CU Engineers’ Assassins Game Sensationally Nerdy
Today marks day 5 of Columbia Engineer Student Council’s 184-person game of assassins, and, as expected from a large group of mathematically-minded folk fluent in JAVA and the Tolkien, wielding waterguns and “death” lists, it’s been a frag-tastic celebration of nerditude.

True that. Pretending to kill each other is how we keep from killing each other.
It’s like what Aristotle said about theatre, you know. Or maybe it was one of those other guys. But someone said something about it.
