Harvard students—poor things—are protesting January 20 finals in hopes of attending President-elect Obama's inauguration or at least watching it worry free from home, the Har vard Crimson reports. A Facebook petition group now has 600 members, and students have brought up their cause to individual professors.

My Bologna has a first name!

What a load of hooey. If I had it my way all Wednsday night exams and labs would be cancelled (new southparks and the sarah silverman show are generally on). Sadly I still march down to the O-chem lab at 6:30 every Monday and Wednsday.

If you can talk your way out of an exam with "but I wanna watch tellie" cool. Do not have a sit in over it
