- the rounds at UCSC. It's very long, and my not be suitable for posting
- on the net because of that. But it's funny, I think.. anyhow, here it is.

- been taking an exam, look up at you angrily. The professor glares

- professor, who looks vaguely familiar, continues to glare. You
- suddenly realize that this is your calculus class, which you have
- not attended in three weeks.
- > sit
- You find an empty desk. The chair squeaks as you seat yourself,
- causing the student next to you to give you a grimace that would

- resources. You suffer a brain embolism.

- trickle from your face and armpits. You begin to stink. The trickle

- > paper

- > east
- You are in a north-south hallway. There is a door to the east.
- > north
- You stumble down the hallway in a northerly direction. Smacking
- into the door at the end and popping it open. You trip over your

- behind you.
- > Tie shoelaces
- You tie your shoelaces into a very tight knot. Your shoes can now
- only be removed by surgery.
