So, last week I get hornswaggled into picking my kid
up from school. I arrive a bit early, so I actually
park the car and wander into the classroom just before
it all lets out.
Now this is a private school for special needs kids,
so painting and staining gourds with pictures of Bono
burn etched into them wasn't unusual behavior.
What _is_ unusual, though, is the set of names on
the side of the whiteboard, about 20 of them:
William Shakespeare
Albert Einstein
Zeus
Edgar Allan Poe
George Washington
Richard Feynman
Linus Torvalds
Isaac Newton
Marie Curie
Earnest Hemmingway
Hamlet
...
Naturally, the questions: "Uh, what do these people have
in common? Or why _these_ people? And *wait*, one of
those people is still alive!"
So, it turns out they were producing a list of names for
the set of computers that were recently donated to the school!
