Sad Facebook Group
I don't even think it qualifies as a group.
I was looking to see if the NRR had any fan clubs (it doesn't), and found this Group instead:
Name:
Dorky and Proud!!!
Type:
n/a
Description:
Yeah, that was me you saw reading that engineering book for fun. Got a problem? I think recording lectures and then playing it back in my free time is great. I'm genuinely interested in my classes and I will often do extra just for fun. Oh it's great because all the janitors in Doe and Dwinelle and Wheeler all know my name, since they have had to repeatedly ask me to stop studying and go home at 2:00 am. Whoooo, and lets not forget about HW. I finish all my problem sets way before the due date, because I can't wait to start learning! Yay!!!!

It's been terribly busy tonight at the Doe Reference Desk, and in my neverending helpfulness, this turned up in a search--an author named Mugglestone. A hidden history of the OED? More like a hidden history of (not?) Hogwarts!!
