CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.

The clock faces are ten minutes in disgreement in this temporal anomaly documented by Wake Forest's 1991 yearbook. We tend to blame the toilet paper for causing a disturbance in the fabric of space/time. Mark Anderson has asked, "Is architecture toilet paper or timeless art?" The clock faces seem to answer that question: timeless.
"Light is weightless, and yet it is so real that it provides the yardstick for measuring the universe" (George Seielstad, 1962). From Duke's 1969 yearbook.
