...but ...but... Mozart Balls are delicious.
It's the same reason chocolate is delicious. It is infused with the despair and agony of small children who pick the cocoa through their tears and sweat.

Congratulations, Lord of Elves!
gotta say that normal kugel is better, though matzo ball soup is delicious.

To summarize what I've heard from friends of mine who are alumni, it's basically a giant sleepover for nerds. You live in a dorm room for two weeks or so, and get to go to lectures/workshops/different events held by professors or authors, experts in various fields, and generally hang out.
I have to be vetted by some form of applications process, but the teacher in question told me I was a "perfect candidate" so I'm very excited.

I'm an idiot. I should have been in bed hours ago, instead staying up to play some Shogun 2. :suicide:
Well you only have about 8-9 months to wait. And in the meantime there are hamentashen and latkes. L'chaim!

I'm starting to gain more interest in fresh start NESes; I've mainly enjoyed historical or a-historical NESes because I'm far more familiar with the subject matter, whereas I know very little about prehistory, ancient history, and the general development of civilization. I feel like this is a knowledge gap that should be corrected. Are there any books that my fellow NESers would recommend on the subject matter generally covered in fresh starts?

Related to this, would those of you who are knowledgeable about pre-classical history say that the bronze age collapse represented a systemic failure of societies that might have destroyed civilization altogether, or was it something less than that?

I thought it was because they got a lobby so powerful they can charge thousands of dollars for simple nuts and bolts.
Great stuff really, but my heart will always belong to the tokamak design though.EDIT: Actually I refer you to this, more advanced power source of the future.
