Steam Pipe Network

Reality

There is a system of steam pipes around the campus, and you can see where they are during the winter because the pipes melt the snow above them. The also kill the grass.

Myth

The underground steam pipe network beneath Knox serves to conduct heat between the nuclear power plant at the edge of Knox and the rest of Knox. This facility has been linked to outbreaks of radiation, turning several students and faculty into radioactive zombies. They remain in the pipes and tunnels beneath campus, lurking under Old Main, Post, and Longden. They have reportedly eaten several first years. If sighted, the zombies must be shot in the head to destroy the brain.
