If you write 'thank you' in quotes, does anybody hear it?

A big "thank you" to nicole for her contributions to the S 1/2 rules. However, I'd like to challenge Nicole to riddle me this: How many lepers does it take to raise a family?

Let a gift horse fall where she may.

ZONKER HARRIS DAY

From the highly reputable source, wikipedia:

Wesleyan University students hold an unofficial yearly event in April called Zonker Harris Day, celebrating psychedelic music and culture, with the Doonesbury character as a mascot. In early 2008, the new Wesleyan University president, Michael Roth, declared Zonker Harris Day to be "stupid", and the Residential Life office officially opposed its "hippie-druggie" image. Funding for the event was banned pending a new title. After prolonged disagreement, students renamed the event "Ze Who Shall Not Be Named Day". With a new name, the former Zonker Harris Day was held as usual on April 19, 2008. The students continue to protest what they view to be unnecessary and irrelevant censorship, while the administration toes the line that Zonker Harris Day gives the University a poor image.

Here is MGMT performing "This Must Be the Place" by (the) TALKING HEADS at Wesleyan University in 2003 on Zonker Harris Day.
