With a colorful canvas thrown atop the Hiebert Library, MBBS welcomed the Dead Authors and Pesky Pests Circus to campus recently. Various animals and authors jockeyed for position to witness displays of strength, agility and flat out freaky weirdness.Rumor has it that inside the big tent Karl Barth could be seen swinging from the trapeze while Friedrich Schleiermacher sold peanuts to the dusty crowd of authors packed into rows on shelves. This reporter, however, can neither verify or denounce said rumors since admission was limited to patron saints of libraries and pests. (Little did the pests know that this circus would be their last...)
St. Theresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross prayed for the sanctity of events within.

True story...
I was walking past the library while it was all covered and gassy with my friend Tucker (we were heading to the gym to pump some iron). For some reason, I started thinking that it would be cool if you could use the tent to create some kind of statis field, in which people were shrunk down to the size of insects, or maybe just a little bit bigger. Then you could give everyone little spears and blowguns or something, and send them in on a bug safari. In a place as big as the library, it would be colossal. Man, it would be epic.
You could charge people, like it was some kind of amusement park. And that's why I think this is a perfect business plan. Because you get to charge your clients for ridding their libraries or homes or what-have-yous of pests, you get to charge your workers for the work that they do, and to top it all off you get to monkey with quantum physics and the mechanics of reality. There's no way this business can fail (except in an explosion that rips the universe apart)!
