The following is a reproduction of some of the more interesting bits of graffiti scrawled on a particular carrel in Santa Clara University’s Orradre Library:

“I study here because I am afraid of people.”

“I study here because I hate the world.”

“I study here because I have to or I can’t play!”

“SCANTRON NOFX!”

“I shit on ignorance.”

“People who write on stuff give me something to read. Thanx.”

“This wood grain pattern effectively simulates the radio wave intensity pattern of the universe.” (written in response) “My Ass.”
