There is no such thing as
child-proofing your
house.

If you spray hair spray
on dust bunnies and
run over them with
roller blades. they
can ignite.

A 4-years-old's voice is
louder than 200 adult
voices in a crowded
restaurant.

If you hook a dog leash
over a ceiling fan,
the motor is not
strong enough to
rotate a 42-pound
boy wearing a
superman cape.

It is strong enough,
however, to spread
paint on all four walls
of a 20-byu20 foot
room.

Baseballs make marks on I
ceilings. f
i
You should not throw
baseballs up when
the ceiling fan is on.

When using the ceiling
fan as a bat you have
to throw the ball up a
few times before you
3 get a hit.

The glass in windows
(even double-paned)
doesn't stop a
‘ baseball hit by a
y‘ ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet
flush and the words
"uh-oh," it's already
too late.

A six-year-old can start
a fire with a flint
rock even though a
36-year-old man says
they can only do it in
the movies.

A magnifying glass can
start a fire even on
an overcast day.

If you use a water bed
as home plate while
wearing baseball
shoes it does not
leak - it explodes.

Legos will pass through

Duplos will not.

Nowadays on campus, PDAs aren't

an acronym for “public displays of affec~
tion." PDA is now also being used to refer
to personal digital assistants, one of the
newest additions to college life.

The electronic equivalent of the daily
planner, these small boxes often hold ad-
dress books, calendars, notes and check-
book balances —— in short. a person‘s life.
Some of them can even hold games to
help students survive that strenuous 8

“My Palm Pilot is a big part of my
day," said computer science freshman
Derek Obrochta. “Without it, I‘d be lost."

Obrochta also said that the Palm Pi-

He said that his favorite option is
HotSync. which enables him to transfer
data from his Palm Pilot to his computer.

The Palm Pilot is regarded as the

People of all ages and races

the Arts Friday night to hear
the words of political activist
Angela Davis.

Davis. who once faced the
death penalty on allegations of
murder. kidnapping, and con

form. the death penalty. and the
case, of Muntia Abu-Jamal. an

”In our country. there are

racism that we do not recog-

Referring to prisons as “an
anchor of our economy.“ Davis
