[csail-related] GSB Tonight: Signs of Age.



You know you're getting old when you learn what the work "twerking" means
from NPR [1].  It's pretty odd to me that our youths have come up for a
word for this.  Jiggling your butt *has its own word*.  Let that sink in
[2].

So twerking has popped up a lot in the [3] news.  It's all anyone seems to
be talking about.  Who's twerking against whose pants [4], what happens to
people that twerk against doors [5], what Will Smith's family's alleged
reaction to twerking is [6] ... [2]

By the way, before you forget I mentioned NPR, I found the order of All
Things Considered's segments pretty funny on Wednesday's show.  Have a
listen and see if you know what I mean [7].

Let's talk about all the bad luck that will befall us at this week's:

       +-                                                  -+
          girl scout benefit -+-  5:30 pm  -+- 32-G9 lounge
       +-                                                  -+

           For those coming from elsewhere: Building 32 is
            <http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=32>
       Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
   floor and we will be in the lounge that you will be looking at
                 <http://projects.csail.mit.edu/gsb>


[1] Or a GSB message, for that matter.
[2] In the words of the great Chris Cooper's character Col. Frank Fitts,
USMC as he read the paper near the beginning of American Beauty: "This
country is going straight to hell."
[3] American
[4] ... while said pants are being worn, to be clear.
[5] Apparently they literally catch fire.
[6] This ended up being inaccurate (they were reacting to something else),
but the image was so good, I wanted to point out its existence to you.
[7] Let your hint as to what I'm referring be this email.
