"Welcome back, everyone," Jim said when class started. "We're at the point in the semester where the syllabus I put together is really more of a guideline. But since I forgot to plan for a break week and I've really wanted to talk about this topic for a while, let's just skip straight to Andrew Jackson."

( SPOILER ALERT: Jackson shot a guy in the nuts. )

Library [10/23]

[furnaceface]

Hallowe'en decorations! In the library!

It was more likely than you'd think!

Jonothon was already in good spirits once again today, considering he had a date for the dance after his shift. Coming in to see the library done up in preparation for a day of the year when the freaks took the forefront was even better, still. If anyone needed him today, he was going to be wandering about, making certain that the decorations were all properly askew, and then hanging up some more fake spiderwebs. Because a spooky library wasn't complete without an absolute overdose of cobweb, after all.

He was making a list in his head, yes, of what he ought to bring in next Friday to complete the look.

"We'll make this quick today since I assume most of us want to get ready for the dance," said Hoshi. "If anyone has ideas for the paper, now is the time to speak up. I've been kicking around the idea of doing a themed edition, though I have no idea what that theme would be. Suggestions?"

[Please wait for the OCD in place. The world will not end today.]

Engineering Math, Period 2, 23 Oct '09

"Good morning," said Mohinder, from in front of a board littered with streams of equations. "Today we'll look at time travel, something that although not theoretically impossible, isn't possible. At least not in the here and now."

"Travelling into the future - if you achieve a speed close to that of light - " he said, starting to pass out a couple of handouts. "Is possible, due to time dilation. The passage of time, even the sequence of events - first this then that - is not constant, but depending on the reference of you, the observer." Mohinder continued pointing out relevent equations as he went into more detail.

"The alternative - travel to the past, is full of the possiblity of paradox even for those people who are homicidally inclined to their grandfathers." Moving on from paradoxes, Mohinder spoke briefly about wormholes, cosmic strings and light-speed travel, before finishing, "Now here's a reasonably plausible film about time-travel, Starter."

OCD is up!
