Yesterday, Halo 3 was released, resulting in a 24-hour nerdgasm for 12-year-old (and 22-year-old) boys all across the gaming universe. The night before, most quivered with ecstatic anticipation, prepping their mothers' basements for the LAN party they would soon be hosting.

John Harvard, it seems, was not exempt from this excitement. Tourists passing by his statue in Harvard Yard yesterday morning were treated to something different than the usual urine-soaked footrub affair. Hacked by MIT students, John Harvard was transformed into Master Chief, protagonist of the Halo game series.

Sadly, John's MJOLNIR helmet and assault rifle were removed at approximately 8AM, returning the statue back to its boring puritan self.

Totally teh suxorz!!!!1!
