13:55 - Math ≡ funny

I've rapidly come to admire the excellent xkcd comic, whose math-geek humor encapsulates the way college felt better than being at college did. To say nothing of how well it recalls the 24/7 MarioKart parties that took place in Blacker room 40 throughout my junior year. It was a frequent source of profanities from me, if just from the noise.
But they did have a whiteboard at room 40, which I recorded for posterity à la bash.org:
Vote for First to Change their Major to MarioKart Because They Can't Do Anything Else (4860 hours = 202 days): --------------------------------------------------------------- Statement Votes --------------------------------------------------------------- Nick: "I have Chem 5." | Yifan: "It is fun to be the bomb." Andy: "I only have two classes with homework." | Amy: "12c isn't as hard as 12b." || Nathan: "I think MarioKart is part of E&AS." "I have to practice for 72." ||| Dave: "Turns? I don't understand..." || Eric: "There's a reason my 64 is in 40." Robin: "I played this all the time at home." Wedge: "Only if I can't hear it." Wren: "I just watch." Dan: "I'm a 3rd-term senior." Ben: "You mean I can't get paid to play MarioKart?"
And though that brings a smile to my face years after the fact, I have to say that the whiteboard of the creator of xkcd itself wins.
