Absolutely! The very best of luck to you! The Wall supports you. (Not literally, I hope, but I’m there if you need me.)
Good luck to 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?
Graduation ceremonies date back to 12th century Europe; for a summary of how various parts of the ceremony originated, see bit.ly/gradhist.
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’.
Lebron or Harden for the MVP?
Harden leads the league in points, is 3rd in assists, and has led the Rockets to a first place overall playoff berth. Which is not to say LeBron has played poorly – the Cavs had some personnel issues in the middle of the season and LeBron led them through that like the legend that he is (one can also argue that he’s responsible for those issues, but that’s another post-it). Harden has been solid all season long, and his stats are better than LeBron’s across the board. Which is important because consistency is critical for an MVP and Harden has just shown that more than LeBron this season. Also, anyone who can dance like Harden (bit.ly/HardenDance) deserves the MVP.
Quando iniziera’ a far caldo?
Soon, it will come. I am predicting my harbinger of Spring – no, not the red robin, but the flap-tic, flap-tic flap-tic sound in the library lobby as soon as the students swap out their boots for flip flops, to come tomorrow, if anyone is still around, or else as soon as Easter Break is through.
Why are off campus landlords allowed to overcharge fro poor living conditions and stand by as we are robbed? It’s like they are robbing us in two different ways.
It’s unconscionable, but it’s what the market will bear. However, you do have rights, and you should fight for what you need. The Mass Attorney General’s Office has some useful info for student renters: bit.ly/StudentRenterHelp. Also, check the BC help: offcampushousing.bc.edu/resource.
Why do we keep getting Nor’easters when I try to fly home?
According to this article (bit.ly/NoNoNoreasters), meteorologist Elliot Abrams says it’s due to a blocking pattern up North and the temperature differences between Canada and the Southeast US right now, rather than due to your flight bookings. Actually, he didn’t mention if your flight plans were a factor. I hope you get to get home soon!
Will the vending machines downstairs ever work?
How frustrating. One of my helpers assures me she uses them all too often, and they usually work. She does think it is unnerving that a coffee machine is occasionally down for “updates” – that’s a little too futuristic! The machines are tended to frequently, but If you ever lose money, call 800-696-1188 for a cash refund, or go to bit.ly/EagleRefund if you used your Eagle Card. Snack on!
What are next weeks lottery numbers?
I’m almost certain they will all be somewhere in the range of 1-69 for Powerball and 1-70 for Mega Millions. This video might have some hints about winning lotteries: bit.ly/how-i-won-the-lottery. Or it might just provide a practical philosophy for creative work.
Will Lia ever return to his true form? -Certainly
Well, I don’t know Lia but I would argue that Lia’s current form is his true form.
Why do we put the $ sign before the amount?
Tradition, it seems. Many European countries place the euro sign (€) after the number. One interesting theory is that it follows from British usage for the pound (£) from the pre-decimal era of pounds/shillings/pence, when amounts were written with slashes, e.g. £ 3/5/6, or “three pounds, 5 shillings, sixpence.” It was understood that £ referred to the whole assembly of numbers denoting a system of currency, not just a qualifier of the first number. Interesting side note: the word “dollar” derives from Low German “taler,” short for “Joachimstaler,” the name of a coin from the silver mines of that name, once in Bohemia, now a town in the Czech Republic; it was adopted in the US because it was the British English word for the Spanish Peso, a common currency in the colonies at the time of the Revolution. bit.ly/whence-dollar

Why isn’t Spring break longer?
Doesn’t it seem short? Sigh. But there is so much learning to be done before the end of the semester. I’m committed to staying here after mid-May, but you probably have other things to do then, so extending the semester to get a longer Spring Break wouldn’t be a great idea.
Do I have Bikini body yet?
Yes. The concept that one needs a perfect body (whatever that is) to wear a swimsuit baffles me, but then again, I don’t fret the clothing issue much. Wear what pleases you! How do you like mine?
How do you draw a pony?
Not well. I’m a wall! But if you google, you will find there are many sites on the internet that will guide you in creating your diminutive equine artwork – caution that some are NSFW (or S)! Or, you could head to the Education Resource Center in Campion, where they have several books on drawing animals (for kids, but why let that stop you) in the NC600-900 call number ranges. But I can’t promise you a pony…
What do you think about Italians?
Italians invented the word “graffiti,” so as a wall, I’m a little mixed. Then again, they also were expert practitioners of “sgraffito,” an artistic close cousin of graffiti with well-known practitioners from the workshop of the artist Raphael. Here’s an example from Firenze: bit.ly/sgraffito-firenze. They knew how to treat a wall! I hear the food is also good, and the music. And did you see the Italian Olympic skating team? What a good-natured bunch, full of camaraderie!
