MIT maths department art, featuring Spongebob!

The other day I was walking through the maths department (or math department, I suppose) and I found......

Yep, "TRASH ART", positioned in front of art which probably cost money, in the form of a mural.

There were four bits of art. The helpful coffee cup sign, and then these three guys...

How wonderfully nerdy is this?!?!?! Fourier Trasform Spongebob, a boxcar, and get a sinc-ed up Patrick.

I didn't expect to see Spongebob Fourier transform themed corridor art at MIT, but I don't really expect most of the things I see at MIT.

It's-a-me, Post-It note Mario (and friends)

Whilst I was away these appeared in the windows of the Koch Institute at MIT

It's-a Mario! A glorious 8-bit post it note Mario! (Halfway down the photo, a third of the way in from the left, in mainly red and green) 

It's like all those offices in Paris did last summer. But it's not just a Mario, also a gooper! And a Link, and probably a Zelda - I don't think it's Princess Peach, and she's standing right next to Link, so it's probably Zelda.

I hope they do an 8-bit Yoshi soon. I like Yoshi.

The Galaxy runs on Dunkin'

I have returned from my wanderings (which do not count as exploring, as I just returned to the original Cambridge, no Brave Explorer badges earned) and can report that in my absence there have been some pleasing donut developments:

1. Cherry blossom related donuts are OVER! *Dance dance dance* Although they were pink on the inside they were not very tasty.

2. The new Men In Black 3 promotion is most excellent and has brought a delicious new donut that is shaped like a star! And stuffed with a delicious chocolate goo. It also has star shaped jimmies.

Dunkin' donuts was my first stop on my Boston return. It was not a disappointment, due to the "Undercover Black Cocoa Creme" donut (the second best donut ever!). Coincidentally, the main Dunkin' rival, Krispey Kreme, was my first stop on UK soil. I used to love the Krispey Kreme at Terminal 3, particularly the lemon meringue doughnut, but US Dunkin' has ruined it forever.

As well as fancy new star shaped donut, there is a boring chocolate glazed one ("Chocolate lunarmax") and there is also special Black Cocoa Creme iced coffee, which tastes like "cookies and creme" according to the poster. I am not tempted. But, let's face it, it is probably just a matter of time. I'm going to crack on with some hula hooping now, in an optimistic attempt to avoid developing my very own spare donut.
