random mit news

fdq and i are mit alums but we don't get to hear much juicy tidbits about mit being out on the west coast. but the past few months have churned out some delish news from our mother ship:

1. mit sueing mr. architect himself frank gehry for failures to the fancy-schmancy stata center. no surprise here. architects are known to leave the practical, common sense stuff behind to focus on the creating an amazing building. i should know - i'm an architect. but, from the article, it sounds like classic project management problems, dealing with owner pressures of a high-profile building, bad design and big egos. i should know - i'm a project manager.
2. the logan airport security overreacting to a student's "terrorist bomb." calm down, people. just because it looks a little strange and you don't know what it is, doesn't mean they're trying to kill you.
3. and the yummiest is the crazy ex-girlfriend sneaking into her ex's dorm room and stabbing him multiple times. and this happened in my dorm! whoa!

i love mit.
