An Exciting Cinco de Mayo

   Today was Cinco de Mayo. Or so I'm told. I'll show YOU mayo in the sink! I spent this day here in my lair, with one adventure to campus for the MUN and Court meeting. I have THREE midterms tomorrow.
   In MUN we allegedly had a run-off for USG of PR so we had to vote again for that position.. but there were MORE candidates this time than there were initially?! MUN is crazy. I want to find the MUN constitution.


History Lesson of the Day brought to you by Wikipedia.com!
   "Edmund [King of England] was murdered in 946 by Leofa, an exiled thief. He had been having a party in Pucklechurch, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. After the outlaw refused to leave, the king and his advisors fought Leofa. Edmund and Leofa were both killed. He was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955.
"

   Maybe I'm weird but I am amused by the idea that there once was a time when the ruler of England could get killed trying to break up a party. And that it took place in a location called Pucklechurch just makes it that much funnier.
