Collusion

I'll tell you a secret; finals are optional if your class is graded on a curve.

My game theory class successfully made an agreement to all not take the final.

If you're wondering what game theory is, it's basically the study of why this kinda stuff should never happen. The difference in this situation was, what people had to lose by not taking the final was not nearly as much as they had to gain by having a story like this to tell everyone they know.
In case you're wondering, I'm the one with the blue jacket, on the left side of the picture, grinning like he just got away with something.

Identity

I wish I had a picture, but it was just too quick.

Passed a guy in the library wearing a BYUSA shirt I hadn't noticed before.

It said, "I Am BYUSA."

And for some reason, I couldn't stop laughing.

Timely Words

I didn't do it, but I couldn't agree more.


Ironically, I feel the same way about the snow.



If you're feeling up for a real head trip, try loading the full size version of the bottom image, and look at it full screen. You'll get dizzy, for serious. Especially if you've been studying for too long.

Re-Birth, Happy Easter

From a faithful reader and fellow student, Bryan Bryce.

"Seeing as finals are coming up soon, I thought everyone could use some good ideas on how to squeeze some extra points out of their professors. Don't know the answer to a question on your anatomy exam? Show some school spirit in your bid for points! Go COOGS!!!"

Happy Easter, everyone.

The Word is "Stigma"

Overheard on campus:

"In Singapore, there is a really big astigmatism about grafitti."

Huh...

So...they can't see graffiti? I mean, if there is an astigmatism about it.

Just wondering.

Meta Mistake

ABC 4 did a story on the mistake yesterday from the DU.

Funny, though, that while they're reporting on the mistake, they didn't learn the lesson from it.

NOTE: Where do you think they got that picture? That red circle looks mighty familiar. Okay, I'll just say it, they got it from this blog.



They should call a truce while they're tied.

Let's hope and pray this thing keeps folding back in on itself.

P.S. I'm aware we have many a typo on our little media outlet at This Just Happened. It hapins to the bets of us. It jsut did.

Meta:

EPIC FAIL.

They recalled this, corrected, reprinted, and redistributed by the early afternoon.

But the damage is done.

And the Internet never forgets.

FHE Film Festival

Our ward is having a Film Fest. I love makin' movies, but it's been super hectic lately, so I figured this would work just as well.

Starring Mike and Lauren!

Aren't they great little dancers?

Justin M. is my favorite.

My Cameo.

Disco!

HSM3

Breakin'

Enjoy, you Ward members, you. And everyone else.

xxx-mas

We were at dollar tree, and we were discussing the "surprise for a boy"," surprise for a girl a grab bags." If you're not familiar, these consist of several fun cheap items in a bag that can be used for a a birthday present. As I was looking at the titles on the bags they were pretty normal "for a boy" "for a girl" for "baby girl" and then one bag jumped out from the back "Adult X-Mas," ya know...for that special someone (wink wink).

Since this is Provo I'm assuming this is completely benign however, I wasn't about to peek in and find out.

Happy April 1st, everybody.

Let's put a Smile on that Face...

I work at BYU Weekly. It's the greatest job on campus, and I have some fantastic coworkers.


For those not in the know, this is a reference to a recent successful superhero movie.

NOTE: "Shoot" is a production term meaning to film or get video of. No sleeping students were injured in the making of BYU Weekly.
