Here’s what the MIT Hacks gallery has to say:
During the night prior to the release of the heavily advertised Halo 3 video game, MIT hackers transformed the statue of John Harvard into the Master Chief character from the game. In the game, the character’s real name is known only as John. John was wearing the signature helmet from the game and was also holding a gun from the game. The hack was removed by around 8am.
The “Chuck Norris Facts” jokes as applied to computer security guru Bruce Schneier were funny, but geeks, being rather flighty creatures, have moved on. The new hotness is “Paul Graham Facts”, and if you can think of a good one about the Lisp hacker turned venture capitalist (or want to kiss some ass for Y Combinator funding), you can submit it.
My favourite Paul Graham Facts so far:
Via the LiveJournal “scans_daily” community, here’s the “slashiest page ever to appear in a children’s storybook that does not star Bert and Ernie”:
Here’s the text:
Without Superman realizing it, Batman stuck a small Bat-transmitter on Superman’s cape. The device sent out a signal, and the Caped Crusader followed it to Clark Kent’s apartment. Superman was just getting ready for bed when he looked out the window and saw that Batman had sicovered his secret. Now the two of them had to trust each other.
Robin’s not going to like this.
Well, tomorrow’s the big night — the second annual bowling tournament where Atlanta-area Furries take on Atlanta-area Klingons takes place at Midtown Bowl (1936 Piedmont Cir NE, Atlanta, Georgia). A hearty Qa’pla! and Meow! to all who are attending!
Someone set up a poll at Poll Boutique where you can vote for your favourite team. As of this writing, the Furries and Klingons are dead even, each with 50% of the vote.
In honour of this weekend’s event, I would like to share the most appropriate music in my collection for this event: the ever-lovin’
Star Trek Fight Music [1.8MB MP3]. Enjoy!
Don’t you hate discovering an interesting party just after you’ve confirmed your plans for the weekend?

This Saturday, the MurrFurr Furries will take on the USS Republic Klingons in their second annual bowling competition at Midtown Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia. Attendees are encouraged to come in their suits, whether furry or Klingon.
If only this were available on pay-per-view…
In response to my post on the film Sorting Out Sorting, I’ve already received three email suggestions that someone hold a movie night for geeks where we watch the film and “smoke a bowl“, as the expression goes.
Should anyone decide to hold such a movie night, may I suggest this bong, made from the shell of a Nintendo 64 controller?
