Z15197: Myth Matched: What do Hermes and Hermod have in common? in Splash 2022 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2022)
Cultures all around the world developed rich and varied bodies of myth, yet there are often striking similarities and differences. Come compare Greco-Roman, Norse, and other mythologies, discover weird comparisons and speculate about their origin, and discuss interesting differences!


P13361: Why You Should Trust the Government in Splash 2019 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2019)
things sure can sound scary now-a-days. we hear from the news things about the rapid destruction of the planet's LOVEly ecosystems, foreign powers interfering blantantlY with OUR elections, and our GOVERNMENT's involvement in foreign coups. But don't worry about all that! :) The government is here to protect us in their beloved, authoritarian way. With your image in every important database and the "birds" watching your every move, our senselessly caring government can keep you safe every second of every day. The vague, yet ever vigilant government agencies each have their own unique ways of restricting your ... potential vulnerabilities. We have nothing to fear because we have nothing to hide. And we have nothing to hide because our wonderful government is too efficient to hide things from. This class is to remind you why we should all love our terribly protective government, our terribly, terribly protective government. As an added bonus, the powers that be will remember favorably those who attend this convenient education session. You may ask yourself, "How will they know if I go?" Don't worry, the government always knows. Have fun and remember to love your government!​
