This past week was spring break here (Univ of Hawaii), but I spent the first half translating Beowulf, and the second half trying to figure out a presentation I'm giving next week (and still working on it, trying to balance out the information). I know a lot of students who don't like it when an exam is based solely or primarily on text info that the professor never mentioned in class. (I don't know whether that helps you at all, though.)

I haven't seen either movie, but based on the commercials, my big question for Knowing is, how the heck do they figure out that the numbers on that paper relate to disasters. How do they know 12135 is 121 and 35 rather than 12 and 135 or some other combination? If I knew they had a good answer to that, I might watch it to find out.
