Headlines
The William and Mary Anime Society (WMATLASTITSOVER) will be meeting this week, as usual at 7:00 pm on Friday in Tyler 336. This will be our last meeting of the semester, and our last meeting in the the crappy, crappy Tyler room. Next semester we will be returning to Blair. So come one, come all for our last official gathering of the year. There will be fun, anime, and possibly even food.
T-Shirt contest:
Just as an annoying reminder which will appear here consistently until it is no longer relevant: The deadline for entries for the T-Shirt contest is February first (2/1/02).
Entry format: Each entry should consist of a written idea for what picture is going to look like. Include as detailed information as possible. Also provide a rough sample sketch of your entree, and an item of your previous work.

Trivial questions
Last Week's Questions:
Poll Question: What cosplay would you do if you could hypnotize yourself into it?
Naked Raiden... in a box.
Easy Question: To those of you who have played Metal Gear Solid 2, or at least seen it, why is Konami so much meaner to Raiden than they are to Snake? (To those of you who haven't played it, Snake is the quintessence of rough manliness, whereas Raiden is a white haired pretty boy who, towards the end of the game, ends up running around completely naked except for his dog tags and whatever he can cup in his hand.)
It was necessary to advance the plot they intended, and to develop the game characters more fully. Plus slipping on bird shit is really funny.
Hard Question: Distortion fields, ancient alien artifacts, and Vash's morphing hand-gun. What would Hume say?
Hume was an 18th century Scottish philosopher who advocated strict empirical observation. I believe he would have said "What sort of Christian magic is this?"
This week's Questions:
And you thought that Anime Club was just fun and games. Well you were wrong. Here is the end of semester Final Exam. This will count for 45 percent of your final grade, rendering the four papers, the 11 pop quizzes and the two midterms useless.
