free pizza!

this was something that I used to get all the time at UCSB. I never remember paying for a pizza :) all meetings, discussion sessions, company presentations, anything ... there'd be one thing for sure, free pizza. you can hog as much as you want and there will be free soda as well, just to wash it down :)

was talking to a friend today who went to Caltech for his UG. get ready for this ... google pays for all pizza bills if you are a CS student at Caltech and were working for any CS project (even course related ones), while ordering the pizza. you can work 24hrs every day ... order pizzas round the clock and google would simply reimburse you :) its an honor system, you just need to present the bills to a representative and he/she will reimburse you.

I can do that ... work on CS projects for 24 hrs and live on free pizza ... just don't ask me if those projects would work :)

I think Ill skip that. Too much of pizza doesnt really help. Id rather pay for pizza making sure I dont binge on it. Now if someone were to offer fruit salads like pizza, Id jump on it :)

probably the worst fooditem (maybe after hot dogs) is pizza.

i dont understand this stereotypeness of us CS guys with pizza. I was never attracted to it and never will be.

give me sub sandwiches anytime anyday!

to me pizza is one of the greatest inventions of mankind or one of gods fondest gifts. there is nothing like pizza and coke when you are hungry..

i have attended many a useless meetings just for free pizza. used note down the room numbers and timings from the fliers around campus. I even had a pizza buddy. i would call ourselves pizza crashers a la wedding crashers.. :-)) (by the way its a great movie, a must watch)

and one more reason for me to say “long live google”…
