Ah, yes, Lazlo was the name. Thanks for the Caltech scoop. (I was RPI ages ago.)

Remember that scene where Lazlo comes up with a way of hacking some sweepstakes? That was based on a real event: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/Hoaxipedia/Caltech_Sweeps...

Nope, sorry, but thanks for the links. At the moment, I'm chuckling to myself about the hyper gal who knits sweaters for everyone at night because she never sleeps. Oh, and the ice covered hallway. And here I am awake all night...
