Your chicken...it's working!

And...I am annoyed with my Java Class. In order to complete an assignment I had to spend 2 hours finding what was wanted, possibly exposing my computer to malware. :P Thanks, class, thanks. *Is running a strong Antivirus scan*

To hear me rant like a half true but mostly rant-y person, click the Spoiler.

I am also beginning to think the academic world is more about keeping knowledge from others than about the pursuit of knowledge. (Some of the things I've found recently have been really near-inaccessible when they should not have been. Heron had a piece on both Greek War Machines and on Light...but access to them is consistently either unknown or restricted. Also, I've yet to find much on Da Vinci beyond another person's analysis or biography (and those aren't cheap). :P)

I feel a bit like an idiot, now. A large portion of Leonardo da Vinci's Works are now available.
