Ah, the Comfy Lounge...
(...how I don't miss you...)
Macleans ran an article titled "Failing at the game" about University of Waterloo students playing board games in the "Comfy Lounge", a hang-out in the UW Math building where only the hardest core "mathies" enter. The article mentions several students who are granted lesser degrees (or none at all) because of their obsession with board games.
I think reading that article triggered memories of the famous Comfy Lounge stench. Nasty. I used to go there to use the vending machine during late nights at the lab, or to use the free microwave (the smell of cooking food just added to the fine combination of odors). What memories...
