Happy Cinco de Mayo

Got to work this morning and the fountain out in front of the Library is glowing green and orange in the morning sun. Looks like a big rectangular pool of Gatorade or melted margarita, with a green spout in the middle. I think the kids put anti-freeze in it. It's weirdly beautiful, but I think they should have found a way to put big salt rocks around the rim. This is a new trick - they usually put suds in it during finals.

In order to fully celebrate this glorious foreign holiday, I offer a scientific article one of our industrious students pointed out to me. It carries the evocative title:

Amoebas may vomit E. coli on your greens

The connection to Cinco de Mayo?

Um . . . limes kill protozoa, so drink up?

Yips! from Robbo:

Enjoy!
