Remember when you were told it was unsanitary to put your mouth on the water fountain? Well, it's time to stop feeling so guilty.

Custodians in William L. Harkness Hall opened the building on Oct. 28 to find nude pictures taped to the walls, Yale Police Department Lt. Michael Patten said. In the background of the pornography, custodians saw something very familiar: the rooms of WLH.

It seems that over the weekend, a woman and at least one man snuck into WLH and took pictures of themselves in various compromising positions. It is unclear if the photos depict more than one male, Patten said. There is only one photo of the woman, shot from her waist down. The men also are not identifiable in the picture, said Greg Simpson, a custodian in WLH.

Simpson said he had an especially disturbing experience after he saw one photo in particular.

"After I drank out of the water fountain -- we found pictures where this guy put his stuff in the drinking fountain," Simpson said.

The men in the pictures also placed their penises on some of the building's doorknobs and telephones and used them to press the buttons on the elevator.

"You know, I touched those buttons without putting my gloves on," Simpson said. "I drink out of that water fountain."

The same day, Simpson said, a co-worker found a backpack that had been left in WLH over the weekend. When he looked in the backpack to find who the bag belonged to, he noticed another one of the pictures.

Simpson said his supervisor turned over some of the pictures and the backpack to Yale Police. He said many more pictures were thrown out and that he kept copies of some pictures "for protection."

A young man came to WLH about five times looking for the backpack but was not told police had it, Simpson said. After the police were finished with the bag, it was given back to the man.

"The kid was panicked," Simpson said. "[He] was very upset that he lost it."

It is not clear if Yale students are depicted in the photos. The case is still under investigation, Patten said.

They placed their penises on some doorknobs? Is there nothing else to do in that town?

Steph,

Yale = Dullsville. 'Nuff said.

Oh yeah, right... like T's never done that, huh?

Personally, I never touch the elevator buttons with anything but my penis. But I wear a condom cause you never know.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Could be the poor guy lost in hands in Iran for stealing bubblegum or something and had to use his penis to try and push buttons or open doors.

Okay, so you don't believe that. Oh well, so much for the benefit of the doubt.
