Philips Exeter Academy <3
Of all the things to love about Philips Exeter – a long history, many notable alumni, graduates going to ivy league schools, the Harkness system – this Wall most loves the response of the principal to a group of white students objecting (during the Civil War) to the presence of a black student: “The boy is to stay; you may do as you please.”
“O Wall, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not yet collapsed in ruin.” –from basilica of Pompeii
We are not born for ourselves alone. (Cicero, On Duties)
What is the best place to have sex in the O’Neill?
The best place to have sex is somewhere that you feel safe and that you have permission to be in. As for O’Neill, there aren’t exactly a lot of secret passages or corridors or stacks you can get lost in like some other libraries. The stacks in the library have study spaces scattered throughout, which means that anyone could come along at any time. Similarly, the 5 floors of space we do have are pretty densely populated by staff (office space is a chronic problem on campus). Nevermind the fact that the walls can talk. O’Neill is a less than ideal spot for a private act like sex. Best of luck to you in finding your best sex space.
Chicken or the egg?
I have checked with my helpers and they like both chicken and eggs. There are so many ways to prepare and enjoy them. Do you have a favorite recipe?
My grammar is flawless – “on Newton” being an abbreviation for “on Newton Campus” (em-dash may be used to function as a comma above).
I’m sorry! Your grammar is indeed perfect, and I’m not sure how I read “on Newton” as anything other than the Newton campus. (If walls could blush, I’d be beet red right now!) I will look into the wilting of flowers on the Newton campus and provide an answer when I find one.
Should I shoot my shot?
In any case, don’t throw it away!

I like all of the painted lettering and pinstriping on Phil Mastroianni Corp’s trucks! Nice touch!
I agree, and as a Wall, I deeply appreciate a good paint job. If you’re a connoisseur of painted trucks, you might appreciate the fine art book Wings of Diesel: Trucks, Identity & Culture in Pakistan, by Jamal J. Elias. It’s over in the Bapst Art Library: NK1476.7 .A1 E453 2011.
How many people did Jesus feed in the desert?
The consensus of Matthew, Mark, John, and Luke is about five thousand the first time, and four thousand the second. (Mt 14.13–21; Lk 9.10–17; Jn 6.1–13; cf. Mk 8.1–10). Check out Oxford Biblical Studies Online for Bible texts and commentaries, and the answers to questions like this. bit.ly/bc-obso
Good luck to me!
Absolutely! The very best of luck to you! The Wall supports you. (Not literally, I hope, but I’m there if you need me.)
YES OR NOT?
I think no.
What does it mean when your teeth fall out in your dreams?
The meaning of dreams has long been a subject of debate. Traditionally, losing teeth in dreams is considered to represent anxiety of some sort (and not necessarily dental). You can find more about interpreting dreams in the stacks in the BF 1091 area, or for more about the neuroscience behind dreaming see: Goodwyn, The neurobiology of the gods : How brain physiology shapes the recurrent imagery of myth and dreams (BF458 .G66 2012).
What is the origin of the graduation ceremony?

Which is the best man hairdresser in Boston?
According to Boston Magazine, Pini Swissa is the best of the best for men’s hair in Boston, although getting your hair done by Pini yourself might be somewhat expensive. Similarly, Sandy Poirier, the owner of Shag Salon, is always in the conversation and regularly wins awards. He, too, might be a bit expensive for a regular cut and wash. Other stylists at both of these slaons (Pini Swissa and Shag) are generally excellent and can be significantly cheaper. Opther good options are Tweed, Sly’s, and Ball and Buck. For more options, check out bit.ly/MensHairBoston.
How do fighter pilots go to the bathroom in flight? Asking for a friend.
They use either “piddle packs” (a bag with a sponge or other dessication device) or an AMXD (Advanced Mission Extended Device). Neither is very pleasant, apparently. See: bit.ly/pilotpiddle. You may also enjoy this twitter feed from a manufacturer: bit.ly/AMXD.
I was expecting Oasis because after all you’re my answerwall :D
LOL. This response made my melamine ripple. The wall spent some time in Camden Town during the 90’s, so our exposure to British music extended beyond those songs that found a home on MTV. Please give our selections a try and ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’.
