S.U. Changing the Past
Today's Daily Orange has this headline:
SU hopes to alter past vs. Rutgers
I thought for a moment that Dean Newton had commissioned the physics department to invent a time machine to prevent John Hawthorne, Ted Sider, and Dean Zimmerman from going to Rutgers. Alas, it was just a lacrosse article, and it doesn't even involve changing the past, just having a future that's not like the recent past in one important respect. I knew the D.O. to be an awful paper, but I didn't know their headlines were so bad that they might mistakenly refer to an ordinary occurrence as a metaphysically problematic concept.

I suspect that one can hope for impossibilities. When I was a kid I hoped I'd find a way to trisect an angle. Of course, disappointment is inevitable.
