Holy sh**! That's exactly what I did. I thought people might think I
was weird, but I didn't care. I think Cisco is going to have to order a
little less food from now on. Too weird.

This is really weird, but on the day I passed (mon
5/3) I did not eat lunch either, and all I had was
Mountain Dew. While everyone else was eating, I just
drank the mountain dew and read the names on the "wall
of pain"
Weird eh???
