HUGHES AUDITORIUM – Science & Medicine lecture was raucously interrupted on Wednesday by a noise so adorable, it cannot be adequately described in words. M1 student and eye witness Bob Hays recounts the event “We were in the middle of learning about competitive agonists, when all of a sudden this endearing racket shatters my attention and I suddenly feel all warm and fuzzy inside.” The class all simultaneously then uttered “Awww” and giggled before madly typing about the event into their powerpoint lecture slides.

While the “fuzziness” feeling was described by many who were interviewed, what was less clear was the actual description of the lovable sound, which has now been identified as having been a girl’s sneeze. M1 student Jennifer T. did her best to describe it: “It sounded like someone was tickling a puppy, or maybe a baby Sea Lion begging for a snack.” Will C. commented, “Remember the game Street Fighter? Think Chun Li and her fight noises.” Classmate Kevin T. then chimed in, “To me it sounded like Pikachu, if Pikachu were being repeatedly punched in the belly.” M1 Tiffany Moon commented, “What? We had class today?” Other descriptions included Teletubbies, Fran Drescher, and a Howler Monkey on fire.

The lecturer decided to just stop there, knowing that nothing he could say from then on could engage the class nearly as much as the lovable sneeze. What remains a mystery is who actually produced the sneeze in question. However upon extensive review of the video recordings of the lecture and through the use of state-of-the-art sound editing software, the culprit has finally been revealed: Reid Johnson.
