When all that’s left of brain break are cookie crumbs and stale bread, when Noch’s has closed its doors for the night, when one just can’t stomach those oily 7/11 sausages, and when a cup-o-noodles just won’t get the job done, the hungry Harvardian might be driven to the very precipice of despair. Until he realizes his salvation: that bastion of the burrito, king of the quesadilla, and redeemer of the ravenous undergraduate. Yes, the one and only Felipe’s. Unfortunately, it seems that...
...BUCKETS, BIGGER BELLIES A Cornell University study shows that big portion sizes make even unappetizing food disappear. Moviegoers served large tubs of two-week-old popcorn ate 34% more than did people served the same stale popcorn in medium-size containers. The moviegoers seemed unaware that the tubs made a difference: 77% said they would have eaten as much no matter how big the container...

...like when West creepily whispers, “While you’re watching, WATCH HIM,” or when he acutely points out that you can’t smoke weed if you don’t have cash, but on the whole, the track quickly grows stale. Luckily, the video is a different story. Hype Williams, known for his work on the film “Belly,” (which runs like an exceedingly long music video), really captures Kanye’s overstated elegance. Pin-up girls and West’s violent gyrations careen...
