Webmail fun fact
If you've been paying attention, you've noticed that, err, both my hamster and now Wesleying have facebook accounts in the Wesleyan University network.
"But good madam!," I hear you cry. "How can this be possible?! It is against the 2nd law of thermodynamics to join a college network without a .edu e-mail address*!"
The key: You technically have not one, not two, but three webmail accounts.
Say your name is Lepidosiren Paradoxa. Your webmail addresses are**:
- lparadoxa@wesleyan.edu
- lparadoxa@mail.wesleyan.edu
- Lepidosiren.Paradoxa@wesleyan.edu
(Oh, and--Don't bother trying to create an account with a name that includes the words "Hamster" or "Squirrel." It won't let you. I've already tried.)
*I'm failing Physics, shut up.
**I don't know how this works with e-mail addresses that include middle initials or numbers at the end, but if anyone can figure it out--Do tell us.

I have a middle initial in my email address, but First.Last@wesleyan.edu still gets to me, and First.MiddleInitial.Last@wesleyan.edu does not.
I would like to confirm the data of anonymous poster # 1 :o)
