Jessica Fargen at the Herald interviews a member of the League of Extraordinary Busybodies the MIT Crime Club, who, you may recall, hired a private eye to get arrested investigate the Harvard murder house and who say they were only trying to help out their cousins over at the Crimson end of town:
"It's about us giving them the ability to promote security without having to take the heat for it. We take the heat," said 1987 MIT graduate James Herms, who described the MIT group as campus crimestoppers.

MIT people should stick to the Numb3rs model
Leave the brawn to Don.
Lame!
That is so incredibly lame!
At first I thought maybe it was a farce, you know, a so over the top farce that from this distance and without knowing all the details, it looked lamo-real.
LAME! aaaugh.
Somewhere in Cambridge, a brass rat is trying to drown itself in despair, but brass is impermeable to water and everyone at MIT knows how to swim.
Detecting Everything But Social Reality

I'll have to ask my MIT Librarian friend if they are going to remove all the Encyclopedia Brown and Harriet the Spy books from the library now.
MIT's Encyclopedia Brown had been banned from Harvard
When I read the Herald story, I thought it was a tad odd that a guy who graduated in 1986 was still active in a campus club. Time to move on, maybe, dude?
Wicked Local Cambridge tells us what the two dailies missed: From the guy's status as independently wealthy, thanks to a patent on some treatment for sensitive teeth, to the fact that Harvard told him to stay off its campus in 2004 after he allegedly pulled a variety of unsavory stunts.
I love this
Wow. What a deliciously bumbling cast of players in this crazy scheme.
