I dunno, I slept in my office in grad school. It wasn't out of needing to feel like a hard worker or showing off or whatever, it was more that sometimes I just felt like working until I was about to fall asleep, and then I was too tired to head home.

He was referring to this xkcd - http://m.xkcd.com/977/ . The description, as stated in the article, was “You like Isaac Asimov, XML, and shoes with toes. You think the Segway got a bad rap. You own 3D goggles, which you use to view rotating models of better 3D goggles. You type in Dvorak.” I don't think that could be considered a vague personality test that can be applied to many people.

Read further down, exclusions to fringe benefits include Meals, Lodging on your business premises, Athletic facilities, and other things.
i.e. this seems to imply that optional lodging is taxable.
