It seems my whiteboard eraser guy is back...

Hi All,

Ok so all of last year we had a guy who erased our whiteboard all last year and was really annoying.
He's back.
I'm tempted to try using a sharpie, since I know how to get it off a regular whiteboard.
That said, this whiteboard can be difficult to fully erase sometimes and I am hesitant to put ink on it that might not come off.

I am also considering writing it in election ink. That ink is water soluble and will come off the whiteboard, but not his/her hand (at least for 2 weeks until new skin grows), effectively catching him "black handed". Election ink is used in many countries to mark the fact that voted and prevent fraud.
The difficulty would be getting my hands on some. The other answer might be to attempt to find some silver nitrate and dilute it to ~18%, and mix it with water soluble ink, but that is likely difficult to do without staining my own hands.

Throw me ideas in what you think would be an interesting solution.

Other ideas I've thought of include: Singing Birthday Cards (seems overpriced for the effectiveness), pen cameras (WAAAAY too expensive but guaranteed to work).

If I could find out who was erasing the whiteboard, I could mess with him for the rest of the year... Oh such sweet satisfaction.

In other news, Quizbowl is back in full swing, HFS is refusing to fix my internet for some reason, and the weather sucks.

Back in 403.

Hi All,
I said I would try to keep this updated. So here's post one.
I'm back in 403 McCarty and it looks exactly the same as last year.
Oh and the internet of course isn't working on half the room. (This is the same thing I filed a work order to get fixed last year... they fixed it... now its broken again... Karma sucks.)

Class doesn't start for a week, so in the meantime its get settled in and do Quizbowl.

Same Room & Crappy Internet Connection,
