So I just handed in the research summary and preliminary annotated bibliography for next semester's thesis, and Sir Radcliffe handed me a package with a platypus. AAAGGHHH! I hadn't thought this was going to go on for *two* semesters. Do I have to wait until the end of the entire year to find out who is doing this to me? (The new one is a water bottle. Well, I needed one.) Also, this was not a deadline I had been going on about. Either 1) somebody is living in my day planner, which would be quite a trick because I don't have one, 2) somebody is taking notes on everything I say and sifting out the rare mention of deadlines, which would be unnerving, or 3) and most likely, somebody took a *large stack* of platypodes to each of my thesis advisors and asked them to hand them out on the deadlines, whenever those happen to be. I find that possibility just as unnerving as 2, for completely different reasons (how much space do people think I have in this room, anyway?).

Also I had to explain the whole thing to Sir Radcliffe. He laughed hysterically and had interesting reactions to the various philosopher names (when I got to Spinoza, nodded and said 'Ah. Poisonous spines', not a reaction I've had before).

Sometime after written work is due I will post proof that Apollo is Dionysos, and then proof that Apollo is not Dionysos because things equal to the same thing are not always equal to each other.

Oh, and the water bottle isn't shaped like a platypus, it just has one on it, which is bad enough.
