Back in the day, saying “I go to Harvard” was enough to impress the masses, but in the internet age, having a big brain or a big wallet apparently isn’t enough. You also have to definitively prove that you possess genitalia, as exemplified by the exploits of Lena Chen and now Matthew DiPasquale and , Harvard's new "porn" “magazine.”

Sex lives are like pets: infinitely more interesting to their owners than to anyone else. Yet Lena Chen and her fascination with all things genitally-related are getting her notice once again. Gawker yesterday gleefully linked to a photo she posted more than a week ago showing the after-effects of a messy hummer on Lena's face (NSFW, duh).

">"Public masturbation a persistent problem at Tisch Library," reports that, in the past year, four women claim to have encountered inappropriate public acts of self pleasure in the library. It sounds hilarious, but it is sexual harassment.

Note: A few NSFW links are in this post. All of them are craigslist-related. No pictures, but words.

--A man walking on a pond in Weymouth on Sunday fell in and was rescued before freezing to death. Neighbors heard his screams and called for help. The footage of the rescue was so dramatic that it's been making the rounds on CNN. [WCVB]

At this time of year, all the local colleges are settling in to contemplate who is in and who is out. Kids with stars in their eyes are hoping to go to the school of their choice so they can go on to lucrative careers as doctors, lawyers, and Internet entrepreneurs. An entrance to Harvard might lead to Facebook-esque fame.

--Yet another explanation for why you should have a sinking feeling in your tummy any time you go over a bridge in Massachusetts. [Boston Herald]

Bostonist had the wonderful luck to talk to some big-time talents in all fields this year. And, no, we're not sure how we tricked these people into talking to us. Here's a look back:

It's a hot debate right now. The Somerville Journal posted pictures and video of the annual Tufts Naked Quad Run. The video and pictures are far from titillating. It's tush, tush, tush as far as they eye can see.

--Police arrested another person who was allegedly involved in the murder of Revere police officer Daniel Talbot in September. WBZ reports that 17-year-old Gia Nagy was charged with being an Accessory to Murder After the Fact.

Harvard's sex magazine, H Bomb, is … uh … coming soon, and the staff threw a naked party in New York, according to the Crimson. And they had quite a turnout:

--The following falls more in the "Don't Panic" category instead of the "Blotter" category. If you stuck a TV set on top of a light pole at the corner of Main Street and Bishop Allen in Cambridge this morning, the Cambridge Police Department would like to have a word with you. You caused quite the freak-out. [Cambridge Chronicle] --The Christmas tree at the State House is covered blue light-emitting diodes," which conserve energy. However, the...

Google Street View has been available in several cities but has now made its debut in Boston, according to the Globe. The process allows you to take a 360 view of an address. If you want to use it, just go to Google Maps, type in a Boston address, and click on the little yellow man that pops up at the address. A new window will appear with a street-level image of the area. You...

Thanks to a glut of turkey and leftovers, Bostonist has been unable to fit into our fancy clothes--or our Project Runway review schedule--for the past few weeks. But thanks to some long sessions on the elliptical, we're all zipped up and back on track to follow Heidi's proteges all the way down the catwalk. Last week, Sarah Jessica Parker showed up--graciously refraining from grossing us out with an overly Carrie outfit--and asked the designers to...

H Bomb, the Harvard University sex magazine, vanished for reasons that had nothing to do with scabies. Last year, the people who ran H Bomb lost their status as an official student group. But ">Lingbo Li at the Crimson revealed this week that H Bomb is back in the school's good graces, and they will publish a new magazine on February 14. H Bomb only published two issues, but a new editor, Martha ‘Martabel’ Wasserman,...

There's more perks to being a BPD officer besides police details. The Globe did a feature on Michael O'Connor, the police officer who must handle traffic and keep an eye on stars who are filming movies in Boston. The gist of the story is that O'Connor has been busier lately with The Lonely Maiden starring Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy, and Christopher Walken. O'Connor is also keeping an eye on Real Men Cry with Ethan...

Bostonist has decided to talk to author Diane Rapaport about the history of the Puritans and their traditions.

Here's a wrap-up from the local papers about the strangest and funniest episodes of the night: Boston Herald: "A Teletubby dressed in Red Sox gear and a man naked but for a giant red, plastic beer cup costume were part of a procession that included a large number of kids in BU and Northeastern gear." Harvard Crimson: Streakers galore on DeWolfe Street. Universal Hub Commenter Molly Clare: Speaking of Harvard, "'OH. MY. GAWD. The Red...

--Since Red Sox fans have a reason to party this year, Mayor Thomas Menino is already stepping in to settle them down. He met with bar and restaurant owners to discuss when to cut off the sloppy drunks. He also said he doesn't want any live cameras in bars. No live cameras? What would a nationally televised game be without a cutaway to the fans who couldn't afford tickets but who still want to celebrate?...

Shalom Auslander Reading Thursday, October 11, 7:00 pm Brookline Booksmith Free More info From far away Shalom Auslander's memoir looks delicate and sweet, with lightly outlined white images traced on a red background. The title appears in a cursive font with looping letters. Then you look at the actual words on the cover--Foreskin's Lament. In this memoir, Auslander and his long departed foreskin have a lot to gripe about. Auslander was raised in an Orthodox...

A few weeks ago, a sex scandal in Arlington boiled over. Stavroula Bouris, the principal of Ottoson Middle School, and teacher Chuck Coughlin had been exchanging sexy e-mails. An anonymous individual gained access to those e-mails and turned them into Arlington school superintendent Nate Levenson. Levenson had tried to fire Bouris before - and now, two weeks before school starts in Arlington, he's done it. Bouris and Coughlin, who had already been fired, hired a...

--Why toss a bucket of paint on a richie's fur coat when you can stop furs at the source? In Hinsdale on Monday, someone set about 400 to 500 mink who were destined to become pricey furs free from a farm. That's a lot of mink to let loose! The owner of Berkshire Furs is naturally blaming the "antifur people." No one's been caught yet, and the owner said the animals wouldn't be able to...

Death at a Funeral will screen at Coolidge Corner on Thursday, August 2, at 7:30. Passes are available the day of the screening on a first-come, first-served basis. Frank Oz is swell because of the Muppet connection. Then again, he gave us that dreadful Stepford Wives remake. Frank, how could you? Oz is now redeeming his directing career by taking the Robert Altman path and looking to the UK for help. Altman turned to British...

Grace Metalious would be proud. Arlington always seemed kind of quiet and calm, but there's something bubbling under the surface. But principal Stavroula Bouris and teacher Chuck Coughlin at Ottoson Middle School are accused of turning the school into a hotbed of moral turpitude with their steamy e-mails. The Globe reports that the principal and teacher exchanged "sexually inappropriate e-mails" while at work. The Arlington Advocate reported that one of the e-mails from Coughlin to...

Banner week for SFist as the site's new editor introduced himself -- hooray for Brock! While the NY Times weighed in on SF's mayoral race, only SFist had the (insert tongue firmly into cheek) hard-hitting latest on candidate/activist Josh Wolf. Coverage of a protest vs. gentrification spawned a fantastic debate amongst SFist's readers. Finally, from the sublime to the ridiculous: video of a man that confused a Board of Supes meeting with "open mic...

LAist was comped front row seats by the Dodgers due to Malingering being struck by a foul ball last week, and she came back with some great photos, and earlier made fun of 4th of July on Venice Beach. But the biggest stories of the week was that the Mayor's Hot Tamale was revealed, and that a Kwik-E-Mart was erected in Burbank. Phillyist was busy doing the Fourth of July up right, exercising their...

--Lowe's Home Improvement stores have been getting a heap of negative publicity. First, their banner on the Boston Globe website's home page obscured the big news that legislators voted down the gay marriage ban. (See Adam and Spatch's appropriate sarcasm regarding these obtrusive Internet ads.) But it gets worse. The Lowe's brass is probably cringing at the news that a shootout erupted at the Danvers Lowe's last night. Imagine, you're at Lowe's, you're picking up...

Holy smokes! Giant fish on the MTA, Paris Hilton in jail, then out, then in again, Al Gore, goatses, blumpkins, Matt Damon, and baby art critics! It's been a busy week across the Ist-A-Verse, and here's a smattering of what's been going on. In Gothamist's neck of the woods, they found out that many things are possible: A man caught a 40+ pound fish off the Rockaways and took it home on the subway. Graffiti...

The author behind the blog the Full Comp, which told stories of restaurant life, has outed herself. She's Gwen Butler, who received a $3-million-dollar tip. The blog is a big deal, as she wrote a very public screed against her former boss, Garrett Harker at the Eastern Standard. This screed is nasty. It will make your momma blush. It will make you blush. The Weekly Dig, who printed how to find the screed on Google...
