      If you are on this website, you’ve most likely heard the story of how I accidentally broke a window of Fondren Library at Rice University on the Halloween run of Baker 13. For those who don’t about Baker 13, it is a long standing tradition of Baker College—a full explanation of which can be found ...

      There are few things more exhilirating than being outdoors while naked. This is one of the purposes of Baker 13. Sorry, we're not naked, we're wearing cream! Shaving cream, that is.

      Chuck Oates Strange. I dunno, Sherry. The incident is apparently for real. Here's the write-up from the Rice student newspaper, The Thresher (a.k.a.: The Trasher in some derisive comments by Rice-ies of my era): http://www.ricethresher.org/baker-13-runner-breaks-library-window-1.2682492#.TsTk0T0r27s .

      The links are working for me at 4:50 a.m. Thursday. Are they still un-openable for you?

      Chuck Oates Ah, the joys of being 18 or 19 and stupid--long on academic smarts, but pretty short on judgement and wisdom, I'd guess. (18 and stupid? Is that redundant?) :^)
