Basic violation of the NFL Theorems?

I just got back from a quick jaunt to the bookstore to pick up a new lab notebook to discover a note that read as follows:

Thesis Defense
Free Food
Downstairs by Coke machine
--Steve

I must've just missed it or something. Although he may have meant the lecture room down the hall from there... in which case it seems like a bad idea to wander into some random person's thesis defense fifteen minutes in just so I can grab a fruit plate.

Yeah, I know: give me a few months.

Regardless, I think this will quickly become one of my favorite parts of working in academia...
