    James May, host of Top Gear, was fired from Autocar Magazine back in 1992 for hiding a message in their annual Road Test issue. He used the large red drop caps at the beginning of each review to spell out “So you think it’s really good, yeah? You should try making it up, it’s a bloody pain in the arse.” Wikipedia has a scan of the whole message assembled.

    This e-mail is pretty typical for law school. I think what they’re saying is that there will be two-way traffic on the bottom floors of this particular staircase, but the top three floors will be entrance-only, with the exit stairs on the other side of the building. That’s complicated enough without … well, here, see for yourself:

    To accommodate a necessary change with internal traffic patterns when the new Library entrance opens later this semester, a permanent partitioning wall is currently being erected at the third level in the north stair tower. (Under the new traffic pattern, the north stair tower will be used for internal access from the third floor to the library collection on floors 4 and 5.) As a consequence, the north stair tower is henceforth no longer available as a means of egress from the upper floors of the law building. NOTE: It is still possible to exit the building via the north stair tower from the second floor.

    Yeah, this is a bar of dark chocolate with bits of hot chilies in it. Welcome to the next level.

    I got an attractive offer via spam e-mail earlier. The sender entreated me to “[u]nlease that watering hose inside your pants.” As I have been paying quite a lot on my pants-lease, for very little return, I’m tempted to take him up on his offer to buy out my watering hose. Thoughts?

    sushivectorHere’s a vector image of the best sushi roll I’ve ever tasted. It’s called the iRoll. Let me break it down for you: 3 different kinds of tuna (including the all-important spicy), pineapple, coconut, and a soy paper wrapper. It’s a multiple foodgasm for sure. The vector, incidentally, makes an interesting desktop image.
