Two of our favorite buildings on campus, the Martin L. Thomas Building (the MARB) and the Harold B. Lee Library (the HBLL), have their very own (and very witty) Twitter accounts. The MARB and the HBLL have a history of going head-to-head in the Twittersphere in an ongoing battle to determine which building is the best — and it's hilarious.

Here's a lineup of seven of the greatest moments of the Twitter battle between the two buildings this school year:

We aren't sure who will win the battle of the buildings in the end ... but we can't wait for more MARB v. HBLL tweets!
