Twitter: death to CAESAR, cats in costumes, and tofu dresses
This week on Twitter: We should totally just stab CAESAR, Central Evanston dares Lady Gaga to wear tofu, Norris provides online hammock reservations, and Evanston community is apparently sick of all the Purple Pride. more 
Twitter: Cat circus in DM tent, Mobile Leprechaun Youtube video snubbed
Northwestern Twitters were buzzing this week. With registration, midterms, and the Oscars, everyone had something to say. We also witnessed the birth of possibly the best new fake Twitter account: @NorrisCatLady. Find out what everyone’s talking about, after the jump. more
Spring quarter classes you may have overlooked
Oh, registration time. Time to craft the perfect spring quarter schedule that will provide you with plenty of free time to enjoy the impending sunny, warm weather. Or a time to squeeze in your last few distros before graduation. Either way, there are probably some classes in CAESAR you’ve overlooked. It’s not exactly the most user-friendly way to search for interesting classes. Check out our list of spring quarter classes that may have flown under your radar after the jump. more 
Readers look to Austin Young, Chet Haze for help with registration
You know it’s registration time when you start stalking CAESAR more than Facebook. Sure, filling your shopping cart with an excess of classes is fun—but not nearly as fun shopping the private sale at Bloomie’s. And of course we all want to craft the perfect schedule (read: no classes on Monday or Friday, please). So we looked to you, loyal Intel readers, for your registration secrets. Some of you were blunt (“Why would I tell you?), others matter of fact (“Get a good time”), and then of course there’s always the one answer that goes over our head (“Monopoly”). Check out all the advice after the jump. more
Tired of having to wade through CAESAR’s course descriptions in order to find that dream class? Well your next class may in fact wind up on YouTube before it hits CTECs. In an effort to expand his class size, a professor at Lehigh University decided to go with some inventive publicity. Journalism professor Jeremy Littau grabbed his camcorder and filmed a decent promotional video for his multimedia reporting course. more
No luxury suites for NU
If you were hoping for a tanning bed in Bobb, sorry to disappoint: while many schools are upgrading their housing to luxury status, NU is focusing on improvements to the basics rather than new construction. But, here’s a fun fact: Who knew that Slivka had private bathrooms? [The Daily] more
God, it is a slow day. The Daily Northwestern is all about swine flu and Morty Schapiro’s address to freshmen. Boring. NBN has a Mad Men review! (Choose your own adjective.) We’ll keep it brief.
An armed robber physically fought off his two police escorts and stole their car. He’s thought to be hiding in Arlington Heights. That’s like ten miles from campus. [PioneerLocal]
It took eight engineers more than a year to touch up the new Northwestern website, says Al Cubbage, the NU veep who coordinated its development. Wow, have you used it? CAESAR is actually worse than before—you now have to navigate two separate CTECs databases. We’ve still got those old mail servers (although I am a little attached to Hecky). And the directory system is unchanged. What’s really looking good is all that gooey “news” NU puts out. Alright, Al. What did it cost? [The Daily]
Ok, this is a fun wait-loss technique. A Chicago doctor has implanted a piece of mesh in the tongues of 10 patients, to make eating painful. [Chicago Tribune]
