Opossum on the Loose

So while making a detour through Exley late last night, I was greeted by this specimen of a certain North American marsupial:
The opossum nonchalantly stepped through a door left ajar and made a beeline for ST Lab, where it gained the attention of all five people in there late on a Friday night while it crawled under tables and sniffed around curiously. Finding nothing, it walked back out and headed toward the elevators - by which point everyone with a cell phone camera was following closely and trying to corner it at risk of getting rabies or something.

A small crowd had assembled by now and was growing kind of attached to it, but eventually a P-Safe officer showed up and led it back outside to wander the rainy night:

Gag Reflex Show!

Mary Lauran Hall '10 brings us science! Sort of:

Researchers at the American University in Cairo recently published a study in which it was found that humans aged 18-25 experienced drastically improved study skills (heightened concentration, increased brain activity, especially acute memory) for up to seven days when exposed to moderate to high levels of long-form improvisational comedy. Researchers determined that the study group with the most benefits had witnessed long-form type improvisational comedy in an environment with two elevators and a marble floor and then experienced prolonged exposure to short-form improvisational comedy (also known in some English vernacular as "improv").

Clearly, in order to improve performance during exam time, everyone should come to the GAG REFLEX READING WEEK SHOW TONIGHT, at 8 PM, in the SCIENCE CENTER LOBBY. The person who is most fucked with work to do wins a bottle of Southern Comfort!

Date: Tuesday, Dec. 11 (Also known as tonight!)
Time: 8:00 PM
Location: Science Center Lobby
