And the winners are…
Spring 2004 Pretty Putrid Prose winner:
"The elucidation of the moral importance of the mental element in responsibility,
and the moral odium of strict liability, that I have indicated must not be mistaken
for a psychological theory of motivation."
—Hart, Legal Responsibility and Excuses (50)

Spring 2004 Eichmann's Evil Cake winner:
"Reversible processes actually do not occur in nature. They are merely
idealizations of actual processes. . . . In daily life, the concepts of Mr. Right and
Ms. Right are also idealizations, just like the concept of a reversible (perfect)
process. People who insist on finding Mr. or Ms. Right to settle down are bound
to remain Mr. or Ms. Single for the rest of their lives. The possibility of finding
the perfect prospective mate is no higher than the possibility of finding the perfect
(reversible) process. Likewise, a person who insists on perfection in friends is
bound to have no friends."
