Just add another one to the list. Not only do we have planking, owling, and sloppy tuna-ing, but now "leisure diving" has been added to the lineup. Brian Thorne, Harvard Business School grad and co-founder of Leisuredive.com, explained to the Boston Herald, “Planking and owling lack a coolness factor.

David Fincher's The Social Network opens the New York Film Festival tonight. Facebook's rocky creation story begins with founder Mark Zuckerberg as an awkward Harvard undergrad and posits that he started the site mainly to impress Harvard's suave final club crowd.

Of all the problems one can have, choosing between Harvard, Princeton and Yale elicits scant sympathy. You'd think the choice would be easier if your name was Yale Fan. But Yale W. Fan dissed his New Haven (sorta) namesake and will be setting up a futon in Harvard Yard come September. More»
