improve them.
