Men of Science

Maybe it was a deep thirst for knowledge, or it might have been our burning desire to improve our individual performances in events foreign to us; events like the discus, the high-jump, and the shot-put. Or it could have been all the free time that we had our freshman year...

The debate rages on as to "why", but one thing is for sure - we were undoubtedly:

"Men of Science."

When a formula was needed to determine the future "cankleage" of a potential mate - it was a DRD athlete who devised the "axiom of transitive female maternity"

When it was asked of him to sacrifice his roommate's hard-earned pumpkin to confirm the law of gravity - it was a DRD athlete who sacrificed.

and then when it was demanded of him to confirm that law again (this time with an emaciated pine tree & a stolen disco-ball) a DRD athlete answered the call...

When the world asked "what might become of a cherry tomato, traveling at 53 mph in a crowded cafeteria when impacting the head of girl from a distance of 70 feet?" - a DRD athlete, with the help of a psychotic pretty-boy made it happen...

and when it was suggested that the 'speed of sound' was nothing when juxtaposed with the speed of a Pakistani being chased by a Great Dane through the forests of south central Virginia - it was no less than 4 DRD athletes who heard the boom!


Without a doubt these were men of science...
