Finals Week

This was a funny (-sad) picture right outside the new Science and Engineering Building at the prestigious George Washington University today. 

It looks much like a noose and is lit up by the glass and modern finishes of this new building. 

So a colleague says jokingly to me “Is that because of [the stress of] finals week?”

Now execution and suicide are definitely not a laughing matter…

But what a juxtaposition of this gorgeous new building going up and the old time hangman’s noose (almost) hanging down. 😉
