bats.

i could make the joke about going batty during finals. but i think it's too easy. so instead i'll just say this about austin's favorite winged mammals: if you touch one, and you fall ill, then look at it as nature's way of enforcing natural selection in a time of unnatural survival.

law students are not .... the best of people during the run-up to finals.

finals bring out the worst in us. the petty, snarling, resource-grubbing, moody beasts that thomas hobbes envisioned us to be.

i love hobbes. both of them. i find his philosophy to more or less justify a substantive lack of trust in people, and that sounds so much better than just saying, "people suck."

'cause, you know, that's dicta.
