	Actually, the practice of spray-painting "SID LIVES" on large
cylindrical objects was originated by a fraternity brother of mine (who's name
is Sid, and is also not on the net) at MIT. It began the night he discovered 
that he had been asked by the school not to come back ever again, since he had 
passed only a total of 2 classes his freshman year (0 first semester, 2 second
semester). He and some others of us got drunk and went on a "graffiti spree"
on the Harvard Bridge, which was (and still is) full of traffic control
barrels to close off the outer 2 lanes so that the bridge doesn't collapse.
From there, it naturally spread to the suburbs of Boston, and other areas.

	You may think this explanation is probably too "normal" (subjective 
term) for net.bizarre, but believe me, if you knew this guy, you would agree
that this explanation belongs here.

What are you saying?
That I'm redundant?
That I repeat myself?
That I keep saying the same thing
over and over?
