Professors, New Year, Announcements (2/2/2016)
Men of Duncan,
Happy Groundhog Day, and Super Bowl Week, if that's a thing! This year, February will be rung in to the sound of 76,976 football fans cheering in the Levi's stadium. These fans (and millions more across the nation) will also be celebrating by indulging in limitless amounts of chips and dip. Aside from Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day for eating in America. While you're chowing down on all that caloric goodness, perhaps you can share these interesting facts with your fellow football fans: 1) No Super Bowl has ever been scoreless at halftime. 2) No coach has ever won more than two consecutive Super Bowl games. 3) No Super Bowl has been a shut-out, though some teams have left the game having scored only three points. Even if the upcoming game doesn't break any of these records, I wish you all a weekend of record-breaking fun! In spirit of all this excitement, Duncan Hall will be having all sorts of fun this week. Details are as follows:Invite Your Favorite Professor Dinner

Public Announcements Attached.
That's all for this week, folks. Hopefully, the excitement of this weekend will continue throughout February at Duncan Hall. Enjoy these few days off from school and all of those chips and dip, but one more thing...a man dies and goes to heaven and St. Peter asks him to give an account of his bravery. So the man explains, "I was refereeing this important match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield. The score was 0-0 and there was only one more minute of play to go in the second half when I awarded a penalty against Liverpool at the Kop end." "Yes," responded St. Peter, "I agree that was a real act of bravery. Can you perhaps tell me when this took place?" "Certainly," the man replied, "about three minutes ago."
Peace boys,
Nhat
