Researchers at U of T’s Faculty of Engineering are finalizing plans to construct what they hope will be the most powerful wind tunnel ever constructed. The wind tunnel is to be installed at Old Osgoode hall just in time for the Baby Gale moot between U of T and Osgoode 1Ls, a location that was specifically chosen after months of careful analysis.
“We need a strong, consistent source of pure wind and hot air to conduct our stress tests,” said project lead Dr. Sarah Taylor. “Our analysis has confirmed that a bunch of hopeful future litigators stumbling through oral submissions based on their shallow understanding of some upper year’s factum will provide the required supply of pure wind needed to properly test suspension bridges, skyscrapers, and major dams.” The project website indicates that the 1L moot was carefully chosen over sites like your small group, and the general area around your fucking friend Jake from Vancouver whenever he says pretty much anything about ‘the coast.’
Sources close to the project expressed significant optimism about the usefulness of the tunnel. “If a building can stand firm while being subjected to the volume of pure wind coming out of a 1L discussing what they sort of think the Oakes test is, it can withstand any force of nature or act of God,” an anonymous tester said.
