Like, OMG, I have a shot at making the Globe's Most Stylish Bostonians list

One of this year's selections is Tim Love, an architect whose contribution to style is wearing untucked dress shirts and standing against walls. I do both all the time; in fact, as I type this, I'm wearing an untucked dress shirt (kidlet on seeing his photo: "But you're not wearing a white shirt"). I better start clearing a space on the mantel for the trophy (there's gotta be a trophy, right?).

A blogging BPS parent

Parent Imperfect is a Roslindale father of two kids in the BPS system - Boston Latin and the Hennigan - yes, the school that delayed opening for two days because of that pesky PCB problem:

Just for the record, the Parent Imperfect contacted Robert Herrick of the Harvard School of Public Health to ask what he thought about the repairs to the Hennigan School. Paint in the school was found to contain PCBs, a dangerous family of chemicals that have been banned in the U.S. since 1978. To the PI's surprise, Herrick replied almost immediately, saying that, "if the abatement has been completed to the satisfaction of the EPA, there is no reason to be concerned about returning to school."

After this, can there be any doubt that we're a world-class city?

The Boston Foodie fills us in: We now hold the record for the world's largest cannoli - 12 feet and 300 pounds of rich, sugary goodness.

In order to replicate the tiny chocolate bits used in the typical cannoli, full-size Hersey's kisses were brought in. I also asked exactly how they filled the entire thing. The answer: holes were drilled along the top of the shell and the filling was piped in from there. This was like the Big Dig of pastry engineering!

Maybe the copywriters were just taking the whole Oxford Comma thing too far

Spatch rails against 30 Rock ads plastered on the T that inform us that "30 Rock, rocks!"

The only real member of the .406 Club

The New York Times takes a long look at Ted Williams in 1941:

It is a 20th-century baseball masterpiece unlike any other, carved not across one World Series, one month or even 56 games but from April 15 to Sept. 28. Every single at-bat figured in the outcome, unlike when a hitter chases home run records.

Online mystery: Who's posting news about BC and the IRA subpoenas?
