My roommate, who works in a library, commented that Rob actually knows how to stack books the right way, and also push them on the carrier also correctly -- I think he even had Amber walking in front of him, to clear the sidewalk. Does anybody know what he's done for a living, we were speculating that he's worked for Casey & Hayes or Gentle Giant, two of the better moving companies here in Boston.

He reminds me very much of the guys from Good Will Hunting.

"this dorm was designed after the '60s to make it harder for students to occupy/protest."

I'd heard this about many buildings on the U of M campus, and the only one I ever thought it might be true about was that one Admin building over on Maynard and Thompson... The one with the really narrow rectangular windows.

"this dorm was designed by a guy who used to design prisons"

My California cousins asked if my grammar school was a prison. I could see where they might have that impression, with the concrete and no windows.... Especially compared to their schools.

How 'bout the, "this dorm was designed by a guy who used to design prisons" and "this dorm was designed after the '60s to make it harder for students to occupy/protest."

Ha! Our library was built so that the load bearing columns can only support books in certain areas, with the shelves only configured in the way they were originally designed.

Another was that the person who design the Life Sciences Centre committed suicide shortly after.

Also, we have a student residence with a pool in the penthouse that has never been filled because the engineers allegedly forgot to factor in the weight of water in the building load.

Dalhousie? Full of crappy buildings!

I don't like cold. Therefore, it will not be cold any later than the 20th. Denver only has until the 18th.

Lee, is 60 degrees Not!Cold enough? That might be as good as it's going to get. Pack a sweater or two.

If DD were David Duchovny, I might be able to get over my East Coast aversion.

This. Mmmm...David Duchovny.

He said he worked in construction, and that's how he knew how to stack things.

I heard this about the University of Waterloo.

NU's library claims the same thing.

It didn't really bother me, because I'm sorry, what were they upset about?

He paid the guard to lie to them. I think that's worth getting upset about. It may be a naive reaction, but I don't think it's a surprising or unworthy one.

He used to work in construction. (Currently, they're living off their Survivor winnings.)

This auditorium was a test-run for the Lincoln Center (true) and the moron architect didn't design the roof to cope with snow runoff, even though the building is in New Hampshire (also true) and he forgot to put in a greenroom, even though the building is the performing-arts center (also also true).

According to Snopes, it's a standard collegiate legend, [link] . However, the library at UConn apparently did have a problem with bricks falling out of it's facade, but that was just bad workmanship.
