`09 alum Meredith Fineman is on the quest for Jewish love, as proven through her new blog Fifty First (J) Dates. The catch? She's using the Jewish internet-user's answer to match.com, J-Date, where single Jews can come one step closer to stomping on a wine glass in front of a crowd of people. Maybe she'll even find a nice doctah.
For those of you who watch MTV (or appear on it, whatevs), you may have spotted Mask and Wig's own Jonah Meyerson, who appears in a new Above the Influence commercial. It's super-legit, especially because it comes on every five seconds.
Oh, kids and their college decisions. A brief article came out this week in a local CT paper about why a high school senior chose UConn over (U)Penn. Though the author claims her decision was based on the overall price tag, obviously her choice didn't take Penn's most important qualities into account: constant free food (free food. free food.) and occasional free exercise to burn it all off. Plus, Philly is definitely ill compared to anywhere in Connecticut.
World Cup madness may have begun, but several Penngineers are involved in a cup of their own. The RoboCup is currently taking place in Singapore and 9 of our best and brightest are out there competing with their fleets of robo-athletes. The team calls themselves the UPennalizers and their robots really do play soccer.
Members of the Penn community seem to be bearing their souls (and bodies) all over reality television lately. The latest is '09 alum Abdi Farah, who will be competing in Bravo's new Work of Art: the Next Great Artist, which just so happens to be produced by sexy lady Sarah Jessica Parker. According to the DP, Farah wishes to thank the Penn Fine Arts department for all they taught him. How sweet! The article also displays a snazzy slideshow of some of Farah's work (spoiler alert: lots of distorted paintings of Obama). We're rooting for you, Abdi.
If you've ever taken a Penn tour, you've heard about the RoboCup, a soccer tournament played by robots. We found this gem of a Penn bot kicking and scoring a goal against a particularly skillful stationary robot goalie. This is proof that even Pennginerds can play the field and score sometimes.
Despite the math department's rocky reputation among Penn nerds students, professors Philip Gressman and Robert Strain solved some fancy math equation in their spare time. The Boltzmann Equation has something to do with gaseous behaviors and numbers that we won't attempt to understand, but kudos to the profs for figuring that 140-year-old problem out. Super legit job, guys.
This makes us wonder how our resident GOP supporters would vote in an election between boxers or briefs. We'd guess briefs, considering boxers are more liberating liberal. Plus, briefs are known to show off abdominal muscles, and we know how much our country's Republicans love to show off their hot bods.
According to our friendly neighborhood tipsters, Wawa is handing out adrenaline coffee fo' free all day today. Looks like they feel pretty bad about leaving us without caffeine and provisions yesterday and are trying to make up for it. We guess we'll forgive them.
Remember the days of the Vag Mons? Though those days are over for now you can relive them through the Penn Monologues, a similar series written and performed entirely by Penn students. There may be less female genitalia involved but we have been promised plenty of intrigue. The show is $1 and will take place in Claudia Cohen Hall at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
Head over to to the second floor of Houston Hall tonight between 8 and 10 to check out "Who Are You?", an exhibit created by The Fellows for Building Intercultural Communities (alias: FBIC). Apparently it's all about diversity within Penn's a capella student groups and features eleven students in particular.
Look what we came across while stealing paying for our Houston salad with extra walnuts today. Apparently the Houston Hall bigwigs have noticed a trend among us hungry students and are taking action against any and all Ivy League Winona's. Penn delinquents, get ready for your close-up. And in the spirit of Fling, let's hope this doesn't happen.
An anonymous tipster sent this photo our way this morning. Apparently this chicken was feeling a little dirty this weekend and was found in a Quad shower. Or perhaps it was avoiding a walk of shame back home.
That's right. Your favorite late night cookies can now be accompanied by cupcakes! Insomnia is currently offering three flavors: vanilla, chocolate and red velvet (fancy!). And for a limited time you don't even have to pay to try one. Enter the code 'CUPCAKE' on Insomnia's website to get a free cupcake with any cookie order. Cookies and a free cupcake without leaving the comfort of your bedroom? Sweet.
Several tipsters have sent us pictures of the newly erected sign outside the Radian, where Bobby's Burger Palace is rumored to be opening the first week in April. The joint is owned by famed chef Bobby Flay, who seems to love his own name almost as much as a certain UA Prez contender. Personally, we're especially excited about the Burger of the Month which promises to be the perfect cure for any hangover stress.
Desperate to find a cheap last minute way to impress that special someone for V-Day? According to this sign, you can buy a $15 Tote For Two, complete with all sorts of romantic snacks that you lovebugs can share in the romantic setting of your dorm room. We're not exactly sure who is selling these dates-in-a-bag but we do see that they contain raspberry flavored water and assorted chocolates, which are bound to impress any classy lady or gentleman. Info can be found on the tables of Penn's fine dining institutions, or in the attached photo. Totes convenient! And if you happen to know what they mean by "petite seasonal fruits" give a shout out in the comments.
Our friends at SPEC have announced another feast fest. On Friday from 11-3 in Houston Hall SPEC will be hosting a party in honor of our favorite love-to-hate-it holiday and they're calling it (surprise!) Love Fest. There are promises of candy and rootbeer floats, so what better way for a single and lonely V-Day hater to eat his or her feelings than with free treats? And if you're half of a happy couple, don't you dare go taking the last cupcake, provided by the Buttercream cupcake truck.
For many of us, biking is the chosen mode of transportation around campus. Walking to class or to Commons just isn't as much fun, especially because the probability of smashing wheel-first into that annoying chick from down the hall is seriously minimized. But what's a biker to do when their best friend is trapped in the snow? It appears that walking is the new biking until the snow melts. Though saddening for all cycling enthusiasts, this is good news for all those who seem to be targets of the ferocious four-wheeling menaces on Locust Walk.
As all you Facebook addicts may know, this is the week of the celebrity doppleganger. Everyone seems to be using a celeb look-a-like generator to find out who their celeb look-a-like is. We decided to try it out with none other than the dashing gentleman himself, Benjamin Franklin. We must say, we are not one bit surprised that B-Frank is comparable to the sexy and sophisticated Albert Einstein. We are, however, a little confused by his supposed resemblance to Kirk Douglas.
The men of Mask and Wig have gone digital. We're sure you've seen the groovy fliers posted around campus advertising their spring show, A Cheshire Catastrophe, but the boys have gone all out this time. There is now a digital marquee outside the Quad's lower gate, encouraging everyone to come one come all. That is, if they have enough patience to read the slowly scrolling message.
