I am going to a Paxosmotic here: that is explicitly hijacking a stupid thread to make it about soemthing else. This thread is now officially about Maddox.
I actually have that very firetruck (Rev's avatar) picture hanging up in my office. The story is that my friend Stephanie, at the time a fellow grad student, sent me a mass email of
this page. Now normally these are annoying as hell, but I laughed my ass off at this.
Now the thing about grad students, it that we are contantly amazed and impressed by the massive amounts of stupidity shown in the writings of the undergraduate assignment we are forced to grade. So it became a running gag that everytime we read something colosally stupid (Eg: "The second amendment of the Declaration of Indepedence gives us the right to bear arms") we would shout out, "ding-ding!"
