Oklahoma on Alert After Receiving 'Odd' Flier

March 10, 2008 RSS Feed Print

A threatening flier posted around the University of Oklahoma has caught the attention of school officials, who are now "taking proper measures" in response, the Oklahoma Daily reports. The "odd" flier is titled "The day the university stood still" and reads:

"On April 21, 2008, all operations at OU Norman will cease. As of this date, the free university known as Happy Nihilist University will begin. Anyone who wants to learn at HNU, will. And all at no charge. Knowledge is power? It will be. OUPD cannot stop us. Mr. [OU President David] Boren is impotent. He will fail. The media can say whatever they like. They too will fail.

"Amor fati!"

Well, it's all very cryptic....but they do have a lot of foreign exchange students. It doesn't hurt to be alert.
