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."

The most convincing variation of this that I've heard is that one of the dorms at Trent University was designed without bathrooms. And seriously, to walk down a corridor from one end of the building to another, you went through three bathrooms, because they were in the corridor with swinging doors on each end.

Yep. I made untold Auntie Buys there, but finally had to give up - too many nieces and nephews.

I ate too much lunch and now I want a nap. But it was goooooood.

From Snopes:

The Homer Babbidge Library at the University of Connecticut at Storrs has been plagued with problems since its erection in 1978, suffering from a bulging brick facade and concrete floors sagging under their own weight. Five different contractors worked on those walls, and a common suspicion was that the concrete used in the floor pour had been watered. Engineers and architects blamed the problems on design flaws, substandard materials, and shoddy workmanship; meanwhile, the edifice underwent an $18 million repair project in 1995 to correct its problems.

DX:

However, the library at UConn apparently did have a problem with bricks falling out of it's facade, but that was just bad workmanship.

I was at UConn from 93-96, and the library was the biggest campus joke around. It was under constant construction and covered in scaffolding the entire time I was there.

We believed both the "too heavy with books" theory and the "shitty contractor workmanship" theory.

::snerk:: I opted for just booze, no pot. I couldn't handle a double major.

I love the name "Homer Babbidge Library". Enough so that even without having been there, I'm sorry to hear that it's a piece of shit.

Oh, the happy. Rivka posted a list of UU jokes on Making Light, and some of them I hadn't heard before. My favorite is the last.

UU Bible Study will be held after church today. Please bring your own Bible and a pair of scissors.

Q. What do UUs have in common with Dracula? A. Both originated in Transylvania, and both shy away from the cross.

Q. Have you heard about the new UU evangelists? A. They knock on your door and say, "Would you like to tell me about your religion?"

Q. What do you call the corpse at a Unitarian funeral? A. All dressed up with no place to go.

Q. What happens when you get the UUs really mad at you? A. They show up and burn a question mark on your lawn.

Q. Why do UUs make such lousy congregational singers? A. Everyone is reading ahead to see whether they agree with the next line. (Note: this one is SO true that it hardly qualifies as a joke.)

You can tell you're in a UU church if the only time the minister says "Jesus Christ" is when she spills her coffee.

Chantico would be fine if it had about half the amount of sugar. It's way too sweet.

I love Gatorade. Especially the clear ones.

However, for L&D, I think we're stocking up on Fruitwater, which has various electrolytes, but no sodium. It's also kind of tasty.

Chantico would be fine if it had about half the amount of sugar. It's way too sweet.

This, right here, is why I won't be trying it any time soon. (And yes, I know that most people will respond with, "No it isn't!" but the fact is that if it's too sweet for anyone, it will be too sweet for me.)
