Good morning, weary traveler. Guess what happened while you were sleeping? Well, it pretends when you went to bed, but anyway there was a "probable" case of swine flu announced out of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The Dental School. Thanks a lot, Dental School. Thanks for being the first to bring the swine killer our way.
For those who foster anything from a keener-than-normal interest in the bushy-tailed, beady-eyed rodents that inhibit the Yard to a flatout bizarre obsession with Harvard squirrels, fear not! Although society may look down upon you, the Harvard Squirrel Archive (yes, you read that correctly) will teach you more about the long history between squirrel and school.
Where there’s email, there’s spam. With a plethora of list-servs at their fingertips, Harvard students have gotten pretty adept at sending out provocative, enticing, and downright ludicrous statements in order to pump up attendance for whatever a cappella jam/dance show/charity event/speakers’ panel/massive orgy that is going on at the moment. It's all spam to FlyBy. But, you know what they say: one man's trash is another man's treasure. So here are some of the most weird, funny, and heartbreaking spam excerpts that FlyBy found in its recent inbox memory. Try to guess what they're about (you will fail). Answers after the jump.

However, the initial post did not make the source of the idea clear or cite the Harbus prominently enough. FlyBy regrets the error. Please check out the original Harbus article here.
Last night, Leverett HoCo announced that the Spring Formal will be held in Leverett. Big woop. Formal veterans have perfected dancing under big white tents and turned open bars in courtyards into an art form.
