Happy Thanksgiving! by Matt McGann '00
Holiday wishes and fun stuff.
Happy Thanksgiving!
My friend Jennifer (MIT ’01) is an artist/baker extraordinaire. This week I got her annual Thanksgiving comic in my inbox:
Dear friends,
May your Thanksgiving holiday be a *smashing* success, filled with family, friends, food, and fun!
You can learn more about Jennifer’s artistic and culinary adventures at leftunattended.com.
Looking for a little assistance this Thanksgiving? One place to check out is Instructables (a project of the MIT-alumni company Squid Labs), where there’s a DIY Thanksgiving group, including how to fry a turkey. But the awesomest Thanksgiving project has to be the gravy fountain:
what’s more excessive than a giant pie? recirculating fountains of food seemed like the obvious escalation. a custom peristaltic pump design powered by an electric drill provided a gushing torrent of delicious, piping hot gravy.
Have a great holiday, everyone.
Happy TURKEY day! Eat loadz and be mellow! Ohw and that gravy setup is pretty cool!
wow that potato cartoon made me so happy, even partly because it is a cartoon whose subject is a potato. masterful.
and im so going to try and make a gravy machine now hahaha
happy thanksgiving matt!
Thanksgiving was so awesome that I actually forgot for most of the day to count down—- 2 weeks, 1 day, and a sleepless Friday night to go!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone~!
Hi! Matt,
1))Here how I mess uped I was having sat 1 in October but test center were closed(what collegeboard informed me) for November sat 2 i was not allowed to sit for exam as my country didn’t gave me passport yet(coz of their system fault) and i don’t know whether it will be ready by December so its clear that i will not be able to take tests due my country’s system fault but I have strong desire for MIT i have studied Physics, Chem, Maths much more deeper than collegeboard asks as I was preparing for IIT-JEE, you can check out me personally.
are really tests required
can’t I be directly admitted seeing my researches,
was Einstein’s ability checked by some of stupid tests.please guide me I know you can
2))and please tell how can we confirm that supplemental material posted by us is recived by you
A gravy fountain….. mmmm. What about a “stuffing catapult”? Haha, sorry, it’s been years since I had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (living in an LDC). sad.
Anyways, I have a question, Matt. There is only room for one math and one science SAT II’s. Can I put my World History score anywhere since history really is my favorite subject?
^^ lol.
Einstein sought enrollment at the renowned Zurich Polytechnic but did not pass the entrance exam as a result of his poor French.
