Pushpinder

I was recently clued into an amazing catering system that goes on around MIT. It goes like this; there is some man named Pushpinder. You email Pushpinder, asking him to deliver you Indian food for however many days during the week. At noon sharp, this man, pushpinder, leaves indian food for you in a designated place at MIT. It consists of a delicious vegitarian meal, along with heaps of rice and bread.

I have never met Pushpinder. I have not yet paid Pushpinder. Yet this anonymous man continues to bring me incredible food that incapacitates my work afternoon.

Apparently this system is not unique to MIT (an article about such delivery systems has reached #1 most emailed at nytimes.com. I am happy to be tapping into this rich cultural tapestry.

In thanks of this amazing man who I have not yet met, I will suggest that all mit readers email pushpinder at guruthecaterer@gmail.com asking him for food. He will bring it.

Dennis Overbye, you've done better

Much better . He sticks it to "What the bleep". He ends with a bit too much of a flourish, but it makes a solid point.

On a sadder note, Jon Stewart just invoked "that Heisenberg principle" in a ridiculous way.
