philosophy should be restricted to discussion...

i was leaning way back in my chair just now. it's one of the chairs at one of the cubicles in the library. i just kept leaning back more and more and more, until i had my feet up on the desk part where my elbows usually rest.

suddenly the little feet on the legs of the chair slipped straight forward. to make a short story long, i instantly realized i was falling and there was nothing i could do about it except maybe prevent my head from smashing against the wall behind me, but before i could react, i was crumpled on the floor like a dirty t-shirt in the hamper.

as soon as i collected myself and sat back down, i noticed my elbow burned. i looked an saw a perfectly circular scrape. "that's a perfectly circular scrape." i thought. "i wonder how that happened." then i realized, "that's about the same size as my buttons on my coat on the back of my chair."

check - clear

check - clear

check - there it was.

i had pinned one my buttons to the linoleum with my elbow and sure enough, some of my skin tissue remained under the fingernails of my button as evidence.

i felt a little bit like the star character on my own version of the popular show "csi: wwu"
