<p>Meh. Enough energy input into a system can at least halt entropy...</p>

<p>[ed. note: No discussion of moderation in threads. PM mods if you feel the need to do so.]</p>

<p>Where are these parking spots for Nobel Laureates?</p>

<p>What happened to the rest of punkdudeus's reasons? Do not disrespect the punkdudeus. As a Penthouse member he 0wns j00 all.</p>

<li>A really cool lecture hall that rotates in Pimentel</li>
</ol>

<p>

I believe that there are some just east of the Memorial Glade, on that road that passes by Leconte and Campbell halls.</p>

<p>Hah! That reminds me the one time when I saw Charles Townsend driving and stopped in front of Campbell Hall to drop off a piece of mail in the mailbox. I was right next to him!</p>

<p>Too bad the Nobel Laureates drive crappy cars...have you seen them?</p>
