mu

"Mu" is the correct answer to the classic trick question "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?". Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer "yes" is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but "no" is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually "mu", a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions".

Hackers tend to be sensitive to logical inadequacies in language, and many have adopted this suggestion with enthusiasm. The word "mu" is actually from Chinese, meaning "nothing"; it is used in mainstream Japanese in that sense, but native speakers do not recognise the Discordian question-denying use.


Thanks to Thrakem for the source of this definition.

Joshu retorted, "Mu!"

Kappa Tau Mu

Kappa Tau Mu (KTM) is one of the seven secret societies established at Boston College. The society was founded in the fall of 1908, the founders were never revealed. It was formally established to enhance the promotion of spirit throughout the campus. The underground society flourished in the early 1980’s, but slowly died out due to their harsh hazing methods. Gradually Kappa Tau Mu began to reappear in the campuses of Virginia Tech, The University of South Carolina, Penn State University, and The University of California at Santa Barbara. Increasingly, the society is emerging at other campuses, all over the United States. Their colors, purple, black, and orange officially represented the revolution of the university. They leave their droppings throughout campuses and are said to be very lucky. Although not much is known, Kappa Tau Mu is continuing to prosper throughout the college grounds, keeping the pride and tradition alive.

Colors:
Purple-Pride
Black-honor
Orange- Providence

Founded: 1908
