Am I the only one here who has had the privilege of taking a math/science course that required work be done on engineering paper? I would go to the college bookstore a couple times a semester and pick up a wad of this stuff, do my work and hand it in. Usually, it would return looking like my GPA had waged a bloody, unsuccessful campaign on its pages. For some reason though, I still look back with fondness.

You see, it wasn't just graph paper. Your standard graphing paper had a white background and blue lines. Not only did the engineering paper have special places for your name, course name, instructor, and last will and testament, it was also a joy to behold in its pale green background and bright green lines. These always made me feel like I was calculating the angles of artillery trajectories necessary to overwhelm the Enemy Base, but usually Train A made it to Chicago well before Train B, without the help of either Harrison Ford or his physics-enthused sidekick.

When I saw Paul wearing The Shirt this morning, all those feelings came flooding back. Thanks for the memories.
