Making Mechanical Cards Like It's The Mid-Nineteenth Century All Over Again

I was trying to remember the three-finger rule and then it hit me.  Dark matter!  Of course, that's what it is and how to explain it to our simple species.

And why Danielle explained:

"If you purchase 4 classes at once the current series going on will be the only classes that apply for it. So if you miss a class we are not going to make it up for you in another series. If you are 'owed' any classes we will honor them during this 4 weeks but after that if you miss any classes you will need to purchase a new series to come back later.

"My best suggestion for you is if you are not positive you can come all 4 weeks then purchase the classes individually.

"If you would like to register ahead of time for a full series you can do so at http://school.alabamayouthballet.org/payments/ and be sure to include in the space provided that it's for swing classes and what level that you will be taking."

As the Great Teacher says, "The easiest explanations are the hardest to formulate.  Take a deep breath and start talkin'.  If you can't get it all out at once, it ain't worth explainin'.  And if that don't work, beat 'em over the head with a rubber chicken.  It works every time."


Don't depend on the dual-brain/symmetry metaphor when it's just a consequence of local evolutionary happenchance.  It's the spin, or the lack thereof, that makes the real difference.

Meanwhile, security levels are at their highest as intelligence sources warn that roving bands of antimatter have permeated the area.  If your loved one disappears out of thin air, report to the authorities immediately!  And students, teachers have been warned - you can't use this as an excuse for not turning in your homework!
