Their laugh is infectious. To prove this I removed a broken air vent cover in my school and placed a Bluetooth speaker hooked up to a power bank that fed electricity to the speaker so it would not die and replaced the broken vent cover. After that a cult arose and prayed to the vents. this happens at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="730">12:10</a> am at the 23d second. ( all the vents were interconnected so the sounds would reverberate down the vent,I also replace the battery every 67 days )that was 1 year ago and the cult now has 32 people that meet up at lunch every day at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="730">12:10</a> ans the teachers haven’t found the source
