• "After three tries, most password programs give you a hint." Funny, most password programs I've ever seen after three tries LOCK YOU OUT!
• Senior math majors take multivariable calculus. (I took it first semester of sophomore year, and I was far from the most advanced student in my cohort.)
• Seniors who have not completed multivariable calculus are given research grants by the Department of Defense.
• Random number generator programs increase your odds of winning the lottery.
