So I'm using Meri's desk this week because she's in Norway and I don't have an office on campus, and I just saw a mouse running behind her desk. Maybe I can catch it and put it in a little cage and then Meri can have a pet when she comes back.
Also, I just read a really depressing article in the Tech: http://tech.mit.edu/V129/N11/shu.html
And no, Gary is not my brother.
