This is unusual. I have never answered so long a survey. It\’s pretty crazy. Why did I do that? I won\’t do it again for a LONG time. So, enjoy it while you have it. The Survey: Everything You Could Want To Know About Me! The Basics Name: Chris Age: 19 Birthday: June 8, 1986…

Good news, SST alumni: We don't need visitor forms on Alumni Day. A note: If you visit SST on a day BESIDES alumni day, make sure you get a visitation permission form signed by a teacher and turned in 24 hours ahead of time. It is required (though they may give some slack to first-time…

Go take a look at the Grand Illusions Toy Shop. They sell all manner of fun illusions and tricks, that are well worth looking through. I particularly suggest the Torofluxus, the Pseudoscope, and the Chinese Singing Fountain Bowl. Can you say, \”I want\”?

A disclaimer from the university\’s web site: \”Department Position on Evolution and \”Intelligent Design\” The faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences is committed to the highest standards of scientific integrity and academic function.…
