A new school year begins, so the Laws of Academic Calories must be in play

If there are leftover fudge brownies from freshman comp orientation, they contain no calories.

[N.B.: There remain questions about whether or not the Laws of Academic Calories remain in force when the academic doing the eating is on sabbatical; see, e.g., M. E. Burstein, "Chocolate Magnetism and the Academic Body: Deconstructing the Traditional Physio-Chemical Analysis," Studies in Academic Absurdity 1.1 (2008): 32-152.]

Comments

I am on sabbatical, as it happens, and in Paris. I could report regularly (if you'd like) on French calories eaten on sabbatical? It would add a perfect excuse for more macaroons, more baguettes, more croissants, and more napoleons--in the interests of research. What do you think?
