What the H*nd?! [10.16.08]

Being the middle of October, strange things have been happening more often. Some were planned and others just seemed to happen; either way, it was obvious that Halloween was rapidly approaching. Today was no exception. I entered the lounge during common hour, happily greeted by my fellow 'muters. Moments after I started talking to them, my peripheral vision forced me to notice something in the ceiling. The lounge has a tiled ceiling construction and by the looks of it, there was clearly something wrong. Since I was sitting on the couch, I did not take much notice to it, so I just kept talking. "Okay guys, can I just tell you how boring class was today? I know the professor is old, but really, does he have to breathe like that? And what about the way he THERE'S A HAND IN THE CEILING!" My story instantly halted as I realized with utter horror that I was indeed correct. Of course, that was followed by me shrieking at everyone, asking what a hand was doing in the ceiling...and more importantly, who had put it there. No one talked. All of them shrugged. Alas, my soccer-mom aura locked me out of being in on something.
