CalTech & "common sense" in the news :-)
(AP) PASADENA, Calif. - Two dozen Caltech students
wearing Superman capes, tutus and other odd attire as part of a hazing stunt were rescued after getting stranded on the Mount Wilson Toll Road. Organizers of the California Institute of Technology initiation ritual said they didn't realize the road had been covered last year by a landslide. "You've got to remember that common sense is not factored into the intelligence quotient," said Deputy Greg Gabriel, who leads the Altadena Search and Rescue team. Hmmm, isn't there a proud Caltech alumni around here somewhere? :-) Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon? If so, try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/ If you enjoy optics, try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ATM_Optics_Software/ ********************************************* |
