My coworkers are lamenting that I will be leaving at the end of July to go back to school and are (jokingly) trying to convince me that I want to stay. Here is an excerpt from my coworker's email to me the other day:

Don’t you know the saying,

Those who cant,

Teach

Those who cant teach teach Gym

Those who cant teach Gym spend endless hours explaining esoteric mathematical theorems to people who in the end are really only pretending to understand and are actually thinking about what they are going to have for dinner.

Fun with Lazorz

I discovered a fun puzzle thanks to puzzlinks.com: http://www.gamingdelight.com/games/laserlogic.php

Each round has a grid with some lasers and targets of various colors, and you have some mirrors, prisms, and filters at your disposal. The goal is to hit each target with the right color(s) of light. I'm currently on puzzle 16, and it's starting to get very interesting. Highly recommended!
