Yesterday, Forbes came out with a list of the 30 Most Generous Celebrities, noting contributions from $300k to over $10 million. This was all well and good, and certainly good since it's charity and giving and all that jazz, but speaking of giving, guess who didn't give Maury Povich C'62 his due credit.

Yo, even in the 90s, the dudes of Zeta Psi were all that and a bag of chips. Damn skippy! Here's a snap of some homeslices chillin' over Spring Break 1990 in Montego Bay looking fly, fresh and dope. If you don't think so, you're clueless, straight trippin' and we advise you to talk to the hand. Check out more tight, pimpin', stylin' shots after the jump. Word. (Or hit up alum uploads directly at YouAre Penn, a neato site run by Penn Alumni. Boo ya!) This last picture was actually taken at Mardi Gras in 1989, but we liked it so much, we tacked it on with the others. Sure beats a Weekend at Bernie's.
This year brought us a whole host of Penn startups, creations and innovations. To avoid any information overload, we break them down for you here by category, with our two top picks in each.
Warby Parker. On the surface, it's just an online eyewear company specializing in the hipster-gone-mainstream frames trend. But then you're like, "Wait, whoa. 95 bucks a pop? With prescription lenses included? What's the catch?"

You might remember Meredith Perry C'11 as one half of the uBeam dream team. Or you might have gone to a Bloomers show or two. Or you've seen her chillin' at NASA, where she currently works. (What, like it's hard?) Any which way you dice it, though, this recent Penn grad, funny gal, and astronaut has hit up a coveted spot in the Energy category on Forbes' first ever "30 Under 30" feature with her remote charging ultrasound mechanism.
It's your second all-nighter in a row and you're kicking yourself in the face for putting all your work off this weekend while you blacked out at formal only to wake up in bed next to your little. You've lost track of time, every day has the dreaded feel of a Sunday night, and you've refreshed your Facebook newsfeed so often that wishing that rando NSO hookup a happy birthday is starting to seem like a good idea.
[Disclaimer: Papyrus is such a joke. So is this post.] Before she was the star of Saturday Night Live and Bridesmaids as well as GQ's "Bro of the Year," Kristen Wiig was just another face on Locust. Just kidding, she never walked on Locust. Just kidding, she did but she was a whole body, not just a face. Just kidding, she wasn't a whole body because she was missing a vital organ. Just kidding, it wasn't that vital. Just kidding, it was if she wanted to join Mask & Wig.

Blank hopped over to Showtime from HBO way back when and worked through the ranks, garnering positions like President and Chief Operating Officer in 1991 (piece o' cake), until he finally landed himself a spot as the network's top diggity dog.
Lower Quad residents woke up this morning to find this banner strung across their field, clearly the work of Penn's infamous (but questionably literate) squirrels.

Ah, Thanksgiving Break... Turkey leaking a steady drip of tryptophan into your system, all the women fighting in the kitchen over who gets which leftovers, the boys crowded around the TV catching the big synchronized swim meet, and Aunt Lisa passed out on the couch.
Itching to sit around your adorned tree stuffed with presents and surrounded by your family? Or in most Penn cases, itching to sit around an adorned Chinese restaurant table stuffed with dumplings and surrounded by your nagging aunts? Either way, these guys have got your early Christmas fix.
