The result was Bizarre adventure. The AfD is being closed many years later, because it was never properly closed back then, because it was never visible, because it was never transcluded on any of the daily logpages. Technically, it has still been open this whole time.

Februtosus is an annual celebration held during the last week of February at the University of Notre Dame. Currently in its fifth year of existence, it was founded with the aim to "celebrate the coming of March." Various theme-related activities are held on each night of the week and the festival culminates in a large party on the first Saturday of the new month. While each night's activites are subject to change, certain themes have remained throughout its history, such as "Margarita Monday" and "Boxed-Wine Wednesday."
Traditional Events of the Week
- The Draft: To kick off the festivities, willing participants assemble on the last Sunday in February to determine teams for Friday's Case Race. A short, often impromptu skit is performed for entertainment purposes and typically involves a humorous song. Following this, those wishing to enter the Case Race submit his or her name to the organizers. Teams are then decided by a random draw of the names, with four co-ed participants per team. Once established, nicknames and odds are assigned to each team based on group consensus, and are usually of a humorous and completely irrelevant nature.
- Margariata Monday: The first official party of the week, the night aims to serve as a tropical respite from the cold Indiana winter. In the past, a few attendees have been known to don Hawaiian shirts and other tropical garb.
- Choose-Your-Booze Tuesday: Notably the least organized event of the week, individuals are responsible for supplying their own beverages for the night. The night was replaced in the most recent Februtosus by Mardi Gras Tuesday.
- Mardi Gras Tuesday: New to the festivities in 2006, the night was a result of its falling on Fat Tuesday, the culmination of the annual New Orleans festival.
- Boxed-Wine Wednesday (BWW): A staple of the week, participants dress to impress and consume massive amounts of Franzia boxed wine.
- Thunderdome Thursday:
- The Case Race:
- The Party:
