When I realized what today was, my heart skipped a beat. NATIONAL PANCAKE DAY aka the day IHOP gives away a free short stack (3 pancakes) to anyone that enters their doors. Could it possibly be true? Could fluffy and syrupy goodness be mine for free? And to top it all off could I help a good cause in the process of feasting?
My roommate and I braved the bitter cold with thoughts of pancake and batter dancing in our heads. This year, IHOP picked the Children’s Miracle Network to support. So, after placing our pancake order we made a small donation to help save some of the millions of kids overcome with illness. This act makes us feel better about shoveling food into our mouth, after having already eaten a rather large dinner.
But with a wait of over an hour and being assigned ridiculous names (we were “Brad Pitt party of two”), the luke-warm, undercooked pancakes weren’t worth it. So I’m sorry, but even with the philanthropic goals in mind, IHOP’s free Pancake Day has nothing on Denny’s free grandslams (mmmm bacon bacon bacon).

Probably doesn't look this classy.
Today is Day One of the UC’s “Reading Period Giveaways.” Here’s what they’re giving away today:
- Free backrubs in Ticknor Lounge today from 1-3pm.
- Free hot cider in Greenhouse Cafe from 6-7pm.
Noice is a fan of hot cider, so we think this is pretty cool. Follow the UC’s blog, UC Juicy, for updates on what else they’re giving away this week! (We hope it’s something along the lines of a “NO EXAMS PASS.” Or something.)

Noice was about to sit down to a dinner of french onion soup and crusty wholewheat bread when suddenly something equally french, but infinitely more tasty-looking caught our attention.
Introducing LE WHIF, the product of the tireless of work of Harvard Professor David Edwards and his team of students. Edwards writes: “Over the centuries we’ve been eating smaller and smaller quantities at shorter and shorter intervals. It seemed to us that eating was tending toward breathing, so, with a mix of culinary art and aerosol science, we’ve helped move eating habits to their logical conclusion. We call it whiffing.” All sounds very odd to us, but here goes!
The small lipstick sized plastic container fits comfortably in the hand and is very light. Pull it out, raise it to the lips and inhale! Suddenly a rush of the most delicious chocolate flavor as thousands of aerosol chocolate particles burst onto the tongue. LE WHIF comes in three awesome flavors (Noice loves them all very, very much): Dark (rich, creamy tasting) Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, and Raspberry Chocolate. Each LE WHIF is worth three or four shots (or whiffs?!) of chocolate heavenly-ness and, whilst you’re not enjoying the instant chocolate satisfaction, you can simply click it shut and pop it back into your manbag, purse, or pocket.
LE WHIF is doing the rounds in many of the upperclassmen houses so keep a look out and tell your friends. However, more importantly, come along to the Grand Opening of The Laboratory this Sunday 8th in the late afternoon and witness an incredible (and sometimes chocolaty) collision of art and science. Buy those tickets!
(If you’re interested in learning more about LE WHIF and the other amazing products by this group just go to www.lewhif.com and www.thelaboratory.harvard.edu)

They GLOW in the DARK.
Noice received a lovely invite from HUBSS today to a Halloween Social, featuring free BerryLine and…bioluminescent dinoflagellates?!
First thoughts:
Free BerryLine = Yessss.
Our own flask of bioluminescent dinoflagellates = WHAT IS THAT.
HUBSS = WHAT IS THIS.
For the rest of you non-sciencey types out there, dinoflagellates are tiny alien-looking wrigglers of horror. Okay fine, that definition is a failure. So let’s go to the trusty Wikipedia:
“The dinoflagellates are a large group of flagellate protists. Most are marine plankton, but they are common in fresh water habitats as well. They make up the largest group of eukaryotic algae aside from the diatoms.”
HUBSS is the Harvard Undergraduate Biological Sciences Society. Major props to them for bringing these glowing microbes of terror to the general Harvard undergrad population. For your own flask of glowy wriggly things, check out Ticknor Lounge this Friday from 7-9pm.

Starving Artist = Total Myth. Besides, there's pizza.
VES? What’s VES? Well according to their website, they are “the curricular home of a broad range of studio arts and more theoretical studies.” It’s the oft-maligned and sometimes under-appreciated Visual Arts (film/photo/studio/animation/etc.) department of Harvard University. For some of you, this idea is making you tingle. You might be going “Wait, what? You can make art at Harvard of all places? I, I don’t have to sell my soul to Mankiw?” Yes, honey. Yes, you can. But… there’s a catch!
The application to become a VES concentrator is due tomorrow in Carpenter Center 105.
But how will I ever decide the course of the rest of my life/career/time at harvard in just a few hours? Read the answer, after the jump!

What a sour puss. Get it? Aww.
Occasionally our inner nerds (aka “innerds“) get so excited over a class that we feel everyone must know about it. Presenting “A Slice of Class” in which we highlight a particularly revelatory/exciting/OMG/WTF class or section:
It’s not every science section at Harvard that has one class entirely dedicated to eating lemon wedges, Oreos, strawberries, goat’s cheese, and to drinking vinegar. However, this was exactly what this went on in section this afternoon for Science of Living Systems 11 “The Molecules of Life”. Read more about how after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

!!!PUUURPLE!!!
Hot damn. Some crazy jonx went down at 45 Mt. Auburn earlier tonight.
It was the most rip-roarin’ event since the Big Bang. It was epic. It was Miltonian. It was… The Seneca Info Meeting.
Noice sent one of its bloggers (thaaat’s me!) to investigate the goings on of this semi-secretive and mostly just mind-bogglingly vague “women’s organization.”
Some of you may be wondering whether The Seneca is just a modified female final club with a paper application, or whether it’s a politically correct front for a money laundering scheme.
While I can’t guarantee that much information on the latter was gleaned, I bring to you the who-what-where and the who-wore-what of the information event of the week. Read more after the jump.
