Drew: See, we're trying to fight the stereotype of the MIT nerd being hygienically challenged... which is why we're offering free deodorant samples during finals! Man: And I should care why? Drew: Dude, there are wicked fumes coming off you. Man: That's absurd. Lice don't stink. Drew: You have lice? Man: Totally odorless. To avoid predators. Look it up.

I heard on the radio (BBC WorldService) last night that 40% of the students at MIT are of Asian extraction - stereotypically famous for being scrupulously clean. Do they tolerate such a mass of unwashed types?

jgcp1 I’m sure some people of Asian extraction are scrupulously clean. However, I have personnally worked with some that needed to be told to bath more than once a week.

Have to say fish heads and rice with rice bread and nouc mam is a wonderful repast. Helps you to ignore the dark nights when the only companionship is the little lousy critters wandering about sampling the wares, so to speak… Ahh, for a nice comfortable fighting hole, my k-bar and the fellowship of my little crabby friends…

I STILL say lock the doors and turn on the sprinklers. Then recruit the football team to come at them with soap and skincloths.

How can the lice stand living on him? And, if they didn’t stink before, they do now.
