I watched someone hang a dozen of these on an Uptown A this morning. Why didn’t I think of this? I can’t decide between this or “Gene for sin is on the X chromosome; therefore, women are evil” as my favorite subway poster.
Great physicists and their blackboards
Pauling’s is my favourite.

What is a Mason?
A Mason is a MAN and a BROTHER whose TRUST is in GOD. He meets you on the LEVEL and acts upon the SQUARE. Truth is his COMPASS and he is ever PLUMB. He has a true GRIP on all that is RITE. He is loyal to his ORDER* and whatever his DEGREE he is MASTER of himself. In the LODGE of Life he wears unstained the white LAMBSKIN of Innocence. From his INITIATION as an ENTERED APPRENTICE he tavels ever EAST toward the LIGHT of WISDOM until he receives the final - the DIVINE PASSWORD that admits him into the INEFFABLE PRESENCE OF THE ETERNAL SUPREME GRAND MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, GOD.

I may be back in Brooklyn, but I brought a little bit of Rochester with me.
AMC might be the only reason I miss having cable.
