> > Well actually just "Don't Throw a Brick Straight Up". In front of the Faculty Lounge the whole list is posted there, but it's simply retitled "The Guide." I just saw it today, and the idea that one of my school's faculty members has stumbled onto Rinkworks is rather strange and king of creepy. Just imagine: one of my teachers might be reading this post! *shudder*

You know, one that has the correct Title heading, which is after all far superior to the shortened Title; and naturally this version would include the Names of the (*ahem*) auteurs ingénieux Samuel Stoddard and David J. Parker immediately beneath; and finally you'd append the equally ingenious © Copyright Notice at the bottom of the page. Don't you think so? :-)

I agree. Not to mention the fact that it's not as funny if you don't have the "guide to living for stupid people" line, which this version didn't.
