Which would you choose?

WIN.

Neither one has done me any good.

You didn't show the orthogonal sign that says "imaginary people."

Off the axes, they're complex people.

Hm. I guess it's obvious that I choose calculus.

[nonelvis]

Yes, I think it is obvious, now that you mention it.

I've always leaned toward the left...

LMAO. I hope that the real people sign is pointed in the direction of my office!!

[nonelvis]

Sorry, it's pointed toward Sloan. Which, now that I think about it, can't possibly be right. Real people? At Sloan?

[profrobert.livejournal.com]

I interpreted it as pointing to E51, home of Course XVII, the realest department there is.

[nonelvis]

That *would* make more sense than Sloan ...

LJ Friends?

Hiya. I've read one of your fics and you seem pretty cool/interesting/I really need more Who friends/I love david tennant too/I think MIT is bizarrely entertaining. LJ Friends?

Re: LJ Friends?

Thank you! Feel free to friend me, though it might take a little while before I friend you back -- I'm more cautious about adding new friends than I used to be, so I'd like to take some time to get to know you first.

I saw this during Mystery Hunt but didn't get a picture of it because my phone camera has been malfunctioning. Thanks for unknowingly taking one on my behalf. (^_^)

I just wish my shot were more in focus! It looked fine on the iPhone at the time, but I guess I didn't notice the slight fuzziness, given how dark it was outside.

That is awesome, but is it supposed to be non-funny? What other meanings does "Real People" have around there?

[nonelvis]

"Real People" has no special meaning on campus that I know of. I'm assuming the signage really is doing what it says on the tin: all math/science/engineering takes place in buildings to the left, while the management, economics, and poli sci departments are all to the right. Of course, as a humanities major, I'm a bit offended that the hackers forgot that my department is to the left, not the right, but everyone forgets that MIT has humanities majors.

Nice choice of icon, btw.
