Finding the Truth

Through the Sludge

A Research Report With Love

Welcome Message from Leader:

Leader

Welcome dorks! to a very long, grueling, heart-wrenching, painful,

not particularly too abusive, research report of epically ridiculously
difficult proportions. So you learn stuff and grow as a student. So
you can impress people on dates. So you can be smart in whatever
subject area you decide to select and subsequently impress me with.

Timeline

This, is the timeline. Dig its simplicity. Dig its thoroughness. Dig the fact that I am going to be
a raving lunatic if the dates are not adhered to.
