These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info.

[Sigh. He shakes his head.]

I told you already -- zhose are not bricks. Zhey are books. I can say "books" in a different language if you do not understand zhis one.

But how could they be books? None of them were about guns, haircuts, guns and haircuts, grillin', BBQ, Sun Tzu, or how to spine out a man's spine and beat him with it! Everyone knows those are the only REAL books around! All the others are just Canadian Propaganda designed to sell us Maple Syrup.
