FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 6, 2006

Howe & Ser Moving Company has completed its latest job: moving a Spanish-American War cannon (Fleming Cannon) from the pits of Pasadena, CA to sunny Cambridge, MA. The cannon arrived with one addition: a giant Brass Rat, the X class ring. In the past, the cannon graced the front yard of Y and took a brief vacation to Harvey Mudd. However, Howe & Ser Moving Co. has yet to be contracted to move the cannon back to Y, suggesting it has taken up long-term residence at X.

Howe & Ser Moving Co. is an accomplished national moving firm known for its excellent customer service. It has been described as, "assertive, low-key, and really willing to go the extra 3,000 miles to ensure a bang-up job."

There is a widely held belief that no two X are alike. Strictly speaking, it is extremely unlikely for any two macroscopic objects in the universe to

contain an identical molecular structure; but there are, nonetheless, no known scientific laws that prevent it. In a more pragmatic sense, it's

more likely—albeit not much more—that two X are virtually identical if their environments were similar enough, either because they grew

very near one another, or simply by chance. The American Meteorological Society has reported that matching X were discovered in Wisconsin in 1988 by Nancy Knight. The crystals were not X in the

usual sense but rather hollow hexagonal prisms.

X is "the study of, or belief in, the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by such

means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits

(negative X) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive X)."As a social movement X reached its height of popularity in the early

decades of the 20th century. By the end of World War II X had been largely abandoned, Though current trends in genetics have

raised questions amongst critical academics concerning parallels between pre-war attitudes about X and current

"utilitarian" and social darwinistic theories. At its pre-war zenith, the movement often pursued pseudoscientific notions of racial

supremacy and purity.

percussion and a stringed instrument. According to the Hornbostel-Sachs method of music

In Greek mythology they were female spirits, they were dressed in white, decked with garlands of flowers, but they frequently had unnatural legs, like those of a goat, donkey or cow. They were so beautiful that the highest compliment was to compare some feature of a woman (eyes, hair, etc.) with that of nereid. They could move swiftly and invisibly, ride through the air and slip

through small holes. Although not immortal, their lives exceeded a human's tenfold, and they retained their beauty until death.

They tended to frequent areas distant from humans, but could be encountered by lone travellers outside the village, where their

music might be heard, and the traveller could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool, either during the noon

heat or in the middle of the night. They might appear in a whirlwind. Such encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the

unfortunate human.
