Well, we visited the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The drive is so long that the visible light spectrum actually breaks down. If you could stand on your house and look at those fancy little badgers from a telescope, they would appear to be only red, as the other color frequencies would have dissipated through the immense difference in space and time. On the other hand, of course, red is their school color. I think they picked that to symbolize how fucking long of a drive it is to their school, because even if you live a mile away from the campus, it's still probably a three-hour drive. Nice school, though.
In other college news, I began looking at the essay questions for the University of Chicago application, and they are fairly interesting. I'm a little confused as to wether you have to do all of the essays, or just pick one. If it's the former, then for the "make your own" essay, I plan to write several pages on the intricacies of Futurama. It seems as though I would be perfect for the University of Chicago, but so far they have made it seem easy for me... Perhaps... Too easy... There's probably going to be a trap door or a wall that shoots poison darts when I go in for my interview.
Moving on, I have discovered an enigmatic question, one that has vexed mankind for millennia: All scholars and scientists agree, like the Earth, the internet is flat. But, what is the end of the internet like? Perhaps it is great convergence of all the tubes, producing one final tube, where a waterfall of internet fluids cascades out a massive opening into the infinite abyss of eternal nothingness. Perhaps it is a 4Chan page. Who knows?
However, there is one thing we can be certain about. A man would have to be daft to sail such a distance. Indeed, that we can be sure of.
