It's from a quote (can someone find the thread that explains the quote and its origins?) that basically means that as long as SFT (the tyrant) is in the Dome, we will give him "no quarter"--no place to rest his weary little tyrant head. It became the slogan du jour last spring right before graduation, I believe.
I'm sure someone else can find the exact quote for us...I've got to take the little Truth to school right now!

If you "boil" a penny for 9 seconds in concentrated nitric acid, it will be approximately the size of a dime. (This has about a 10-15% failure rate, but you'll still come out ahead.)

Ram, or truth4usm, or anbody - Do you recall which poster originally used the term "NO QUARTER" on the old message board? I can't seem to be able to retrive that information.

I'm not sure...I know it happened around May of last year...right before graduation. I remember lots of conversations about handing Shelboo a quarter at the grad. ceremonies. Also, there were NO QUARTER buttons that were printed up (I still have mine!). Maybe someone else can remember...

Sorry, but you are as wrong about that as you are about LVN being anti- business.
