Start with Pyotr Potemkin and end up at Minor Shoulder-knot

Ha! Contributing to the delinquency (or at least bad study habits) of (former) minors (aka personal minions). Mwahahahaha...
Wow. It's amazing that students can use the Uni library for procrastination purposes even after they've graduated and left town! (But nerdy procrastination, so it's OK...)
