I flooded a dormitory once, but I blame building maintenance for tricking me into it.

I wake up and head to the bathroom. Turn on the shower, nothing happens. Try the sink, still no water. No advance notice to the residents, but the water must have been shut off for some reason. I have a class to go to, so I turn everything “off”, get dressed, and leave. I’d forgotten that one of the sink knobs was threaded the opposite way from the standard convention, so that one was full on when the water was restored. Came back to the dorm after lunch and realized exactly what I’d done as soon as I entered the hallway and saw the maintenance man running his shop-vac outside my room. It overflowed the sink drain, and the bathroom floor drain, flowed through the dorm room, and was in the process of flooding the hallway.

I’m not at all sure it even is murder, even if she deliberately withheld medical care. I’ve seen advance directives from people who would refuse care in similar circumstances, and it’s not a crime for a wife to honor such a wish. Maybe you could get her on lying to the police about it, or for a lesser crime of medical neglect, but not murder.

If you really want it to be a prosecutable murder, find her fingerprints on a bottle of the virus she poisoned him with. Take a blood sample to test for antiviral treatments she took to prevent accidently infecting herself. Maybe find her impatient boyfriend who didn’t want to wait for a divorce.

I think I could do fairly well with any place I’d frequently been in, and with enough autonomy to get disoriented and reoriented. Some of the houses I’ve lived in are not much more architecturally elaborate than a shotgun shack, but I could also do my elementary school, most of a middle school, two college dormitories, and most of a university library.

It’s my favorite opening move in Wordle like games. Screw you vowel lovers with your AUDIOs and OUTIEs.

He’s dead.

The college I graduated from required a year of foreign language for graduation – actually take it and pass, not just test out of it.

OK, that’s not quite true. For some reason, the mathematics department was grouped with the languages for purposes of this requirement, so you could take a year of calculus in lieu of a foreign language if you preferred.

Unless you were a math major. Classes in your major didn’t count, so all math majors absolutely had to take a foreign language.

Unless you were a dual major like math-physics. Dual majors could apply classes from both majors towards distribution requirements. I knew several “math” majors who took just enough physics classes to qualify as a dual major for the express purpose of not having to study a language.
