Everyday, posters are posted on the walls of the MC and many of you probably pass by them without glancing at what is on them. This means that I belong to the weird minority — the people who actually stare at the walls. Normally, the postings are as uninteresting as the tiles on the C+D floor, but lately some of the postings on the walls have drawn my attention.
The guy who draws the comic strip for Imprint has recently published a comic series (I think it's only long enough for a volume, but I've been wrong before). I caught a page of the comic in a 3rd floor alley, and at the side of the page the author wrote the location of the next page. So I had to walk all the way across the campus the see the next page. There I read that page and it led me to another corner of the campus. After a few pages, I forgot why I was following a comic when I didn't start at page 1 and I stopped.
I think the creator of the comic was trying to give everyone on campus, regardless of where they are, a chance to see his work. Of course, he might have another motive for scattering the pages all over campus, besides letting everyone see his work. He might have scattered the pages so that we can get off the chair (be it a lab, a classroom, or a Comfy couch) and force us to do a little exercise. If this is true, this is indeed a nefarious plan. Luring us to exercise in the guise of reading comics. Then again, many of us may benefit from that.
Okay, maybe I pay too much attention to the walls, or I just have too much time to dilly around. I think I have wasted enough of your time, so I'll stop here.
