Whiteboard Project: Is OLD BAY® Just for Crabs?

Posted on August 9, 2017 by efgorman

old bay poll

In one of our most decisive polls yet, it is clear we have a lot of OLD BAY® fans here! Most of you do not believe this Maryland-born seasoning should only be used on steamed crabs. However, the crabs-only folks are not without some support, as the original name of OLD BAY® was “Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning.”¹ Those more adventurous in using the seasoning suggested french fries and pizza – any other ideas?

Whiteboard Project: Toilet Paper – Over or Under?

Posted on July 25, 2017 by ebrown

A question for the ages.  Should the toilet paper roll hang under or over?  It is clear from our scientific polling that most of you prefer that it hang over.  In fact, it was proven that this was the original intent by a patent image of the designer’s clear diagram showing that toilet paper should hang over.  The end.

The HS/HSL will open one hour late on Saturday, July 15th at 9:00am instead of 8:00am.  The Campus is completing a generator project and testing will extend until Saturday morning.  There is concern that the Library could experience a power surge or outage during the testing, so a delayed opening was required.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

What are your plans for July 4th?

Your options were: barbecuing, hitting the beach, something else, or perhaps “nothing?”

Well, doing nothing is the big winner this time. Think of the benefits, it gives you time to reflect, de-stress and reinvigorate yourself.  Huzzah for doing nothing.  We are sorry for you poor folks who had to take exams and study.
