I'm surprised this hasn't been said yet, but

Rogues do it from behind.

This is ridiculous.

School may be for learning, but at this point, the year is almost over. Seniors already know where they're going if their going somewhere. AP tests will be over soon if they're not already. High school is such a joke and if administrators can't take a joke, they have a problem.

As for setting a bad example for freshman, there's a reason why they're called senior pranks. They're generally done towards the end of senior year and if freshman pull crap, they're probably punks who would've done it even if seniors didn't do a prank.

Having a sense of humor, creativity, and motivation to do a project outside the mindless drone-work of high school is a good thing. Think of the MIT pranks. The people who pull them are awesome.

(Prank: Set 3 pigs loose in a school and number them 1, 2, and 4. Except don't, because then you might not graduate.)

Hitchhiking can be dangerous, of course, but as #27 pointed out, you never hear about the successful stories.

I hitchhiked with two friends from a small town to a cabin where we were staying without coming to harm. The beat poets Ginsberg and Gary Snyder hitchhiked up the NW coast. There are probably more examples of successful rides than tragic ones.

Just because we only hear about the times when trust was betrayed doesn't mean that people never safely trusted others.

It's tragic that while so many people have unintentionally proved her right, when trying to make a point, she was killed.

Also, the phrase 'mentally ill' seems often used to absolve people of their guilt because they didn't know what they were doing. It doesn't seem appropriate to use it here.

That's awesome. There's something similar at Reed College and I spend hours each weekend just reading comic books there. It's called the MLLL and it has a pretty respectable collection of comic books. Though, I don't think anyone actually knows how many there are.

It's open to all students all the time to read as they please. The conditions aren't nearly as controlled as the ones above (though all of the complete runs have been bound in book volumes to keep down the wear and tear) and the collection is probably only a fraction of that donation. In any case, it's not -quite- a library (nothing is allowed to leave the room), but I'm rather thankful to have it.

It'd be awesome if more places started doing this.

Man, that's scary.

I'd feel really weird eating something that looked so human. Hell, it'd be worse watching people eat something that looks like me. Sheesh.

In my opinion, I think this is an awesome idea.

Instead of reading/watching something awesome and fanning over it, we see the fandom first.

The fandom then defines and expresses the original material it's about--the show that doesn't actually exist.

I'm looking forward to this.
