No, not that kind of dirty, ya PERV. Paul Rozin, a psychologist and emeritus professor here at Penn was featured in an article in today's New York Times for his expertise regarding the evolution of disgust as an emotional response.
Still Trynna See Jeff Mangum?–Well, you're in luck (maybe)! Around 20 or so more tickets are going on sale at noon today. Judging from how quickly they sold out last time (35 seconds), feel free not to tell your friends.
In search of an excuse to stuff your face AND feel like a *star*? Look no further! Center City District Restaurant Week, which runs from January 22nd through February 3rd (with a one day hiatus on January 28th), allows you to pay just $35 for a three-course dinner or $20 for a three-course lunch at over 100 participating Philly restaurants.
Though we laud Saxbys' effort to appeal to the celiacs and gluten free fetishists among us, this sign is a sight for sore stomachs. It's with a heavy heart (and a slightly less dazzling bedazzled mug) that we say: Saxbys–do less.
It was once said (by none other than our BFF B.F.), "Hunger is the best pickle." It was also he who said, "Time is money." We're choosing to interpret this as, "Hey, things change, but basically we like to eat and spend money (but mostly eat). Pickles are tasty."
Open up your minds and your Google Calendars, because we've compiled a list of 10 different ways you can burst the Penn bubble this weekend. Ready? Are you sure? Don't even think about taking notes.
We love caption contests. We also (secretly) love Whartonites. Caption contests and Whartonites together? That's GOLDman Sachs, baby. We present to you UTB's official photo recap of Winter Whartonland 2011, a gingerbread-house decorating, snowflake-snogging study break that went down last Thursday in Huntsman's Baker Forum. Check out all photos (with captions!) after the jump, plus one without a caption we want YOU to make up for us.
Alright, that may have been a slight exaggeration, but this random pile of foam squares is the most exciting thing to happen in DRL since, like, ever. Hey, physics majors: where the party at?
[Disclaimer: Papyrus is such a joke. So is this post.] It's been awhile, but we're back with a new edition of Meet The Mayors! This week, we investigate a place no man*, mayor (on Foursquare, for all you rock-dwellers out there) or Penn student** has ever gone before: Chili's. The mayor in question is Lance B., a 32-year old ex-artist and LPS student from Laurel, MS.
Sick of hitting up all your usual campus hangouts (GSRs, VP, the basement bathroom of Fisher Fine Arts, etc.)? Trying to avoid all those adorable, hyperventilating freshmen before finals? Well, dudes, today is your lucky day.
The last leg of the semester is no picnic on College Green. Between bullshitting writing papers, sweet-talking that B+ into an A- and dealing with the last minute midterms professors toss in just to watch us suffer, finding time to so much as remember that--holy crap it's December?--can be a struggle.
Today's weather may be subpar, but--excuse us for getting all mushy and optimistic--at least it's not snowing! Good thing bromance was alive and well in 1898 to keep these Penn football players toasty.
Attention All Graduating Seniors--The 2012 Commencement brochure is up. Cool! Scary! Yeah, mostly scary.
Black Friday Photo Shoot--Did you lose hours of tryptophan-induced sleep to indulge in your inner bargain shopper today? Snap any muploads of soccer moms gone wild? Send 'em to us! Tips[at]underthebutton.com.
Thanksgiving Break is something of a double-edged sword: free food, free food and, oh, right, free food? Sign us up! But an entire weekend spent reliving high school memories in carny-infested bars and friends' basements? Uh.
Heroic as this effort is, we think it'll take more than a sign to stop the gross antics of these KC jokers.
Penetration isn't always a good thing. Take electrodes, for example--neuroscientists have been surgically implanting electrodes into mice and rats to study their inner brain activity for decades. While the procedure is considered widely acceptable for small rodents, the idea of having sharp things jabbed inside your own brain just to, like, save lives or whatever, may not be so pleasant.
American Apparel On The Cheap--This Groupon gives you $50 worth of American Apparel merch for $25 (or $100 worth for $50). Score! What's better is that you can buy two (aka your Christmas shopping just got cut in half). Snag this up before the deal ends on 11/20.
In continuation of the whole, "Hey we're Penn, and hot celebrities love us" phase, Canadian-British blogger and sexting connoisseur Cory Doctorow will be here this Thursday for some good ol' Q & A. As the author of several science fiction novels and other short stories, it'd be easy to assume this talk is Trekkies-only, but--trust us--there's more to Doctorow than meets the Eye of Sauron. Here are five factoids about this co-editor of Boing Boing you may not know already: He was born in Toronto and raised in a Jewish activist household. One of his novels, titled For The Win, centers around video games and economics (please refrain from all "Econ majors FTW!!!" jokes). He was listed as one of Forbes' top Web Celebs from 2007-2010. That's like, forever in Internet years (aka this dude is internet famous FOR REAL). He can tell you whether or not your search history is actually anonymous (that one time we got high and googled how to make a nuclear weapon totally doesn't count, right?) and what it takes to be an "uber blogger." Yay, technology! He has a three-year-old daughter named Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow. The event will be held in JMHH 245 at 5 p.m. and is 100% open to the public. Let us know if you end up going and, more importantly, if his daughter has a nickname.
Not into the Homecoming hype? -- Visit the Penn Museum this Sunday to "Travel The World With Games" instead! If the riveting title doesn't convince you, there will be a 10,000(!!!)-piece domino rally. We love watching people things fall.
