that one thing that still bugs me about Chamberlain

[themeletor]

Chamberlain Hall, that is -- my dorm.

and the thing is, I know you've probably heard variations on this theme about a thousand times, and I know I don't know very much about plumbing, but isn't red supposed to be for HOT, and blue for COLD?

thank you; that's what I thought.


also on the list of things you've probably heard a thousand times, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin died.

I know I'm a terrible, soulless wretch, but I cannot be the only person who laughed when I heard this.
(then I realized a significant part of my youth had died, leaving millions of already-tasteless-and-now-even-more-so bad jokes and dodgy Australian accents in his wake, and I mourned. in his final act of derring-do, Steve Irwin had tainted us all.)

...I just noticed you live in the hall named after an American Civil War hero.

Don't mind my history geeking. I hail from Gettysburg and his name is everywhere in the books at the tourist stores. *facepalms*

(I also liked the name for the longest time once >.>)

And a professor there once and once the president? Am I right?
