...sifted through all those pie wedges to unearth the most esoteric challenges of Millennium Trivial Pursuit, and stalked the most learned professors that grace the History Department here at Harvard. Many evaded the spotlight, claiming alleged "deadlines" and pleading the fifth, all the while reeking of self-doubt and insecurity. Fortunately, though, three brave souls came forth, but only after FM resorted to hunting down victims at the Xerox machine in the jungle of Robinson Hall...
