MIT Prof gets hungry - ends hunger strike.

James L. Sherley finally ended his 12 day hunger strike after he had a craving for a blooming onion from Outback Steakhouse. Sherley said "I've had this tremendous hankering for a blooming onion from day two and just couldn't hold out anymore!"
Ok... I'm lying Sherley decided that his hunger strike brought the desired attention to his struggle against the perceived issues of racism and his denial of tenure. MIT has released a statement with Sherley and will continue to look into the issues.
