WikiCU

I'll keep this short, because I should be writing that UWriting paper I talked about on Tuesday night. Anyhow, I started editing articles on WikiCU and I realized just how much I did not know about Columbia. I also realized just how much I've come to understand the Columbia sense of humor. One article about tunnel exploration captures this quite well:


At the same time, maintenance workers do have to keep the place running, and they sometimes don't appreciate bewildered liberal arts majors wandering into their workplace. This is understandable, as liberal arts majors don't belong anywhere near a workplace of any kind. If a janitor, technician, or other worker spots you in the tunnels, he may care and he may not. It's best just to avoid this situation. Many tunnelers have gone years without bumping into a single worker.

Beyond the obvious quip about liberal arts majors being useless, there is also an underlying attack on maintenance workers, especially the lack of them on campus. Oh Columbia!
