Like any interesting rumor bite, this account is only halfway true. Lowell House’s present dining hall design, complete with chandeliers, was indeed intended for Eliot House, while the dark-paneled wood design of Eliot dining hall was meant for Lowell. Once someone figured out that Eliot’s south-facing dining area got good natural light, the design plans were switched, and Eliot’s chandeliers went to Lowell. But was it the natural light in Eliot that made the difference, or the heavy hand of then-University President A. Lawrence Lowell, Class...
BEST DIRTY LAUNDRY internalmemos.com This latest project from Philip Kaplan, the man who brought us the profanely named rumor mill F_____dCompany.com bills itself as the Internet's largest collection of corporate memos and other internal communications. A great idea, simply executed--so long as you can bypass the dull stuff and ferret out the juicy tidbits (like a list of 467 employee salaries at Terra Lycos).

The rumor was true: Rosenfeld died at Auschwitz in 1944, leaving this extraordinary testimonial. A singular contribution to the literature and history of the Shoah...
This sort of hands-on anarchy is perhaps the closest thing Gomez have to a “signature sound.” They have always self-produced their albums, a fact which Gray says has contributed to their independence of record company whims and standards. Rumor has it that the sessions for Liquid Skin saw them singing through toilet rolls as well as underwater, while the album take of “Get Miles” is the second time they ever attempted the song, after the first take had to be abandoned when a microphone fell...
