Readers, you really need to stop misbehaving. First you pretended to be Amy Gutmann and now one of you stole some squirrel sculptures because we said they were ugly. That's two strikes, guys! Things were better when you were just electing the officials we told you to vote for. There is nothing funny about fraud or theft. Well, except for this one thing: one of you has a room full of those squirrel sculptures.

Science is all around us, guys. What makes a classy lady so classy? Think up a hypothesis and test it! How does texting work? Nobody knows, but you can run a couple experiments and find out. The point is: science is fasci(ence)nating.

It's about time Lupe Fiasco and historian Howard Zinn joined forces. Lupe and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels are going to be reading speeches featured in the new History Channel documentary, The People Speak, tonight at Irvine. You will probably want to be there.

Guys, stop emailing us with questions about what next year's academic theme is going to be. It's not that we didn't want to tell you - we just didn't know. But now we do. Penn has decided that next year's academic theme is going to be...everybody drum on your thighs for a minute...water!

Stop wiping your eyes. That is not the real button. Its placement next to the Tampons and that circle of chairs in front of a picture of a lecture hall might suggest that this is a photo of the real world, but it's actually part of this game called Second Life. Normally, this would not be news, but this week it is maybe the most important thing in the world. Let us explain after the jump.

This has been a big week for our libraries. First they started a sweet texting service and now one of them is in a big, fancy newspaper. Michael J. Lewis (who is neither this guy nor that guy) loves Fisher Fine Arts and wrote a nice piece about it for the Wall Street Journal. Everybody go read it!

The library is just a fun place, right? Books, silence, carrels - that's why they call it Fisher Fine Party! Now our libraries are getting even better. Last month they set up a text messaging system so you can ask the librarians questions. Our friends at The DP wrote all about it here.

You guys are the best. You’re tipping and you’re commenting and you’re making this button the best place to be under. But here’s something that one of you did that was not great! Somebody said their name was Amy Gutmann and commented on our Coup de Taco review:

Man, tough loss for the Phillies last week. The good news is that it's caused them to tap into their inner Coach Taylor and start this offseason with an intensity and a determination that would make Buddy Garrity giggle for days. They already picked up Cliff Lee's option and are looking to make more moves in the coming weeks. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't even think about not signing Mark DeRosa!

Don't be surprised when you wake up this weekend. You're going to see some shirts tucked into jeans. You're going to notice a lot of greying temples. You're going to think, "When did College Green became Fogey City, Population: Tons Of Moms And Dads?" Then somebody's going to give you a button that says Homecoming 2009 and it's all going to make sense.

Tonight's the SPEC Fall Concert! We're sure you all read the interviews with the bands from this week's Street, but maybe that wasn't enough. Maybe you want to know what Pains of Being Pure at Heart singer Kip Berman had to say about autumn, football and how much Smashing Pumpkins he's been listening to. Good news: we have outtakes from the interview on those very subjects and so much more!

We know what the stereotypical Penn Wednesday night is like. Get out of class, take a nap, eat some Greek Lady, hop on your Vespa, party at the Philadelphia Zoo, steal a baby rhino, go to sleep on your water bed, toss and turn because you tore a baby away from its mother, give it a big hug, return it. Same old drag, week after week. Are you looking for something to do that'll shake things up a little?

Finally, Coup De Taco opened. It's parked on 40th between Spruce and Locust and it didn't have any line when we went at 1 today. We're guessing it might have been the last time we could walk right up, though, because these tacos were muy bangin.

Penn completed their record 1,300th football game in a win over Brown on Saturday. That is more games than any other team in all of college football, so obviously we were psyched. That night, we kept saying, "Trick or treat! Also, did you hear Penn played their 1,300th football game?"

We all know Halloween is all about dressing up in the costume you've been working on for weeks, going door to door in the high rises and trick-or-treating until you've hit every single apartment or until your pillowcase is full of fun-sized Three Muskateers bars and those tiny boxes of Dots. But what else can you do this weekend?

Man, SPEC has doing a good job lately. Their latest great move was booking Clipse to perform at the SPEC-TRUM (Social Planning and Events Committee to Represent Undergraduate Minorities) Fall Show. Amazing. They're just the best! You can read about the openers, including Hoodie Allen, and ticket information right here.

One of the dumbest things to argue about is which school at Penn is the best. We're all friends here! Still, we're kind of wondering, you know? So let's figure this out once and for all based on the only logical criteria: portraits of professors hanging in the schools' respective buildings. Fill out the bracket below, start a pool with your friends and check out the first match up, Nursing vs. Engineering, after the jump.

The World Series starts tonight! But we can see on your face that you're worried. You're thinking, "I want to root for the Phillies so that I can feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when I riot following their victory but I don't even know who this Utley guy is whose costume I'm wearing." First of all, it's called a jersey or a uniform. Second of all, stop being so anxious! We got you.

We have this running feature in Street called Overheard At Penn. If you're a regular reader, you know that like 4 out of 5 are about what's wrong with the education system and how we can fix it.

People can't stop tweeting about Penn and we can't stop reading what they have to say. Join us after the jump for another edition of PennTwit. This week: nudity and penmanship practice.
Yes.
UPenn: Not Swat Since 1740.
GIRLLLL I SUCK AT TWITTER AND ALSO AT TURNING OFF MY CAPS LOCK!!!!!! WAIT YOU'RE NOT EVEN ABBY!!!!! YOU'RE JUST HER CAT!!!! I GOT A BALL OF YARN IF YOU WANT TO WORK ON THAT THOUGH!!!!!!
People always say that you should have fun in college, because you'll regret missing good times with good friends more than you will bad grades on the occasional midterm. What they don't tell you about is the terrible feeling of regret that comes from filling out a Weiss Tech House survey and never cashing in on the prize.
Oh, that explains this.
