In other news today, Satan lost a bet with Robert Hayden. Robert bet the
archdemon his soul against the freezing of hell that he could get a 4.0
for Winter Quarter.

The successful Hayden was quoted as saying "I can't fucking believe it!"
Beelzebub was unavailable for comment, although sources close to the
horny one hint that Satan is very depressed.

Hayden's miraculous recovery from a downwardly spirialing GPA was helped
by a nine-credit independent study on computer management where he
administrated four mailing lists related so a graphic and violent
Role-Playing game known as ShadowRun. In addition, a story, known as
ShadowTalk, was created by 150 people on one of these lists.
Encompassing several hundred characters and over 2200 pages, ShadowTalk
can best be described as "a really bad cyber-soap opera".

Experts expect that the frozen tundra of Hell will thaw itself out in the
next few days.

In the meantime, when asked what he planned to do next, Hayden was quoted
as saying "I'm going to DisneyLand!"

Well, Mr. Hayden, congratulations!
I wish I could get mine up to a 4.0. I couldn't even do that in
high school. (They classified me as a gifted underachiever.) Too boring.
I think that is just wonderful that they let you do that as a
project for your school.
Best of Luck for Trying It Again,
Striper

I'm gflad to see that I am not the only "gifted" (well, define gifted)
underachiever. My GPA hasn't been the best. Ok, down right BAD. But all
of my test scores say that that should not be. Don't you get sick of
people telling you that you are a smart kid. EEERRR!
