Watch your step in front of Butler tonight – the forces of nature have opened a cavernous pit by the main entrance. One of the grates by the wall collapsed.
Public Safety assured our tipster that no one had fallen in.
Good thing, too, otherwise they might have found Columbia’s secret gold vault.

Whether for study or sleep, some of us wish the night would last just a little bit longer. With this in mind, Bwog presents a retrospective look at the most night-y night of recent memory. During the total lunar eclipse of February 20, Bwog’s polyhistoric daily editor Zach van Schouwen ascended the heights of Pupin and snapped a couple of photos of the largest holes on campus. At right is the new Earth Sciences building. After the jump is the Barnard Nexus.

It’s always good to be an expert on something, even if that something is, well, nothing. Back in the day, during the Chad Crisis of the 2000 elections, Philosophy Professor Achille Varzi was apparently the go-to guy for insight into holes and what they’re all about. Brendan Ballou found a CNN transcript in which he gives his opinion about chads. Excerpt:
VARZI
: These are the parts that have been removed from the doughnut before it became a doughnut. Now, of course, this is not the hole. The hole is what’s not there anymore.
MOOS
: But doughnuts pale compare to ballots.
And that’s the least of it.
