College student installs a hot tub in his dorm room

A senior at Ohio University is pursuing an independent study in hydro-thermodynamics, but not in the way you might think. Senior Kevin Lenahan has installed a hot tub in his dorm room. "This is how I meet people," Lanahan tells WOUB TV. "People I've never even met before show up with their swimming trunks and towels."

The tub is inflatable, but this is no backyard kiddie pool; the hot jobber has automated jets and a temperature control system. No report yet on whether Lenahan is keeping his textbooks dry, but the university has asked him to dismantle the tub.
