BT Harold Tribute: Encounter across the "Age Divide"

High School students stunned, Scientists seem more distanced

In a recent encounter across the "age divide", the UBT's leading robotics scientists were on display and visited by a group of BT high school students, curious to learn about the habits of victims to prolonged exposure to Computing Science.



After an initial phase of mutual mistrust and silence, the group gradually warmed to the idea of interacting with the elder individuals of what one day may become their own species.



"We were totally stunned by the professional way of these robo guys to actually display colorful and moving pictures on what seemed to be a late-20th-century cathod ray youtube," said a speaker of the young individuals.

"Them dudes can make pictures walk!", another one was overheard to say.

The UBT's leading robotics scientists, however, were less excited and fell into a catatonic state of motionlessness while being on display, only to awaken when called upon to perform some tricks of their own. Sources believe this can be linked to a highly unusual period of sensory and drug deprivation, intended to keep up "a good image" towards the outsiders.

BT Harold Tribute: Terrible Findings

Terrible Findings inside Scientist's Head

A sneaking suspicion turned ugly reality last week when one UBT's leading top robotics scientist's head was examined for trauma caused by prolonged exposition to colleagues' influence.



Upon closer inspection of what initially promised to be the light at the end of the tunnel, the terrible finding of a turned-rogue meme sneakily lurking atop a neuron star showed up.

Understandably, the top scientist asked not to be identified. As a responsible news provider, we are happy to oblige.

BOOOM

Yesterday was the final, grand day for two of our colleagues, who thus became ex-colleagues.



The first defense went without any major hiccups, but the second was overshadowed from the start by what turned out to become the most severe thunderBOOOMstorm in BT in a long time. "Dear audience, we're here to attend the final PhD thesis defense of Mr BOOOM BANG."

After something like five minutes, we had to have a timeout, as it was impossible to hear a word from Mr BOOOM BANG. The wind was so fierce it created vortices which blew up the huge raindrops in front of the window, suspending them in mid-air before they vanished back into the whirling deluge coming down upon BT.

Although damage is widespread, it seems it concentrated in places, as evidenced by the narrow path behind my apartment building, rendering it impassable:
