[edit] You know you're a CAT kid when...

• Simple FCAT calculators confuse you.
• Your computer() = your lover;
• You get your graphing calculator stolen.
• You get your backpack "turtled" (turned inside out)
• You don't know what 420 is. You don't get the nitty gritty
• You use gaff tape to make rope to tie your hair with, or duct tape for shoes
• You use a USB extension as a necessary accessory
• Your theme song is "White and Nerdy" by Weird Al (even if you're not white)
• You know that there are 10 types of people in this world... those who understand binary, and those who don't.
• You got caught playing Line-rider
  • You caught the kids playing Line-rider.
• All your friends are as nerdy as you

I'll move this list to the Center for Advanced Technologies's Talk page soon. Dragix 22:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

You mean duct tape right? I've never heard of anyone doing anything with gaff tape. People make lots of stuff with duct tape though. as far as the rest of them goes... I made out with my monitor while making a music video of I Love My Computer for a school project so #1. is correct. My calculator was indeed stolen sometime freshman year. I have no idea what 420 or "nitty gritty" are. Most of my friends are taking calc so they all have graphing calculators as well. And although I don't have a USB bracelet, I do have some RAM on my keychain. So other than the whole gaff tape thing, your list is correct.Ziiv 03:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Edited the list a bit... Perhaps the gaff tape refers to the only kind of tape used in CATCOM? We don't go for the cheaper scotch tape, never, we always use $20 gaff. Though I can't say that I've been THAT intimate with my computer. What was the end to the lightblub joke? I know it had something to do with Heatwave... Dragix 02:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

or duct tape for shoes lolololucas corson?

USB extension as a necessary accessory michael scherer? You got caught playing Line-rider everybody but me? --Lakerdonald 02:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the vast majority of the CAT underclassmen (Class of '09-'10) haven't even heard of linerider- but they do have their OWN computer-related mass violations (Alotta em got busted last year). These things will always be a part of places like CAT and MIT, whether it's something as stupid as gaming, to cheating, to hacking... It's probably why Zulli was OK with a such a big networking team: the most 1337 h4x0rs of CAT would do better as network admins than as hacking pranksters. Dragix 23:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Added the one entry that got the List started. Someone had written "You failed the FCAT because you didn't know how to use a standard calculator" on the CAT page. Realized it's not so much fiction as a joke that'd belong on this list. So the Unwritten List becomes written. I honestly believe that... if Wikipedia wasn't overrun by prudes, this list should be on the WikiArticle for Center for Advanced Technologies. Dragix 23:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
