[hc-students-broadcast] Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Eclipse Safety (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ)
Friends:
It has come to my attention that the majority of you have IGNORED my painstakingly “crafted” Inclement Weather Warnings (IWWs), leading to a 7% uptick in completely preventable weather accidents (CPWAs). I hope, however, that the small but mighty population of intelligent students will heed my warnings (Ws):
- Do NOT look directly at the eclipse without proper eye protection.
- Honestly, I’d advise against it even with eye protection. Don’t go blind now, Friends!
- Under no circumstances should you go to Bryn Mawr College (BM College).
- Remember, the eclipse will only be at 90% totality over Haverford College. Don’t get your hopes up!
- Earplugs are recommended to drown out The Howling.
- AwooooooooO!!!!!
- Please report any unusual activity to Campus Safety immediately (610-896-1111).
- Blood of the Lamb will be provided.
- Hey, don’t these bullet points kinda look like little eclipses? Yes they do!
- Give each other space, as the effects of the eclipse on the human body are not entirely known. (Also, be Covid Conscious!)
- You need not fear the Night, but what it holds 👻.
- If you see Wendy Raymond in The Stacks, avert your eyes and turn away slowly. Things are not as they seem.
Take a W this Monday, and good luck out there!
See you soon.
Lil
