Ha, Philip Greenspun, concerned that the new MIT swimming pool didn’t provide soap in the showers (“I thought this was kind of disgusting because it means that people don’t take soap showers before swimming (in theory someone could make an extra trip back and forth to a locker, but I haven’t seen it done)”) volunteered to donate the soap, but was knocked back. Fast-forward to now, and the pool is shut down, apparently because “the bacteria got out of control.”
