"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.
"What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk.
"Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City."
"Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?"
"I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""

That's what Bono said when the U2 show at Houston's Reliant Stadium commenced last year, and that's what the entire Baylor University community should be saying as the men's basketball program begins its title run in earnest at the same Reliant Stadium this weekend.
It's the Sweet 16 and the Bears are in! Even the Baylor ladies' team advanced to the Sweet 16!
It all starts tonight. Sic 'em, Bears!
I knew someone was going to post this! I'm personally not a Baylor-ite, or whatever you call yourselves, BUT, I did have Baylor doing well in my bracket... so I'm still happy. :)
