Lawrence Hall Of Science @ 9:45 PMAtop the Berkeley Hills sits Lawrence Hall of Science, whose parking lot, as many know, might have one of the finest views of the entire bay (and apparently a great date area at night). On a clear day, the horizon visibly stretches as far out as Alcatraz, the Golden Gate bridge, and beyond. If Alice in Wonderland had a museum, it would probably closely resemble the childlike yet beyond comprehensible style of this hall. Sure, kids could freely wander about, through Animal Grossology and Water Works, but "elders" can also lose themselves quite easily in the whimsical details and displays.
After visiting, I have come to the conclusion that my very own professors (and researchers, staff, etc) probably created Lawrence Hall of Science for their own enjoyment. I think (strongly) that they have found the answer, the secret of life- transforming themselves into kids at night and on weekends, while putting on the facade of professors and intellects during weekdays. They might probably even be the kids you see running around the parking lot and playing with exhibits in Lawrence Hall of Science. So the next time they talk about their "kids," they probably mean playmates.
