Wow, Jonah, I sure am sorry to hear about your Experience on Good Friday the thirteenth.

You guys did know that Chaos Theory finals are always held on Friday the thirteenth so as to keep the other 'Norms' unaware of the presence of the school, didn't you? The faculty does that so that if anything truly unexplainable happens, the uninitiated will attribute it to the strangeness to the day, and not to the possibility that there is something beyond the powers of observation going on up on the campus of Psychiatric High School.

Now that I have established a reason for poor Jonah's accident, let me disestablish it:

I was in the cafeteria when Jonah tripped the light fantastically with the leapin' lepus leg. There probably would have been no problem for our terpsechoreanistic triskaidecaphile had he chosen some other time for his dance of doom. Unfortunately it was exactly 1:13 P M when Jonah put his foot down. Now do you know what happens around a campus of psychic, superstitious teenagers on Good Friday the Thirteenth at 13:13, military time? There was so much salt flying over the left shoulders of the fearful of the student body that it looked foggy in dining area, and I thank heaven that for once, the lunchroom staff didn't add to the problem by serving 'Boo Stew.' Jonah did well to retain his balance at all. I was amazed that he stumbled about for so long while his debacle was in progress. When the cracks appeared in the floor around him, it was apparent to everybody the end was approaching. I think his spastic thrashing immediately after the incident probably swept the remaining table salt into the cracks in the floor and into Jonah's wounds, with the expected results.

It just shows to go you what can happen when you give numbers the meaning of good or evil. I prefer to believe that thirteen is a mystical number, and leave it at that without attaching either a positive or a negative to it, unless asked to do so in maths class.


W.M.

Jonah would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of sympathy concerning his accident last night. He is currently in traction in room number 13 at the infirmary, and the nurse says she expects him to fully recover in a few weeks (with only a few months of physical therapy).

The physical plant staff is still investigating as to why the area around the cracks in the lunchroom floor were so slippery. And contrary to rumor Jonah wasn't bending down to pick up his own rabbit's foot - he had purchased it just for the occaision and was stomping on it when the unfortunate accident occurred.

Again, Jonah says thanks to everybody, and you can send him more candy and flowers c/o the infirmary.

Still looking for 2 more members to get us to 13 for our Thirteen Club meeting. Meet us under the ladder in the lunchroom - and bring an umbrella and if possible a black cat. Mirrors will be provided.
