I didn't realize the Statue of Liberty was so close to the Tower of Pisa

Though temporarily filled with high schoolers, this was a local COLLEGE cafeteria

Really classy lingerie store near our hotel

I almost got eaten by a dinosuar while playing laser tag

And this is what Wisconsinites eat...maybe that explains it

The things I do for debate! A few weeks ago, I spent three days at MIT with hundreds of the country's nerdiest and brightest for college Parliamentary Debate Nationals.

Nerdfest 2008 (Part 4 of 4)

After spending half an hour making fun of a GW debater for having the tolerance of a 14-year old girl, we found this. Apparently, he had wandered in the room and passed out a couple of hours before. No one knew who he was, but once we figured it out (novice debate from Stanford), the debate turned to whether someone ought to trace penises on his face.

Sadly, most debaters don't manage to provide alcohol at their "parties," so would-be party goers are forced to bring their own and bring it in flasks to avoid theft. Thanks to the Fordham team for being the main exception to this rule -- they actually left a mostly full handle of vodka in my room.

Our attempts at real fun (hotel room parties) were continually thwarted as a large, disgruntled hotel employee traveled from room to room demanding that no more than four people could be in one room at one time. As this picture shows, we were clearly wild and unruly beyond anything the hotel could tolerate.

Our very brave Columbia contributor traveled to MIT for this weekend to find out what it's like to live among the nerds.
