SMC - Some Minor Confusion

Mugging at smc recently has thrown up some interesting and confusing thingies:

1. Dummy Bell


I can't figure out why the library would want to spend good money to install a dummy bell, unless it's for those dummy fire alarms that they seemed to have ever so often (like once a week) last year when the thing would go off for minutes on end before finally being switched off, only to be followed by an announcement accrediting the false alarm to some technical fault - think if and when an actual fire comes, no one would actually heed it...

2. Who was raising the raisins?


That small yellow box you see on that whatever-you-call-it is a box of raisins that inexplicably found its way up there, which is virtually impossible unless someone threw it up from below since the only windows above this thingy are sealed shut and so no one can throw anything from them... Just found that rather intriguing...

3. The bizarre xerox-crazy girl

Ok not very nice to secretly take a picture of her to post here, so needless to say, in the two weeks or so that i've been hanging at the rear of smc, right by the copiers, i (and others) have noticed the same girl appear everyday to zap books (and i mean books) worth of newspaper clippings for some strange reason. She must spend at least three or more (today it was six) hours a day doing this, and i really can't figure out why. I'm tempted to ask, but think i'd better not eh - she might hit me with one of her stacks of papers...
