Greetings and welcome back to The Un-Zone, the site for everything related to Un. It's time for an update.

Green Hall can feel like a jungle sometimes, and it's not related to the tactics that students use to get a high GPA. I'm talking about the temperature. Some classrooms during the warm months can feel like a jungle. It gets crazy sometimes. Like it being 85 degrees outside and it being 85 degrees inside. Well, it could be worse. Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories managed to produce gases with a temperature of nearly 3.6 billion degrees. Then again, if you paid this much every year, you would expect the HVAC system to work a little more consistently.

And something a little more creative. Really cool sidewalk art. Though I have to admit that some pictures do not show up sometimes for some reason.

Easter Island, home of the stone heads, might have been settled later than thought. This implies that the settlers messed up the place in a shorter amount of time according to this article. Not that we can learn anything useful from this...

The comic strip Dilbert pokes fun of corporate America and the ubiquitous feature found in nearly every office building, the cubicle. The inventor of the original cubicle, designed something more functional and much better looking than the current design. He now regrets it. You can thank Steelcase, Knoll, and Haworth for turning the cubicle, a smartly designed office space into the edifices they are today.

Wow, as a person living in the state of Kansas, a state that keeps changing its science standard every time there is a State School Board election, South Carolina doesn't bow down to the Intelligent Design or Creationist forces. It kept its science standards (promoting evolution) the same. If only Kansas would learn this lesson.


That's all for now.
