...found an extracurricular club. The only problem is, the last time I checked the number of clubs at Harvard, I got a figure so big it had to be expressed in scientific notation. In order to be original, I started a club called “Collectors of Potato Chips that are Shaped Like Things.” I encourage everyone to join. We meet Thursday nights at 9:00 p.m. by the vending machines in Loker. Last week’s meeting was a great success. We found a chip shaped like a really large amoeba, and another chip...
