Among the spinoffs of the Fox housing proposal (for God's sake, don't stop reading now, there's a joke in the next clause of this sentence)--aside from the accidental relocation of the entire Harvard Square vixen population to North Cambridge by a well-lubricated Buildings and Grounds workman who misunderstood his foreman's instructions--is the Strange Brew Coffeehouse, which opened last Sunday night on the fourth floor of Hilles library...
