[Wiki] thorndike

[Daniel Mckenna-Foster]

That's a classic example of the man trying to bring you down.  In my 
eyes, the wiki is a place where the knowledge and wisdom of so many 
collective years of living in this place can be passed on in a more 
accessible manner.  The propped door is, in my eyes one of the most 
useful articles we could have.  I'm for relabeling it as "funny things 
students used to do" or something lame like that.  But how to do that if 
Ms. Thorndike asks you to remove it completely?
