...Hollywood's Oscar nominees get the nod next year they will pick up the phone and call Zac Posen immediately. I don't know why more celebs don't wear his amazing entrance-makers on the red carpet. The guy knows how to cut a glamorous gown. The gold drop-waisted billowing number at the end of the show was statuette-worthy...
...odorous Chem 135, “Experimental Synthetic Chemistry.” If you ever plan to work in a chemistry lab in the future, or you’d just like to play around with chemicals ranging from curiously dangerous to don’t-you-dare-drop-that dangerous, button up your lab coat. The course mostly consists of a weekly marathon eight-hour lab. There, graduate student TFs patiently guide clumsy undergrads through the ins and outs of stirring, pouring, clamping, filtering, and cannulating (nothing too raunchy, don’t worry).

After that, you’re free to dump it if you’re all paradigmed out, continue...

Some visitors claim to have seen the Mahdi there, and report things he allegedly said to them. More commonly, people write him letters asking for blessing, and drop them down the well (on the male or female side). Caretakers fish the letters out regularly, and burn them nearby. If you happen to be walking through the area, it's common to find half-scorched fragments of letters to the Mahdi in the grass. On the occasion of the Mahdi...
