MIT has a well-deserved reputation of being home to the kinds of people who will get rich off of making the world a better place while the rest of us read about it online. However, genius apparently has its limitations, and at MIT those limitations are represented hygienically.
Body odor has become such an issue in the halls that the school has actually invested money in buying toothpaste and deodorant for rank, nasty students who are funking up the buildings. Can you even begin to imagine how much stink we're talking about if administrators had to get together and allocate funds to deal with it?
Asking people to run a wet cloth across their bits might have worked just as well, but for whatever reason, since a number of hardcore students are willing to eschew even the basics of living during study sessions leading up to finals, this was apparently the best solution available.
Here's hoping all these people graduate and go on to invent personal jetpacks and portable, affordable baconizers, thus making this all worthwhile. Keep reading and be amused by some of the brains at MIT graphing the problem out for CNN.
