Whoah!  It's Thursday again.  Kind of sneaks up on you, doesn't
it.  "Boo!" it says.  "Bet you didn't see me coming."  There's
all kinds of reasons not to like Thursday.  Did you know that
Lincoln, JFK, Gandhi, Arch-duke Ferdinand, and Anwar al-Sadat
were all assassinated on what might have been Thursdays?  Thursday
has been involved in every major land war, famine, and natural
disaster in recorded history.  Thursday has played a key role in 
virtually every modern governmental purge, terror campaign, and 
military coup.  Thursday has been host to almost 15% of all human
death since the beginning of time.  I'm no mad-man conspiracy theorist, 
but come on--I think Thursday has alot to answer for.

But there is a redeeming side of Thursday too.  A side desperately 
fighting to right all the injustices that it's evil half has
committed.  That side includes the blessed occurrence of Thursday
grad tea.  That's right, thanks to the Vision lab, who saw their
way clear to provide funding for you ravenous pack of tea-swilling
hooligans, you will be able to fill your stomachs with tea and, 
potentially, cookies of various make and manufacture.

So get down there (the multi-purpose room) at 4pm, and let Thursday
know that you can find room in your heart to forgive it.  Let
the healing begin.
