As if dining at Longworth cafeteria wasn’t exciting enough, get ready for a mind-blowing exhibition today:

An unknown number of mostly young people are planning to stage a “flash mob protest” (an orchestrated event in which people arrange to meet in a public place to simultaneously perform an unusual action ) in the cafeteria at lunchtime today. At 12:15 p.m., participants will freeze in their tracks for 120 seconds , then drop ace playing cards — some labeled with “the world needs better” — and quietly walk out, according to an advertisement posted Monday on Craigslist and social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. [HOH]

Let us help translate:

"Unknown number" = no more than five
"orchestrated event" = a few bored students joined a Facebook group
"simultaneously perform" = strangely attempt to do the same thing
"unusual action" = pretending they have a job.
"120 seconds" = two minutes [for the ones unable to divide by 60]

We wish the Flashmob the best of luck – and suggest the buffalo chicken wrap … delicious.
