OOOOHHHHH!  Pass the gas!  Matches!

First, the bus push is a fund raising effort for charity.  Sort of a walkathon
for people with a difference.

Secondly,  the Waterloo engineering department (faculty and staff) are
definately not in favour of some of the &))(&&*() stunts the so called
students pull.   There is an exception,  but he is well known to be a brain
rotted turnip.

Lastly,  I seem to recall some incidents that some Purdue students pulled a
couple of years ago that almost led to criminal charges being laid.
I will investigate these,  and publish them on the net if you desire.

I will quote a favourite motto of my father:
"Before you point a finger, make sure you are not in front of a mirror!"
