Exam Time!

The Hypo will be on hiatus this week, and we haul our sorry carcasses through exams. We’ll be back in full force on May 7th after we’ve driven a stake through the heart of Contracts, and the hangover has worn off. A few thoughts for you to consider in our absence:

You could not put together a more hillarious combination of words if you tried.
