Daily roundup: poking unleashed, pep unfulfilled and sleep unimaginable

Tuesday's apertifs:

• Behold the secrets of the poke.

• Get ready for the 47º water balloon fight. And we wonder why homecoming events routinely fail to attract attendees.

• Shocker: NU students find themselves sleep deprived.

• We're not just going organic. We're Go Go-ing organic.

• This week in Alec Davis: Evanston's the only town in America not to go for college football. That's nice, Alec, I'm just looking forward to the day we're washing dishes together in Kowloon.
