[William Drew - Laboratory for Brain Network Imaging and Modulation] William Drew With Honorable mention to: Nicole Zhang & Audrey Dilgarde Here was the riddle: Romeo and Juliet were found lying found dead on the floor in a bedroom. There was no sign of struggle, but there were shards of glass and what appeared to be some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room was an almost bare shelf with just a few books on it and an unmade bed. Except for a nearby railway track, the house was in a remote location, several miles away from town. Here is the answer: Romeo and Juliet were not star-crossed lovers, but two goldfish swimming in a glass bowl. They died when a train rumbled by, causing the bowl to skid off the shelf (alternative answer: when vibrations from a train passing by caused one of the books on the shelf to fall onto the bowl). The bowl broke on the floor, and the fish died.

[PFOHO] Tomorrow, 1:00-2:00 EST: Chinese Costume Drama Lunch

by Frim, Daniel

Dear Residents of Pforzheimer House, Ying-ke and I would like to invite you to a virtual community lunch table tomorrow from 1:00 to 2:00 EST devoted to an interest that she and I, and I know many of you, share: Chinese costume dramas! Our focus will be on the first episode of the show "The Eternal Love," which we'll watch together and then discuss. Here's a description of the show, courtesy of Ying-ke: A money-grubbing real estate agent finds herself whisked into the body of a proper lady in another world and another time forced to wed a calculating prince -- presented in a lighthearted series that mixes an overview of Chinese drama tropes and a dash of more serious drama. We'll achieve simultaneous viewing by pressing play on our respective YouTube screens at the same time following a countdown. The Zoom details are pasted below the body of this email. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow! Sincerely, Daniel Daniel Frim is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
