You'd think a "5th year biology major" would be just a bit smarter.  Just goes to show you the difference between 'book' learning and (un)common sense.  Sheesh! What a moron!

Wow, not a great evening for me to sign on here the first time as an Aggie. I did see students do some really stupid things around the tracks while I was there and that was in the old SP & MP days.  Very sad.
