Fire hydrant connected to a drinking fountainThis month's issue of Quick Take offers a sip from the fire hose with a look at fluid—alum innovations in olive oil, fluid trampolines that represent chaos theory, an understanding of traffic flows—you get the picture. And one section, called Drink, offers numerous new stanzas proposed for the Engineers' Drinking Song as composed by alumni partaking in last year's Alumni Association puzzle hunt. If you haven't read them, or need a refresher of the standard lyrics, take a look.

And, for your enjoyment, here's a video of the Chorallaries of MIT (students and alumni) performing the song at a spring 2009 concert.
