If I didn't see it with my own eyes....

...I would never (ever) have believed it.

In the words of the immortal Homer (Simpson, that is), "Woo Hoo!" Congratulations to all of the students, faculty, and staff that made all of this happen. It's an unbelievable achievement and everyone should be very proud.
