Art Gallery Trip a Sucess!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Art Gallery trip yesterday evening. We had a great showing, a lot of laughs and maybe even learned a thing or two.

There are a number of things that were learned on our trip, which those of you who missed it may find interesting:

1. The Art Gallery leaves food unattended in random places, and then gets REALLY mad if you take some. Really mad. Really.

2. Judging by the size of the mummies, ancient Egyptians were really small. If one were so inclined, you could travel back in time, start some kind of Egyptian Ultimate Fighting competition and totally clean-up.

3. Mummy-puns are always necessary and warranted. Always.


Thanks again to those who participated! To those of you who missed out - don't fret, Respublica will be having more cool events throughout this term, and the next, so stay tuned!
