As colleges are wont to do, Earlham College, a small liberal arts institution in Richmond, Indiana, is working on building a new arts facility and a new science facility, and providing "naming opportunites" for major contriubtors.

One of the more illustrious recent alumni to come from Earlham is Michael C. Hall, award-winning actor and star of both "Dexter" and "Six Feet Under."

Against all reason, one of the "naming opportunites" is for the Science facility's Cadaver Storage Room.

The Venn diagram for "graduate from a small, midwestern liberal arts college" and "enjoys cleverly named rooms" is pretty well just a circle. (Probably second only to "enjoys rooms with pun-based names," but the adjacent Earlham Cemetary was already founded by the Pine-Coffins, so it's hard to beat that ((though, of course, if Mr. Michael C. Hall himself wanted to get himself and his warchest behind the effort, you could end up with the science building named "Hall Hall").

In very short order, other alumni started an attempt to crowdsource the necessary funds.
