Subject: The Little SWILNews #13 That Didn't Have a Theme

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a little SWILNews that
didn't have a theme.  It searched all over the enchanted forest for a theme,
but it couldn't find one.  Eventually, it realized that it was really very
happy without a theme, and it went back to its cave and lived happily ever
after.  The End


***SWILBusiness***

The Rabble weren't pathetic at all.

Comma has T-shirts.  People who haven't paid him or gotten them yet should
find him.

NominatebooksyoustupidilliteratepeoplesubmittoBEM!

Last week's movies were Schlock.  This week's movie was Star Trek IV: The
Voyage Home.


Sentience Proofs:

Sonia Mariano: When Sonia had long hair, she used
"Sentience" shampoo.  Since her hair is sentient, so is she.  Now, when she
doesn't have long hair, she is sentient because she is miserable.  She was
voted sentient because she brought us warm brownies at Walpurgisnacht.

Dan Blim: We voted Dan Blim sentient because he exposed the hypocrisies of
SWIL.  No, we can't tell you which hypocrisies.

Andrew Szafran: Drew pointed out that he demonstrated intelligent
discrimination by not eating Sharples food even though he was hungry.  He
also said that nonsentient beings only do what is necessary, whereas
sentient beings perform random acts.  Drew then built a sculpture out of
Sharples materials, but it was pointed out that a misguided termite would do
that too.  We voted that he was a sentient, misguided termite.


The Lottery: Callicles won the lottery.  There was a public
uproar.  Callicles selected the Michigan die and gave it to JC.


***NonSWILBusiness***

There was a contra at 7 o'clock a while ago.

Last Saturday at 10 pm, MST3K: "Mr. B. Natural" and "Manos: The Hands of
Fate" were shown in Kohlberg 115.

Worthstock was two Saturday afternoons ago, and it featured Jim's Big Ego.

There is a Powerpuff Girls game.

motorcycle.
- Robert was the first frosh to be president since Jim Huang.
- He was voted president against his will as he wanted to be.

shoes, and then took off running, reloaded on the run, and shot the

during lighting check.

her own and confirmed it, and then Rebecca had a vision of herself sitting

like her vision.

sculpture, and drew a diagram of it in Physics 7.

being demolished, and Robert showed her the big iron ball for
demonstrating conservation of energy, and then Robert undid the screw that
held it to the ceiling, and they hid it in a back storage room, and
Rebecca came with her car.  Robert was the only one who could lift it, so
he put it in his backpack, and brought it out to the trunk; with four
people in the car + the ball, the car was too heavy to get over the speed
bumps. The ball is still in Rachel's closet.

just wanders around muttering and picking things up and putting them back
down.
- Robert tried to think of a way to do the "dollar auction" on EBay and make
fantastic amounts of money after Kyra told him about it.  (the dollar
auction is the game where you auction off a dollar.  No, really.  The
catch is that the person who bids the _second_ highest amount of money has
to pay that bid, without getting anything in return.)

by the next day, and signed it "Night, Frank".
