You may have noticed that when Dorm Crew workers clean a bathroom, they leave behind a post-it note inviting feedback in the form of questions, complaints, or compliments. Nineteen years ago today, on Feb. 9, 1993, a certain Lowell House blocking group sent a compliment in to Dorm Crew. If you look closely at the seventh name on the letter, you'll see that it was signed by one "Matthew Damon," aka notable celebrity dropout Matt P. Damon (formerly '92).

Two memes have emerged in the past few days: Harvard Douchebag and Harvard Good Guy. Currently, Harvard Douchebag seems to be winning, at least in terms of numbers. With 86 images to Harvard Good Guy's 57, it looks like the classic Harvard douche is getting more attention. But here's to rooting for the underdog.

If you happened to have passed by Brattle Street today, you may have noticed a cluster of multicolored post-it notes brightening the windows of an empty storefront. In response to the words "Who inspires you?" written in bold black sharpie, the post-it notes express gratitude for a range of beloved people and things. If you're looking for a pick-me-up, these 3x3 inch squares may do the trick.

HUHDS, we love this semester's new culinary offerings (daily fruit bar, anyone?). But we don't quite understand today's dinner entrée, "Portabella w/ Quinoa Stuff." Is that the newest abbreviation of "stuffing?" Or were there simply no other words to describe the healthy grain?

First snails, now mealworms. This Flyby correspondent found a dark, grub-like bug most closely identified as a mealworm in Winthrop Dining Hall; this little guy was being served Saturday evening alongside the yellow squash, perhaps as added protein. Most mothers teach that a colorful plate is a healthy plate, but it looks like last night's batch of squash was a bit too much for even the most adventurous of diners to handle. We've reached out to HUDS for comment and will let you know if we receive an explanation regarding the surprising visitor.

We stumbled across this picture of Matt P. Damon (formerly '92) chilling with some friends during his time at Harvard. Looks like the dude had some fun, but more importantly, it seems like things really haven't changed much at all since Damon's youth. Kodak moment with a couple of friends? Check. Harvard banner? Check. Unyielding desire to procrastinate? Check. Come on, admit it. You enjoyed this image as much as we did. Now back to that paper!
