Good news, students. This week everyone gets to take home an entire case of breakfast cereal.
Now the bad news; they’re all store brand (the name brand stuff is going in the teacher’s lounge).
Enjoy your Fruit Rings, Coco Poofs and Apple Smacks!

“He dwells only on broad impressions of vast angles and stone surfaces—surfaces too great to belong to any thing right or proper for this earth, and impious with horrible images and hieroglyphs. I mention his talk about angles because it suggests something Wilcox had told me of his awful dreams. He had said that the geometry of the dream-place he saw was abnormal, non-Euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours.”

The sound is very nice… a soft thfff-thfff-thfff-thfff as opposed to the clickety-clack of plastic dominos, a vaguely, disturbing insectoid sound.

It’s worse than that.

Oh man, I remember that. XYZZY!
Queer Geometry and Higher Dimensions by Daniel M. Look - St. Lawrence University [18pg PDF]
…All is chance, accident, and ephemeral illusion ‐ a fly may be greater than Arcturus, and Durfee Hill may surpass Mount Everest ‐ assuming them to be removed from the present planet and differently environed in the continuum of space-time… All the cosmos is a jest, and fit to be treated only as a jest, and one thing is as true as another.
– HP Lovecraft, from a 1923 letter to James F. Morton
Wooden and tile dominos sound much better; the former moreso 'n the latter.
