Numer
of the Day: π
π is an infinite, non-repeating and (likely)
normal decimal. This means that every permutation of numbers pops up in it
eventually. When converted to ASCII text, it contains the story of your life,
from the first time you see sunlight, to the last time you see anything. It contains
the exact time you die. It contains the stories of every human and living
creature to exist and has nice little descriptions of the inanimate objects
too. It contains a string of 1's and 0's that code for a super high resolution
embarassing photo of you at the Christmas party. Every thought ever thunk or that will ever be thought of appears in
π. Who says math isn't one of the humanities?

Quiz:
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my
time down in Orchy,
I'll get used to this eventually,
I know, I know

Shut Down
By: Samantha Schwimmer (DU Guest Writer)
Attention all Bishop’s students, due to an unfortunate disagreement between our ASB we regretfully must shut down our entire student government. This conflict began at a recent ASB meeting where various members of the Middle School ASBC were attempting to gain funding for their upcoming middle school fall dance.
“We feel as though our fellow students are being
robbed the opportunity to eat in EBS much like the Who’s in Whoville were
robbed Christmas in Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” one
member of ASB stated.
As a result of this, all of Bishop’s will be
closed except for the essential programs:
-Most Academic Classes (all tests and quizzes must
be canceled due to this as we can no longer afford paper)
-Administration
-On-Campus Security
-The Nurse’s Office
However, Bishop's will see these following
programs be cut until further notice:
-Lunch Service
-Bus Services
-Sports Games and Practices(on and off campus)
-Performing and Visual Arts programs
-Bish Bowl, Formal, Middle School Dances, Prom
-Clubs
-The Library
-The Bookstore
The ASB apologizes for any inconveniences this may
cause and are hoping to reopen the government as soon as possible.
Shave-oritism
By Matt Healey (DU Royalty)
Imagine this: Betty Bishops is
walking down the hall and a teacher approaches her. The teacher gets closer and
examines her legs. He tells Betty that she needs to shave and that her fuzzy
legs just earned her a Uniform Violation. Betty runs away crying.
This situation is obviously wrong, and borderline
inappropriate. It clearly will damage the girl’s self-esteem and her idea of
what an acceptable body image is. I don’t think any Bishop’s teacher would
condone giving a UV for hairy legs.
Therefore, why is it acceptable that Bobby Bishops can get a
Uniform Violation for his facial hair? Plenty of people
say that beards are gross or unprofessional. Well the same can be said about
women’s leg hair. Plus, if a girl wants to conceal her unshaven legs, she can
wear tights or khakis. Guys have no such option to get away with their facial
hair.
It’s definitely just as hard, if not harder for a guy to
shave his neck, chin, jaw and ‘stache as it is for a girl to shave her legs
between the bottom of her skirt and the top of her socks.
So why does Bishop’s promote spending an extra fifteen
minutes in the morning on appearances. I thought we were here to learn, not
look pretty. And what looks more learned and philosophical than a student
gazing out the window while stroking his beard, pondering life’s existential
mysteries, like how the senior lunch line can be longer than the normal lunch
line?
Too long have men been oppressed and valued only for their
pretty unshaven faces. I’m standing up for all mankind.
