17 CommentsTipster Michael Wymbs alerted us to last night’s episode of the Colbert Report, on which Physicas Professor Brian Greene was a guest. Greene was promoting the World Science Festival (of which he is host), which will take place this weekend in all over the city. As part of the festival, Greene will be a panelist in an “Invisible Reality” lecture (moderated by favored West Wing Republican Alan Alda.) Check out the Festival’s full schedule here.
The Festival’s Street Fair will take place on Saturday in Washington Sq. Park and will feature a 12-foot tall animatronic dinosaur and a real-life version of the Magic School Bus. Bwog will see you there.

@Are you serious Bwog? “[F]avored West Wing Republican Alan Alda”…more like Hawkeye fucking Pierce of M*A*S*H. What are you too young to even have heard of the show?

@commencement ropes what do the different colored ropes people have for commencement stand for?

@that only That only explains the different colors of the hoods. What about the cords???
@I think... Golden yellow = class marshal
Blue & white = OMA (I think)
One yellow, one blue = football
Apart from the class marshals, I don’t think the cords are officially sanctioned. People can wear pretty much whatever they want.
@@ curious hot tip: it was probably lame and boring.
@curious What ever happened to Commencement coverage?
@bored much?
