You might need to mash the X key a bit to keep punching those nurses. Though there's not a lot to see. Thanks for playing, Diane! You might need to mash the X key a bit to keep punching those nurses.

I am reminded of a story I once heard about a pottery class. The teacher divided the class into two groups. The first group was told they will be graded on quality, the second on quantity. That is, the more pots the second group produced, the better the grade. The first group only got good grades if their pots were really good. In the end it turned out that the second group made the most beautiful pots because they simply made a lot of them and got a lot of practice, while the first group got hung up on making one perfect pot, not practicing the pottering, and therefore never attaining any quality. *this comment part of my new series: How can I make comments longer than blog posts* I think it is more like, something is easier to finish if it is not meant to be good (as opposed to not meant to be bad).
