Dragon Day

liz — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 03:39:29 +0000

Dragon Day, a tradition which began in 1901, is celebrated at Cornell each year on the day before Spring Break. It involves the Architecture students dressing up in costumes and parading around campus with a massive dragon, created by the Architecture freshmen. A more recent tradition involves the Engineering students building a phoenix, a knight, or another such similar combatant to chase the dragon to the Arts Quad where it is set on fire and burned."]" data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,513,[null,0],null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,0]">Dragon Day, a tradition which began in 1901, is celebrated at Cornell each year on the day before spring break.

var lines = new Array

YTMND might not understand this one (at least until you've clicked that link). The title, \"var lines = new Array,\" is the code used to generate the recursive text that the site is partially known for. Coincidentally, the font that YTMND routinely uses is Verdana, which actually happens to be my favorite font, and therefore is the font used on the-lawn.net. Also, this comic was published on the same day that I had a typography assignment due for one of my classes."]" data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,513,[null,0],null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,0]">Credit to Dan

Take A Number

My friend Christine came up with the idea for this strip. When she sees freshmen walking around in “Class of” shirts, it reminds her of birds with little metal tags on their ankles, because they’ve been labeled and numbered. Freshman year is when we all receive our student ID numbers, thus making us more like numbered birds in some kind of greater experiment.
