The London School of Economics, contrary to popular belief, is populated by idiots. I present the following e-mail (sent to all Bankside residents) as proof:
Fire Alarms – over the last week, we have had several evacuations, all caused by careless cooking in the kitchens. To give some examples:
a. Cooking left unattended, and subsequently burnt.
b. Metal used in the microwaves – causing the machine to explode.
c. The toasting of bread, the thickness of which was too wide, preventing the toaster from automatically popping up, thus the bread burnt.
LEAVING YOUR COOKING UNATTENDED? METAL IN THE MICROWAVES? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I think I made that metal in the microwave mistake when I was, oh, in 3RD GRADE! Seriously, we have so many fire alarms it is ridiculous…and in the morning. I think they are the LSE version of reveille.
There was also a fire alarm in the library today. It was actually quite funny, because no one got up to leave until, five minutes into the alarm, a staff member said “Ummm…you guys have to leave.” I think we are so immune to the alarms that when there is a real fire (probably caused by some idiotic smoker), we will all perish. How sad.
Another thing about the library…at GWU, when you wanted to put up a somewhat amusing away message for an incredibly boring trip to the library, it was quite popular to say “I’ve got a hot date with Melvin Gelman” or “Spending the evening with Gelman.” These days, it’s not any fun to write “I’ve got a hot date with the British Library of Political and Economic Science.” How…dull.
Anyways, back to those two presentations that I have on Wednesday…

From Jennifer:
One time I put a Capri Sun in the microwave. Little did I know the shiny stuff the juice is packaged in is metal. Sparks flew. Secondly when going to the lovely GW library complete with Starbucks I personally put “Having an affair with my man Melvin”.
