German School of Re-Design
From Plastic Tub
Anti-Thesis
The faculty was reknowned and included everything from industrial designers to choreographers. Juan Castillo (Professor of Dance), for example, was roundly applauded for his intricate use of the goose-step in the Tango. His cohort Pedro Wiggins introduced the Nazi salute into the dance. Though many will deny the true origins, their moves can be found in milongas over the world to this day.
Although many of the School's projects were doomed to failure from the start (such as the notorious re-invention of the wheel campaign of 1953), other projects have had a profound on such deverse technologies as those involving spaceflight, nuclear weaponry, the manufacture of sausages and inline roller skates. On a more whimsical note, the School's introduction of the cube-shaped egg was enormousmy successful until public opinion turned against the concept after it was realized how much suffering this caused the chickens.
Today the School's 27-acre campus outside of San Juan bristles with life as nearly 3000 students carry out cutting edge research in over 30 disciplines. It is a fully accredited learning institution. In addition to its central educational mission, the School has small but well-regarded programs for the arts and music, sports and jungle exploration.
Hermenuetics High
The school was not without its darkside. During the years after WWII many of the professors and students engaged in many concerted acts of rebellion. The School's rigorous modern curriculum still held tightly to the major attitudes of the Third Reich, especially concerning the visual arts and experimental and/or electronic music. The students subverted the system by holding clandestine symposiums in the underground bunkers beneath the jungle. In the boiler rooms beneath the campus they arranged artshows for the mentally challenged, the illiterate, the retarted.
Mystery Date
These events were often highlighted by Dionysian frenzies stimulated by electronic tones (arranged in primitive intervals) and the premier South American hallucinagen Ayahuasca. Over time, the participants fractioned out into smaller factions. In the beginning the rebellions were liberating and transcendent but soon became marred by transgressive violence and quickly shifted to its decadent stages. Although many of the factions disbanded after the South American Adventures Of 1948 there are rumors about a certain faction that fled the school for the jungle where they began their transformation back to the primitive.
