Virginia Tech shooting

When I first saw this, it said, "21 dead." I went to find the link to post it, and the link text was "25 dead." The headline now says "29 dead."

God grant that the number is no higher when you read the article.

It is the deadliest school shooting in United States history.

And the professors there I know, too.

Including the one who gets to teach the spring-quarter engineering weedout class in Norris hall. He's one of my very favorite professors, and if there's one class that becomes the symbol of everything that's frustrating in the freshman engineering curriculum, that's it....

(At least my brother-in-law is safe, but I suspect that's not going to exactly equate to "okay".)
