Way to start the morning...overhearing a conversation about area 51

I'd just shake my head and move on if it had been just a group of students...
but oh, no, 2 of our instructors have to be involved to and say (and I quote) "well...there's what goes on there and what the TELL us goes on there.  I"m sure they're not the same thing"

Mathematicians.
I think I should bring them all in aluminum foil hats tomorrow.

    You're surprised that mathmeticians are scifi geeks?

    it's not the sci fi that worries me so much as the paranoia.

    There's a lot of it around here. 

    I swear that one of them implied the hallway (and his office) was bugged last week.
    (I know, academics are eccentric...but, honestly, we're not 'high class' enough to hire real eccentrics.  ours are just a touch crazy)

    REALLY OLD SPOILER ALERT

    Maybe one of them will go all A Beautiful Mind on you and turn out to have imaginary friends.

    Well, the one drove over an hour to get here a few Saturdays ago to steal food from an event I was running...

    but that's just being a cheap bastard methinks.
    (he's also the one who watched a room get trashed and tried to send home my help at fixing it because 'that's the custodian's job'--nevermind that 1-we'd already been grieved by the custodians for improper notice of trashing rooms and 2-that the custodian wouldn't be working again until 10 minutes before the room was needed on monday)

    well, that part is true.
    Of course, we're in the craphole, there's arsenic and lead in the water too probably.
    Or maybe that's just the paranoia talking --it's been almost a year since our last boil-water-warning.  :-P

    Baconsmom to military father: So, dad, ever been inside Area 51?

    Dad: No, I don't have that kind of clearance.

    BM: So it does exist!

    Dad:...I never said that.
